A deep exploration of how entropy, information theory, quantum mechanics, and emergent gravity reshape our understanding of reality—from Carnot and Boltzmann to black holes, holography, and Erik Verlinde's information-based universe.
The UK government has announced that it will invest significantly in public research and development, directing billions of pounds to high-priority technologies and fast-growing companies to accelerate economic growth.
The European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund has taken the following steps toward strengthening Europe's technological sovereignty by finalising its first two equity investments under the new EIC Step Scale Up scheme.
The European Commission has approved 56 projects for funding under the fourth round of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital programme, marking a significant push toward strengthening Europe’s digital infrastructure.
A collaboration across Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley has performed a simulation of a quantum microchip using nearly all 7,168 NVIDIA GPUs on the Perlmutter supercomputer. This physical modelling is a vital step toward perfecting next-generation quantum hardware.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a $625 million investment to renew its five National Quantum Information Science (QIS) Research Centres.
A recent study reviews the major photonics breakthroughs of 2024, focusing on a team’s pioneering work to couple free electrons with nonlinear optical states in integrated microresonators, unlocking new potential for advanced electron control and imaging.
Europe is home to 32% of the world’s quantum tech companies, with the majority based in the EU. This puts Europe ahead of the United States (around 25%) and significantly ahead of China (5%) in terms of the number of companies.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered a previously unknown quantum mechanism in an organic semiconductor that could significantly enhance the capture and conversion of solar energy into electricity.
Northwestern University researchers develop a molecular coating for tungsten diselenide, boosting single-photon emission purity by 87%, advancing quantum technology reliability.
From the birth of quantum mechanics to the cutting edge of nanoscience and the deepest reaches of fundamental physics, this article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the Planck length.
Christophe Salomon, a physicist and recipient of a European Research Council (ERC) grant, has been awarded the 2025 Balzan Prize for his research on ultra-cold atoms and the development of next-generation atomic clocks.
A team of researchers at Argonne National Laboratory has developed a groundbreaking technique that allows them to explore quantum behaviour in materials at a tiny scale, just a few nanometers from the surface.
