A Danish-German research collaboration, including the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, is developing new quantum light sources and technology for scalable quantum networks using the rare-earth element erbium. The project, EQUAL, is funded with 5.3 million euros and will run for five years. The goal is to create quantum light sources that can be integrated with quantum memories, which is a challenging task. The team will combine nanophotonic chips with unique technologies in materials and quantum systems to enhance the interaction between erbium and light. The project has the potential to enable unbreakable encryption and new types of computers connected through optical quantum networks.

James Gunn's Superman film is expected to be a complex and character-packed reintroduction to the Man of Steel's world. The movie features a range of characters, including Ultraman, Metamorpho, the Engineer, and Eve Teschmacher, each with their own moral gray areas and motivations. Lex Luthor remains the central antagonist, but Gunn aims to show that even he is not entirely bad. The film explores the moral complexities of its characters, with some, like Superman, being almost saintly, while others, like Lex, are more nuanced. Metamorpho, played by Anthony Carrigan, has the power to transmute his body into any natural element, including Kryptonite, which Lex wants to exploit. The Engineer, played by María Gabriela de Faría, has a strangely intimate dynamic with Lex, while Eve Teschmacher, played by Sara Sampaio, is a selfie-snapping influencer and Lex's girlfriend. The movie is set to release on July 11, 2025.
