Quantum computing is a favourite subject, with time crystals, longer-distance connections between devices and new atomic-layer components. Supercomputing also features through JUPITER, Europe’s first exascale machine. Space stories follow the UK Space Agency and an ESA mission searching for Earth-like planets.
Closer to the user, articles look at a £6.9 million investment in UK satellite communications, the promise of 6G for greener cities, AI chips that could change how we use the internet and the security risks of end-of-life software. Several headlines are dramatic; the articles themselves are the better guide. For a first read, the satellite and software pieces have the most direct impact on households.
