The quantum promise Quantum technologies offer revolutionary approaches to computing, sensing and communications. But among the excitement and promise what can we expect?

CSIRO's Chris Vale explores Australia's position in current and future quantum advances and the economic and strategic potential from quantum computing, cybersecurity and precision sensing. ⚛️

5B’s Maverick is a prefabricated, pre-wired, accordion-like 90 module, 50kW unit unfolded on site using a forklift.

This makes it easy, cheap and quick to install – 10x faster than a run-of-the mill large-scale solar farm, & ideal for off-grid projects like mines.

Can quantum physics make the internet more secure? Jacq Romero (Uni of Queensland) is conducting experiments with photons to investigate quantum entanglement, helping to develop the quantum internet, which will be very different from the internet today ⚛️🧪

Although…

Is this the first hint of Planet Nine? The solar system consists of our star, the sun, and everything bound to it by gravity: the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, along with dwarf planets like Plut...

A possible trace of Planet X found in two sets of data 20-odd years apart. That’s pretty exciting. ⚛️

I love an old map! These beautiful 1859 geological charts (4yrs prior to the Waikato Invasion) show placenames in use at the time, like Whaingaroa (renamed Raglan soon after) and Kirikiriroa (renamed Hamilton 5yrs later), and over in the EBOP Putauaki ("Mt Edgecumbe" in brackets)
