Flexible connectors enable new designer materials built from nanoparticles
Creating better-performing materials comes down to having more control over their structure at the smallest possible scale. One particularly effective way to accomplish that is using nanoparticles, which have highly customizable…

Single molecules could provide the building blocks for future quantum networksQuantum computers rely on qubits as their units of information. To connect them into a larger network across long distances, they need to transmit quantum information using light.Climate-vulnerable Africa faces significant gaps in early warning systems, leaving millions at risk from extreme weatherClimate-related events affected at least 13 million people across Africa in 2025. Over the last decade alone, extreme weather has affected populations in Africa disproportionately.
