News Summary:

On September 28, 2026, a new species of Mosasaur was identified in Provence, southeastern France. Previously, on September 25, the French National Research Agency (ANR) funded "Spherographia," an arts-science project involving researchers from six research units, artists' collectives, and partner museums, to examine how virtual globes, as 2D or 3D representations, shape perceptions of Earth's reality. Earlier, on September 22, research focused on "Solving the Schrödinger equation with imagination," delving into the quantum mechanics equation postulated by Erwin Schrödinger in 1925, which allows, in principle, for the calculation of a physical system's properties, including atomic characteristics, molecular reactivity, and material response. This followed an earlier inquiry on September 18 regarding the formation of the partially molten layer above Mars’s core.
