My guardian angel has never replied to me but my computer surely did–it has always been there for us. To it we entrust our happiness, success and sorrow, we confide our deepest secrets and we seek the answers we fear to voice elsewhere. It offers us the space we need to connect with thy neighbor and allows both proximity and anonymity while hiding behind a made-up username–haunted still by the shame of our trespassing. During a time of widespread uncertainty, highlighted by collective feelings of dread and pessimism, we often seek answers and reassurance in the most unusual places.

Depuis trois décennies, le professeur de droit Vincent Gautrais observe l’essor rapide des technologies de l’information et tente de mieux protéger les citoyens contre les dangers qui y sont associés.

Den meisten Menschen sind die Nukleinsäure-Moleküle DNA und RNA ein Begriff: Die DNA ist als Träger der Erbinformation bekannt, die RNA seit einigen Jahren auch als Bestandteil innovativer Impfstoffe.
Beide Nukleinsäuren können auch wie Enzyme wirken und in dieser Funktion den Ablauf biochemischer Vorgänge erleichtern. Die Wissenschaft spricht in diesem Fall von katalytischen Nukleinsäuren. Deren Erforschung ist eine aufstrebende Disziplin der Chemie.

IViR is pleased to introduce our new visiting researcher Andrei Pop. Andrei is a PhD candidate in Philosophy of Law at the University of Milan (Statale di Milano), where his research bridges the gap between constitutional tradition and technological disruption.

Once again, Lebanon’s telecom infrastructure is under pressure as the war with Israel escalates. Israel’s bombing on residential neighborhoods caused a massive wave of displacement, and residents are worried that telecoms may not be able to keep the country connected.

Despite the lessons learned during the 2024 war, Lebanon’s Ministry of Telecommunications still appears to lack a clear emergency plan to maintain connectivity during bombardment, mass displacement, and the mounting strain on so-called “safe” areas now absorbing growing populations.
