In partnership with Nature Publishing Group, the Queensland Brain Institute is launching an open access journal dedicated to the science of learning – npj Science of Learning. We want to create a forum through which neuroscientists, psychologists and educators interact to produce a deeper understanding of how we learn. Just as important as this interdisciplinary approach is the open access model we are adopting. Education affects us all, and we want the findings, discussions and debates within the journal to be accessible to everybody, academic or not. Read more

The UK alone invested £270 million in the National Quantum Technologies Programme, an ambitious endeavour involving a national network of universities and companies, to explore the properties of quantum mechanics and how they can be harnessed for use in technology. It looks like we are not far from a second quantum revolution; exploiting the laws of quantum mechanics for unprecedented innovations may become reality in the not-so-distant future and it may soon be time for large-scale investment in quantum technology start-ups with global reach.
