What protection against quantum attacks? Quantum computing brings new opportunities for researchers and hackers alike. How can we guard against this risk? Science.lu asked it to two SnT experts.

Why can quantum computers break encryption?

They're advancing fast, threatening bank accounts, messages & medical data.

SnT researchers with LuxTrust test post-quantum cryptography, encryption that survives quantum threats. Jan Oupický builds future-proof upgrades.

“Chasing perfection can be blinding. Real progress comes from listening, and acting on feedback”

Ali Tourani at SnT teaches robots to see invisible instructions: codes only robots detect, no cluttered QR codes needed. He values soft skills as much as tech.

New evidence on sustainability impact perception across sectors to inform policy SnT’s research reveals unexpected insights into the perception of entrepreneurs on their biodiversity impact.

🌱 How do entrepreneurs across Europe perceive biodiversity?

Surprisingly, those in agriculture & forestry see their impact as low. But this gap may hinder progress.

SnT’s Mirko Hirschmann & team show why nature-based sectors must rethink their role to support #sustainability.
