The European public–private partnership Photonics21 has released a short report highlighting the role of photonics in the development of fusion energy. Titled “Photonics for the Energy Production Market: Focus on Fusion Energy,” and assembled by the France-based, photonics-focused market-research firm Tematys, the report seeks to make the case that, whatever path the world might ultimately take toward sustainable fusion energy, photonics will be an essential technology for getting there.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Science has awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics to John Hopfield of Princeton University, USA, and Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto, Canada, for “foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” In awarding the prize to Hopfield and Hinton, the academy highlighted work from the mid-1980s that is having an almost unimaginable—and still ultimately uncertain—impact some 40 years later.

Understanding what happens in a high-velocity impact is important across a range of disciplines and scales, from meteorite strikes in planetary studies to microscopic failure assessment in materials science. But as might be expected from something as disorderly as an impulsive impact, the science of such events can also be a bit messy—with different research communities understanding the relevant phenomena in different ways.
