Conferences are a fantastic opportunity for our editors to engage with the community and hear about leading research first hand.
Jonathan Tennyson – molecules on other planets
Analysing the atmospheres of exoplanets needs knowledge of the molecules they are made up of. University College London’s Professor Jonathan Tennyson is working on the ExoMol project to do just that. We talk to him about his work.
Image of the week: hybrid devices for quantum information
The authors of this week’s image find a more efficient way of analysing the properties of hybrid devices for processing quantum information.
