A microscopic tardigrade, also known as a water bear, walking across a glass slide.

Extremely resilient, it can survive decades without food or water and are the only known animal that can survive in direct exposure in space.

Science and facts💡

Scientists create matter from pure light, proving Einstein's 120-years old theory E = mc², right in the lab.

For the very first time, researchers used ultra-powerful lasers to smash photons particles of light together, triggering a reaction that produced actual particles of matter and antimatter: electrons and positrons.

This is known as the Breit-Wheeler process, a phenomenon first predicted back in 1934 but never observed in the lab until now.
