Qian Bao, 37 What is your educational and professional background? I completed my undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University, China. Following that, I earned my Master’s degree from Tohoku University in Japan, where my research focused on computational fluid dynamics simulations involving two-phase flow. Specifically, I worked...

A recent study found that the Hubbard model failed to accurately predict the behavior of a simplified one-dimensional cuprate system. According to scientists at SLAC, this suggests the model is unlikely to fully account for high-temperature superconductivity in two-dimensional cuprates. Superconductivity—the ability of materials to conduct electricity without energy loss—holds...

IBM has announced plans to invest $150 billion in the United States over the next five years, marking one of the most significant commitments by a major tech company to bolster American manufacturing and emerging technologies. A substantial portion of this investment, over $30 billion, will be directed specifically toward...

The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) has released its first Insights Paper, offering a powerful look at how quantum computing could reshape healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Developed through extensive engagement with industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers, the paper delivers clear, actionable insights for healthcare executives, pharmaceutical innovators, policymakers, and funders. The...

As industries worldwide race toward decarbonization, reliable solutions that balance emissions goals with energy demands remain elusive. But a new partnership between Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) and Chart Industries (NYSE: GTLS) signals a promising shift—one that could redefine how energy-intensive sectors like data centers and manufacturers approach carbon capture and...

At NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, a major step toward global hydrogen trade has quietly taken shape. CB&I, in partnership with Shell, GenH2, and the University of Houston, recently unveiled a first-of-its-kind concept for affordable, commercial-scale liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage—designed to support international import and export operations....
