In a Stanford-led laboratory study, researchers closely paired bleached corals with healthy clones, making sure they touch each other. The bleached coral fragments fully recovered within just around seven weeks, indentifying a fast and easy pathway for stressed algae to return to full life.

Des coraux blanchis se rétablissent en laboratoire par contact

PHYS

Dans une étude en laboratoire menée à Stanford, des fragments de corail blanchis ont retrouvé leur état normal en sept semaines après contact avec des clones sains, tandis que les fragments séparés sont morts. Le mécanisme accélère le retour d’algues bénéfiques, mais reste impraticable à l’échelle des récifs.

A Portuguese study has modelled how surplus wind and solar power could be stored as compressed air in deep porous rock. In the most favorable scenario, one reservoir could hold up to 1 TWh, close to the consumption of some medium-sized cities.

During a 2022 Red Sea heat wave, corals treated with beneficial bacteria kept their colour and photosynthetic function while untreated corals declined. The field study suggests probiotics, and one heat-killed treatment, can reduce bleaching in the wild, survival benefits and large-scale use still needs trials.

Denmark is set to introduce a bill that bans sharing realistic AI deepfakes of people’s faces and voices without consent. The proposal would amend copyright law, cover ordinary people and artists, and keep exceptions for satire, parody, and criticism unless the content creates serious risks.

Italy will require all of its estimated 12,000 paid beach concessions to be publicly tendered by September 30, 2027, ending automatic renewals that kept many operators in place for generations. The reform responds to EU competition rules and could improve transparency over access to public coastline, though family firms fear larger bidders.
