RETROSPECTIVE. Understanding the formation of our Earth and planets in general is one of the major scientific questions of our time. Chondrules, which are found in the core of certain meteorites, are also thought to be the building blocks of the telluric planets. In this study, IPGP researchers have used a new method to date these chondrules, thus lifting the […]

The next step in our LabEx UnivEarthS science retrospective leads us to know more about the essential role of current and future neutrino detectors for the multi-messenger observation of core-collapse supernovae. A result obtained, among others, by APC researchers. Core-collapse supernovae are highly energetic explosions produced during the collapse of a massive star (with a mass exceeding 10 solar masses). […]

To celebrate the end of the year, the LabEx UnivEarthS proposes to come back to its outstanding 2020 results. First stop on this retrospective: an international team, including IPGP researchers, reveals how the Earth’s primitive atmosphere must have been extremely rich in carbon dioxide in similar proportions to what is currently found in the atmosphere of Venus. The Earth’s current […]
