Quantum Mechanics. It's been around 100 years, with special events planned to mark its centenary. How well do most of us understand the science? Confess, I don't. quantum2025.org/about/

After the King’s College choir have sung their last, the holidays can truly begin. Merry Christmas! Peace and Goodwill to you and your family.

Unpacking China and Russia's new cyber warfare strategies U.S. authorities and institutions are used to digital aggression from the likes of Russia. But China has switched gears.

Senator Grassley turns 92 next year

As befits 'His Majesty's Government', this is a fascinating look at recent correspondence with the Palace - one that still relies on language familiar to Sir Edmund Blackadder

Hi. Best known for taking credit for the good work of others. News is my thing. Sometimes heard, seldom seen.

Elvis Costello fan. So, this is where I've come to hide, in a private detective`s overcoat and dirty dead mans shoes. Looking forward to our conversations.
