the nano world is really, really bizarre. when matter is reduced to its smallest dimensions, it s made up of quantum dots nanoparticles so tiny that their size determines their properties. alexey ekimov, moungi bawendi and louis brus discovered and developed this artificially created collection of semiconducting nanoparticles. they are just a few millionths of a millimetre wide and glow blue, red or green when exposed to light. quantum dots already have commercial and scientific uses and, infuture, could contribute to flexible electronics, thinner solar cells and encrypted quantum communication. so, moungi bawendi, erm, i don t know, viewers may be watching this programme on qled tv one of the things that have arisen from the work that you ve done so just tell us about how your work collectively can be used to improve lives. so, qleds is one of the biggest moneymaking applications of quantum dots but the field, in the last few decades, has grown enormously and there s a

On wednesday, President Biden called for an end to the polarized atmosphere in congress. More than anything we need to change the poisonous atmosphere in washington. We have strong agreements but we need to stop seeing each other as enemies. We need to talk to one another, listen to one another and work with one another and we can do that. Ijoined the minority leaderjeffries in saying that our republican colleagues remain committed to working in a bipartisan fashion and we are prepared to do it as well for the good of the American People.

I am ending this long running saga. I am cancelling the rest of the h52 project. And in its place. And in its place, we will reinvest every single penny, £36 billion, in hundreds of new Transport Projects in the north and the midlands, across the country. This means £36 billion of investment in the projects that will make a real difference across our nation. Applause ijust want to remind you exactly what hs2 actually is. Its a High Speed Railway which is what the Hs Stands For and it was touted as the uks biggest infrastructure project, aiming to transform public transport between london, the midlands and the north. The first part, between west london and birmingham, is already under construction and will be completed. But the length stretching further north from birmingham to manchester has now been officially scrapped. A separate leg from nottingham to leeds had already been canned. The last official estimate on hs2 costs, excluding the cancelled section, added up to about £71 bil
