Scientists at the University of Cambridge suggest molecules, vital to the development of life, could have formed from a process known as graphitisation. Once verified in the laboratory, it could allow us to try and recreate plausible conditions for life's emergence. A big part of life is simplicity. It’s order. It’s coming...

New research suggests that there might be other ways to generate solar energy than just trying to make individual solar cells super-efficient. Scientists are always on the lookout for ways to make our world a better place, and one area they're focusing on is solar energy. One idea in this area is to make solar cells more...

An ambitious project aiming to revolutionise quantum communication networks has successfully secured funding through the prestigious QuantERA 2023 call . The MEEDGARD project, short for "Memory Enhanced Entanglement Distribution with Gallium ARsenide quantum Dots,” is focusing on developing an efficient optical interface...

Scientists at the Cavendish Laboratory have been allocated more than 300 hours of observing time with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This observing time has been awarded through four successful programmes, including a Large Programme, led by Hannah Übler, Tobias Looser, Francesco D’Eugenio and Roberto Maiolino, and...
