‘Graphene will change the world’: the boss using the ‘supermaterial’ in the global microchip war
Simon Thomas knew the periodic table by heart at six. Now the Cambridge firm’s co-founder is putting his scientific brain behind graphene’s power to help us compete with China
Passkeys: A No-Frills Explainer On The Future Of Password-Less Authentication
Passkeys are beginning to make their way into popular apps, from password managers to multi-factor authenticators, but what exactly are they? As this new technology promises to make passwords a thing of the past, Neal Fennimore explains the concepts behind passkeys, demonstrates how they work, and speculates what we might expect from them in the future.

In 250 Million Years, a Single Supercontinent will Form, Wiping Out Nearly all Mammals
A recent study published in Nature Geoscience uses supercomputer climate models to examine how a supercontinent, dubbed Pangea Ultima (also called Pangea Proxima), that will form 250 million years from now will result in extreme temperatures, making this new supercontinent uninhabitable for life, specifically mammals. This study was conducted by an international team of researchers … Continue reading "In 250 Million Years, a Single Supercontinent will Form, Wiping Out Nearly all Mammals"
The massive battery storage projects that will replace coal and gas, and fossil cars
Battery storage will see changes in chemistries in the push for longer lasting batteries for the grid, and less range obsession for EVs. And even solid state batteries could be a thing by 2030.
