MEAD will use atomic-scale materials engineering to unlock new capabilities in communications, sensing and computing, by developing devices such as highly sensitive masers, the microwave equivalent of lasers Manchester researchers will lead a new £12.6 million UK research programme launched to accelerate the development of next-generation photonic and quantum technologies. Funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), and in partnership with researcher

Electrochemical water splitting powered by renewable electricity is a promising pathway to sustainable hydrogen production, but its efficiency and scalability remain limited by costly catalysts and slow reaction kinetics. With €1.5 million in funding from the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung for five years, Dr. Yongkang Wang and his team will pursue a new approach by visualizing and controlling water at the molecular level, using nanoscale confinement to shape its structure and dynamics a

The new Finnish startup is disrupting the ways of controlling large-scale quantum computers by delivering a completely new class of electronic devices – superconducting transistors. These novel devices combine the computational power of transistors with the ultra-low power dissipation of superconductors. S-Transistors is developing first-of-its-kind quantum motherboards that will provide energy- and cost-efficient orchestration of cryogenic quantum computers at scale. Espoo,

This follows the March 2025 announcement with President Trump and Secretary Lutnick in which TSMC agreed to expand its original $65 billion investment commitment by an additional $100 billion. The total planned investment in the United States is now a record $265 billion.
