The year 2025 has been particularly rich in discoveries. Observations of exoplanets have gained in precision, with detailed atmospheric analyses and the identification of worlds with extreme conditions. Telescopes have also shed light on objects that are still poorly understood, such as the "little red dots" observed in the distant Universe, as well as credible candidates for dark matter stars, rekindling debates on the nature of invisible matter.
In the field of digital technologies, 2025 saw the rise of new applications for artificial intelligence in health, industry, and scientific research. AI-assisted diagnostic tools have multiplied, as have systems to aid in the discovery of new materials and medicines. This rapid progress has been accompanied by discussions on the regulation, reliability, and environmental impact of AI.
The year 2026 promises to be just as eventful in the space domain. The Artemis II crewed flight around the Moon is a key step for humanity's sustainable return to our satellite. This mission must validate navigation, survival, and communication systems. It is part of a broader dynamic of preparing lunar bases and future missions to Mars, with significant scientific, technological, but also political stakes... China is making giant leaps in this area and could well surpass the Americans.
In parallel, 2026 should be marked by an acceleration in digital infrastructures and artificial intelligence. The expansion of data centers and the integration of AI into everyday objects will transform usage patterns. AI is expected to become more specialized and energy-efficient, while becoming a central tool for scientific analysis.
