CERN researchers are contributing to a growing number of projects aimed at developing technological solutions to environmental challenges—from fusion power and marine pollution detection to renewable energy distribution and cleaner aviation. These initiatives, carried out with academic and industrial partners, are coordinated through the CERN Innovation Programme for Environmental Applications...

By Victoria Corless Scientists studying “magic-angle” graphene have captured the clearest evidence yet of the electronic signature behind its superconductivity, cutting through years of speculation about what drives its exotic behavior. “When superconductivity was first discovered in magic-angle graphene, it was surprising,” says Jeong Min Park of Princeton University. “Graphene...

ByNeetika Walter Scientists in Toronto have unveiled a chilling breakthrough: a laser-regulated atomic clock cooled to just five degrees above absolute zero, promising a leap in timekeeping accuracy unlike anything used today. Physicists at the University of Toronto have developed the world’s first cryogenic single-ion optical atomic clock, a next-generation...

The French-German consortium Quandela and attocube systems GmbH has successfully delivered Lucy, a 12-qubit photonic quantum computer, to the Très Grand Centre de Calcul (TGCC) at CEA in France. Procured by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking under the EuroQCS-France initiative, Lucy marks a major milestone in Europe’s quantum computing roadmap. Lucy...

by Dr. Lakshya Gangwar, University of Minnesota Imagine a future where organs can be stored indefinitely “as glass,” and ready to be brought back to life at a moment’s notice. That’s the bold horizon sketched by a new study from University of Minnesota researchers, published in Nature Communications, 16 8511...

by Pranav Date, Stirling Cryogenics The Cold Chain Problem in Africa Africa’s agricultural productivity has been steadily improving, yet the absence of cold storage facilities in rural regions continues to pose severe challenges. Without reliable refrigeration, perishable goods often spoil before they can reach markets. This results in high post-harvest...
