During the night of August 12 to 13, 2025, Ariane 6 launched the Metop-SGA1 satellite from EUMETSAT into orbit, dedicated to meteorology and climate monitoring. On board: the IASI-NG instrument, developed by the CNES, for which Bertin Technologies supplied cutting-edge equipment. MetOp-SGA1: A new era for space meteorology Installed on the MetOp meteorological satellite, the […]

Summer is the perfect time to slow down, explore, and learn something unexpected. Whether you are relaxing by the sea or simply curious about it, our latest summer readings offer fresh insights into how the ocean responds to climate change. These stories connect food, ecosystems, and the sky in surprising ways. They are not only […]

The MicroCarb satellite was successfully launched during the night of July 25 to 26, 2025, from the Guiana Space Centre aboard a Vega C launcher operated by Arianespace. Developed by CNES, this 180 kg microsatellite is the first European mission dedicated to mapping carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes on a global scale—an essential step in understanding […]

Every year on June 5, people worldwide come together to mark World Environment Day, a global initiative led by the United Nations to raise awareness and drive action for the environment. While forests, oceans, and wildlife often take center stage, one form of biodiversity is usually left out of the picture: microorganisms. The microbiome: the […]

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), currently under construction in Chile by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), will soon become the largest telescope in the world. It will be distinguished by its main mirror, 39 metres in diameter and made up of 800 segments, which will be phased and controlled by the Phasing Diagnostic Station (PDS) […]

Multi-Tissue Dissociation remains one of the most critical and complex steps in preparing samples for cell-based assays. Inconsistent performance across tissue types, low cell viability, and poor reproducibility often compromise the quality of downstream analysis. As research in cellular physiology, pathology, and regenerative medicine becomes increasingly sophisticated, achieving reliable and standardized tissue processing is more […]

The invisible Biodiversity When we think of biodiversity, we often picture tropical forests, coral reefs, or endangered species. But one of the richest and most essential ecosystems on Earth is invisible: the microbiome. These microbial communities, like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea are everywhere: in the soil, in fermented foods, and inside our bodies. They […]

On May 20-21, join our teams at the 5th edition of the Counter UAS Summit, held at the Air Base 701 in Salon-de-Provence. This major European event is organized by the SAFE Cluster, in partnership with the General Secretariat for Defence and National Security (SGDSN), the French Air and Space Force, the National Frequency Agency […]

At Bertin Technologies, we are proud to support projects and people who embody our values: courage, team spirit, confidence and talent. Aware of our army’s unwavering commitment to serving our country, we take action to help wounded servicemen and women. This year, we have chosen to sponsor motorcycle champion Thibaut Foray for his 2025 season. […]

Monitoring airborne bacteria is essential in environments where contamination can pose serious health, safety, or preservation risks. Whether in hospitals, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, or cultural institutions, airborne microbial presence — especially bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus — demands high-performance air sampling solutions. This independent laboratory study by VirexpR compares the bacterial air sampling performance of two bio-collectors […]
