- 1Study tracks Ukrainian researchers' mobility limits under war▼Tracking researchers in Ukraine through war and armed conflict: The limits of free scholarly mobility
Researchers with the Max Planck Society and partners are tracking how the war in Ukraine has affected Ukrainian academics, documenting displacement, disrupted careers and the breakdown of free scholarly mobility during armed conflict. The work highlights how scientists' international movement and collaboration collapse under war, raising questions about how the global research community can support scholars in conflict zones.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and the Albert Einstein Institute have shown that reinforcement learning can outperform state-of-the-art techniques for shuttling ions in trapped-ion quantum computers. The machine learning approach optimizes how ions are moved within the processor, a key bottleneck for scaling the technology. The results were published in Physical Review Research.
- 6Max Planck Institute and Rice University map 9,000 materials▼Max Planck Institute & Rice University Map 9,000 Materials For Quantum States
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute and Rice University have mapped 9,000 materials for their quantum states, creating a large-scale reference dataset for the field. The catalogue is expected to help physicists and materials scientists identify candidates for quantum technologies, though details of the methods and findings were not provided in the coverage.
