Près de 15.000 téléphones et ordinateurs ont été inspectés par les douanes américaines entre avril et juin 2025, un record depuis 2018. Les voyageurs étrangers, notamment canadiens, sont les premiers concernés.

Dans plusieurs milliers de communes, les habitants peuvent bénéficier de complémentaires santé aux tarifs et prestations négociés par les collectivités locales. La formule des mutuelles dites « communales » connaît des succès variables.

From selling data buckets to monetizing interactions, trust, and intelligence, why gigabytes are the crude oil of telecom, and value lies in the petrochemicals built on top.

We spend less than 1% of our revenue on R&D. In 2022, AT&T, with more than $120 billion in revenue, spent just over $1.2 billion on research and development. Vodafone and Telefónica are in the same range. Compare that with Alphabet, which allocates approximately 15% of its $280 billion in revenue to R&D, or Meta, at nearly 20%. Even Apple, often described as conservative, spends more than 7%.Our spending goes elsewhere. CAPEX intensity for the sector runs at 15% to 18%. For Vodafone, €7.8 billion on €45 billion of revenue; for AT&T, roughly $24 billion a year. Spectrum auctions, towers, and fibre consume everything. Then come dividends. European operators yield between 5% and 8%. AT&T yields around 6. Debt service takes another 10% of revenue. The sector carries more than $1.7 trillion in debt, with leverage at three times EBITDA in many cases. After those obligations, there is nothing left for invention.

The environmental impact of streaming extends far beyond servers and networks: it reaches our mobile devices and living rooms. At Greening of Streaming, we’ve been investigating where and how energy is consumed across the streaming ecosystem. These four recommendations emerged from our research and testing. We don’t claim they are the most important actions, but they are practical, user-facing steps that operators and service providers could promote or support today.

Un article de l’historien Jean-Baptiste Fressoz relance le débat sur l’activité du groupe-3 du Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat. Il l’accuse de technophilie, et de sous-estimer le volet sociétal de l’action contre le changement climatique. Mais d’où vient le problème ?

Despite promising results from existing randomized controlled trials of semaglutide and tirzepatide in those with obesity-related HFpEF, regulatory authorities and professional societies have not approved or endorsed the use of these drugs for HFpEF, due in part to the studies’ relatively small sample sizes and unknown generalizability. The researchers therefore used data from three large U.S. insurance claims databases to emulate two previous, placebo-controlled trials of semaglutide and tirzepatide in new study populations that were an average of 19 times larger than those previously evaluated.

We're living through an unprecedented paradox: your best innovation ideas aren't losing to bad ideas – they're losing to exhaustion. The Hidden Crisis Every executive I know is evaluating 40+ innovation proposals monthly.

Tsinghua’s Agent Hospital was made up of 14 AI doctors upon launch. At its core, is MedAgent-Zero, the self-evolving AI framework developed by the University’s AIR (Institute for AI Industry Research). Moreover, in November of 2024, the “Zijing AI Doctor” was launched. Developed by a Tsinghua University spin-out start-up, Zijing Zhikang, to serve as the core component in AI Agent’s ecosystem.1 The system features 42 AI doctors across 21 clinical specialties, covering over 300 diseases. Furthermore, each specialty has trained its virtual agents on over ten common conditions. And finally, by creating a pool of half a million synthetic patient cases to test and evolve diagnostic accuracy. These AI doctors can treat 10,000 patients with 93% accuracy in a matter of days, a feat that would take real doctors years to complete.

Political and social changes in the U.S. and other Western democracies in the 21st century have triggered growing concerns about possible erosion of academic freedom.In the past, colleges and universities largely decided whom to admit and hire, what to teach, and which research to support. Increasingly, those prerogatives are being challenged.

Despite the rush to integrate powerful new models, about 5% of AI pilot programs achieve rapid revenue acceleration; the vast majority stall, delivering little to no measurable impact on P&L. The research—based on 150 interviews with leaders, a survey of 350 employees, and an analysis of 300 public AI deployments—paints a clear divide between success stories and stalled projects.

Députée de la 9ᵉ circonscription de Seine-Maritime depuis 2022, elle a été réélue face à un candidat Rassemblement national, en juillet. En mal de reconnaissance, l’économie sociale et solidaire, qui prône un autre partage des richesses, pèse 14,9 % de l’emploi privé en France.

J’ai testé pour vous pendant un mois le Minimal Phone — ce smartphone e-paper à clavier physique. Je voulais savoir si la combinaison d’un écran papier noir et blanc, d’un clavier physique et d’Android était une option viable pour reprendre en main sa vie numérique dans l’esprit de l’accompagnement que propose TeleCoop à ses abonnés mobile.

Unlike industries like beauty that maintain owned retail spaces for immersive brand experiences, packaging is often the only brand ambassador for grocery-bound products and their loyalty programmes are often reliant on retailers as well. Innovating in packaging designs can be a meaningful and low-cost brand activation for F&B players to encourage direct engagement.By viewing packaging as an opportunity for purposeful dialogue with consumers, companies can develop strategies that turn transactional moments into emotional bonds. Interactive technologies like QR codes and NFC chips offer a cost-effective loyalty solution, but most brands underutilise them by linking only to basic product information. The real opportunity lies in crafting unique post-scan experiences that deliver exclusive content, turning each scan into a branded moment that deepens relationships. In fact, consumers are likely to grow into brand ambassadors through positive technology experiences.

Three independent models, grounded in public data and two decades of telecom experience, to estimate the real cost of building 6G.

Climate experts say it will hobble the country's efforts to rein in rising temperatures and lessen the impacts, such as more intense storms, droughts and wildfires. The federal government's own research shows climate-fueled extreme weather is already causing $150 billion in losses a year in the US.

En à peine dix ans, un établissement marocain a réussi à se faire une place dans le classement des meilleures classes préparatoires pour les écoles d'ingénieurs les plus prestigieuses. Niveau remarquable en maths, quasi-parité dans les classes : le modèle a de quoi susciter la curiosité en France.

In recent years, the revolutionary field of immunotherapy has drastically reshaped the landscape of cancer treatment, pushing the boundaries of what modern medicine can achieve. Among these advancements, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy stands out as one of the most promising strategies that could redefine the future of cancer eradication. Building upon decades of immunological research, this innovative therapy harnesses the very cells of the immune system to specifically target and eliminate malignant cells, offering new hope to patients with otherwise refractory cancers.
