By Isabela Soares Bicalho, Gabriel Mantelli, Maria Antonia Tigre and Carmem Añon Brasolin. On March 30, 2022, the Brazilian Supreme Court, the most important judicial body in the country, will hear seven cases, and all of them are environmental cases.

It is a mathematical puzzle that stumped Galileo, but researchers in France think they have discovered how rope and yarn fibres held together by nothing more than friction are able to carry heavy loads without breaking. Jérôme Crassous of the Institute of Physics of Rennes and Antoine Seguin of the Université Paris-Saclay have shown that small twists in a rope multiply into massive frictional forces that lock the fibres together.
