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.  <a

you heard about beautiful experiments with light featured in our poll from the turn of the century. This week, we will talk about the time until the 1950s. And, while so many turning points in politics and history fall into that period, advances in optics and photonics were a bit betwixt and between. Scientists were modernizing their methods and instruments but still didn’t have modern-day tools like the laser, which in the 1960s would completely transform light-related research.  <a

experiments in our poll we will stick to the 19th century. Our first entry is from 1839, when Alexandre Edmond Becquerel invented the photovoltaic cell at the tender age of 19. While playing around in his father’s lab, Becquerel created an electrolytic cell from silver chloride in acid. After connecting it to platinum electrodes, he found that exposing it to light generated an electrical current. Currently, photovoltaics is one of the most active themes in materials research, as it may be key in our challenge to produce enough clean energy for the world for generations ahead.  <a

In our daily lives we encounter a multitude of light-based technologies from basic lighting, optical fibre communication, television and computer screens, to diagnostic techniques in healthcare. Sunlight energy harvesting will almost certainly be essential to match the world’s growing energy needs. The International Year of Light 2015, which is celebrating these achievements, and more, is now in full swing.  <a
