Future technologies
Nuclear fusion, quantum computing, humanoid robots, new batteries and factory-built reactors: some technologies are currently making the leap out of the lab. These articles assess what's been achieved, who leads and which timelines are realistic.
Sodium-Ion Batteries: The Storage Revolution Made from Table Salt
What sodium-ion batteries can offer cars and grid storage, what Europe’s 3 GWh agreement actually covers, and how to compare battery costs fairly.
Nuclear Fusion: How Close Is the Lab-Grown Star, Really?
Since ignition, fusion has counted as solvable. What's been achieved physically, what's still missing, and what timeline is realistic for a fusion power plant.
Perovskite Solar Cells: Solar's Next Leap
Perovskite solar cells push module efficiency beyond silicon's limit: how tandem cells work, who's building them, and the one hurdle still unsolved.
Humanoid Robots: Why Billions Are Flowing In Now
Humanoid robots are already working inside BMW plants. What triggered the robotics boom, who's leading it – and how close the robots are to everyday life.
Quantum Computing: The Era of Logical Qubits Begins
Quantum computers were seen as hopelessly error-prone – now the curve is turning: error correction finally scales, and logical qubits grow measurably.
