Infineon’s €5 billion Dresden factory expands Europe’s capacity to make chips that control electricity in AI data centres, electric vehicles and energy systems. Can equipment makers turn better power conversion into products customers buy in volume?
Proxima Fusion’s €411 million round supports the development of Alpha, its planned fusion demonstrator. From testing a superconducting magnet to building a machine and eventually delivering electricity, each step changes what investors need to see and which risks they are willing to carry.
Artificial intelligence relies on mathematics, but the same calculations can be performed through different physical processes. What changes when light, rather than electronic circuits, helps process information? ‘The Age of Light’ explores how mathematics and physics together could open new possibilities for computing.
Amsterdam-based EpoQ has won PhotonDelta’s photonics contest for its plan to develop a compact atomic clock. The award provides technological services to help shrink precision timekeeping equipment for potential use in satellites, navigation and scientific instruments. A working prototype and first customers remain the next milestones.
Payment providers in the European Economic Area reported €4.2 billion in fraudulent transactions in 2024. What can those figures tell us about how customers are deceived, where the money goes and who ultimately bears the loss?
A photonic chip can pass its first test and still fail as a finished module. Drawing on PIC Summit Europe and the PHIX–SENKO collaboration, Altair Media Europe examines how fibre alignment, packaging and testing determine whether manufacturers can deliver reliable modules at scale.
When a payment is blocked or an account restricted, can a Revolut customer reach someone with the authority to reconsider the decision? This Altair Signal examines what meaningful human review requires when banking happens through an app.
SMART Photonics and GlobalFoundries plan a joint manufacturing service combining Eindhoven’s light-producing components with silicon photonics. Targeting availability in the second half of 2027, the partnership offers a potential route to international customers—with qualification, delivery conditions and commercial adoption still to follow.
Akhetonics is taking photonics inside the processor, but its first market will depend on more than optical speed. This Signal examines how memory constraints, system efficiency, adoption costs and dependable manufacturing shape the route from demonstrator to repeat orders.
Airbus, Thales Alenia Space and their partners have studied how Europe could build data centres in orbit. Turning that architecture into a commercial service requires committed customers, credible financing and an operator willing to carry the risk. Who will build the business?
