The pursuit of commercially viable nuclear fusion has long been described as one of humanity's greatest scientific and engineering challenges. Fusion promises abundant, low-carbon energy by replicating the same process that powers the Sun, yet one critical obstacle has consistently limited progress: producing enough tritium fuel to sustain continuous fusion reactions. Recent advances in hybrid computing have opened a promising new chapter. By combining quantum computing, artificial...

The history of the modern internet is inseparable from the work of a small group of pioneering computer scientists who transformed theoretical networking concepts into a global communications infrastructure. Among those visionaries, Vinton Gray Cerf occupies a unique position. Widely recognized as one of the "Fathers of the Internet," Cerf helped create the foundational communication protocols that enabled billions of devices to connect across the world. After serving for more than twenty...

China’s plan to invest approximately 2 trillion yuan, or $295 billion, over the next five years into a nationwide AI data center network represents one of the most ambitious state-backed computing expansions ever proposed. The initiative is not a standalone infrastructure upgrade. It is a coordinated national strategy aimed at reshaping the country’s digital backbone, accelerating artificial intelligence deployment, and reducing dependency on foreign semiconductor ecosystems. According to...
