    The fourth fastest supercomputer on Earth is a quantum-ready juggernaut from France
    What’s got two thumbs, can perform over 240 PFLOPS, and just gave Europe a 50/50 share of the world’s top four most powerful supercomputers? This supercomputer right here: “This supercomputer right here!” Dubbed the “Leonardo HPC System,” what you see above is the world’s fourth most powerful supercomputer and a potential quantum leap towards the creation of Europe’s first exascale computer. Leonardo is built on architecture designed and developed

    Launch of Europe’s biggest battery energy storage system is a win for renewables
    Europe’s biggest battery energy storage system has officially begun its operation in Cottingham, UK. The system — which is the largest by megawatts per hour — aims to store electricity generated from renewable sources, such as wind turbines and solar farms, before releasing it at times of high customer demand. The so-called “Pillswood project” was developed by North Yorkshire renewable power firm Harmony Energy Income Trust and uses Autobidder, Tesla’s a

    European startups are heaping praise on Matter’s ‘game-changing’ IoT standard
    Last month we shared the launch of Matter 1.0, a new smart home standard developed in collaboration within the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). They’re developing a single open-source stack that enables developers to build compatible cross-platform devices. Imagine, for example, an Amazon device that integrates with Google Home or Apple Home Kit. Since its launch, it has been well-received by hardware makers. 190 products have received certification or are queued for testing and cer
  • Blockchain development is a far better tech career than you’d think

    Blockchain development is a far better tech career than you’d think
    A decentralized, distributed ledger that tracks and stores every transaction in a verifiable way, the blockchain records transactions across multiple nodes (or computers) in such a way that the registered transaction cannot be altered retroactively. That’s a big difference between a traditional database where information is held centrally and it makes it impossible for any single person or entity to control all the nodes. For a technology that is so relatively new — it was only inve
