Quantum Computing Emerges as Key Player in Climate and AI Race

September 29, 2025/by insnet editor

A team at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has reached a new milestone in quantum computing: a functioning system with 6,100 qubits. These are so-called neutral-atom qubits held in place by optical “tweezers.” It is the most extensive and most stable qubit array ever built. For the global quantum community, this is considered a breakthrough: for the first time, scalability is being combined with high accuracy and long coherence.

Hydrogen refuel rollout in Europe heads for failure

July 6, 2025/by insnet editor

As hydrogen infrastructure is rolled out in the EU, refuelling stations must be distributed according to the same principle in all countries. However, a study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden now highlights shortcomings in EU regulations. Using an advanced model, the researchers show that the distribution of refueling stations may be incorrectly dimensioned and lead to losses of tens of millions of euros a year in some countries.

The Battery Race: Which Technology Will Power the Future at Scale?

March 26, 2025/by insnet editor

As the world embraces clean energy, the spotlight has shifted to the next big challenge—how to store it. From solar-powered homes to electric vehicles and entire national grids, the need for efficient, scalable, and sustainable battery technologies is more significant than ever. In 2025, several battery innovations are emerging as frontrunners, but only a few show real promise for wide-scale adoption. So, which one is most likely to win the race?

China claims leap forward in nuclear fusion

January 29, 2025/by insnet editor

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), China’s experimental nuclear fusion reactor, has reportedly sustained a fusion reaction for over 1,000 seconds for the first time—specifically, 1,066 seconds (nearly 18 minutes). Despite this significant breakthrough, the news received little attention in Western media.
