  UK nanotechnology specialist NextGen Nano has launched its new quantum division, aiming to develop materials for quantum applications that function under practical conditions. The division, led by scientists at North Carolina State University (NCSU), will guide the design of novel materials for emerging quantum technologies, like quantum computers and communication devices. According to Fortune Business Insights, the quantum computing market is projected to grow from $486 million in 2021 to $3.18 billion in 2028 . This growth is expected as the demand for devices that can manipulate electrical currents and optical fields to store energy, process information and communicate and transfer data increases. Matthew Stone, chairman of NextGen Nano, said: “Thanks to the team’s recent breakthrough, it might soon be possible to tailor materials to observe macroscopic quantum states at the highest possible temperatures. This new division will build on previous research success and is an op...

  The skylines of big cities like New York, London and so many others around the world have been shaped by skyscrapers. Despite their aesthetic beauty, these high-rise buildings typically draw their power from the traditional carbon fuel grid and are therefore contributing to ever-increasing carbon emissions and air pollution in major metropolises. According to the United Nations, the world’s urban population will rise from 3.6 billion to 6.3 billion between now and 2050. As more people decide to live in big cities instead of small, rural villages, skyscrapers are not only the symbol of modern cities but are a necessity in order to provide enough space for both living and business purposes. At Matthew Stone Nextgen Nano, we’re working on one solution in the shape of transparent, flexible organic solar cells based on advanced nanotechnology that will support the drive for decentralized energy generation and power consumption. OPVs have the potential to significantly improve the effi...
