Découverte Magazine - No. 453

The magazine published by the Palais de la découverte and the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie is a quarterly popular science and cultural publication designed to make science accessible to everyone. Tied to the exhibitions, events, and conferences of both institutions, it covers major contemporary scientific topics and sheds light on societal debates with an educational approach and a spirit of curiosity.

This issue invites readers to uncover deception by exploring the greatest scientific hoaxes, from historical fake news to modern manipulations that test our critical thinking. It also offers an in-depth look at major medical and societal issues surrounding infertility and gamete preservation, in light of the latest technological advances. Finally, it offers a more contemplative interlude, straddling science, art, and history, by exploring the mysterious Borromean rings and the treasures of the Radiology Museum.
