Our world runs on semiconductors. The silicon slivers are the brains of our phones, computers, cars, data centres, and stock markets. They’re also the digital backbone of modern militaries.  Some of the first chips ever made were used in missile guidance systems. Today, they power countless military devices, from fighter jets and howitzers to radios and radar. In the Russia-Ukraine war, semiconductors enable HIMARS rocket launchers, Javelin anti-tank missiles, and the Starlink communications satellites. They’re also integral to the arms race underway in East Asia, where territorial disputes in the East and South China Seas risk spiralling into a major…

At a somewhat small and unassuming airport in Maribor, Slovenia, German hydrogen propulsion startup H2FLY has quietly been building up to a major milestone in zero-emission aviation over the summer. And all the hard work has come to fruition, with the successful completion of the world’s first crewed liquid hydrogen-powered flights.  Before any aviation history enthusiast out there goes “but what about the Tupolev Tu-155?” — yes, the Soviets did try out liquid hydrogen as fuel 35 years ago, but only for one of the three engines. In contrast, H2FLY’s HY4 has now operated using only liquid hydrogen (as opposed…

Posted In: Uncategorized


After months of negotiations, the UK is rejoining Horizon, the EU’s €95.5bn flagship research and innovation programme, prime minister Rishi Sunak announced Thursday. Although the country’s participation in the programme was part of the Brexit deal, its membership had been blocked for three years following Brussels’ and London’s feud over the trade rules for Northern Ireland — the UK’s only land border with an EU member state, the Republic of Ireland. But the issue’s resolution in February has now opened the way for the UK’s re-entry into Horizon, which was confirmed on Wednesday, September 6, during a call between Sunak…
