From academia to publishing: career journeys at IOP Publishing
From academia to publishing: career journeys at IOP Publishing
A group of PhD physics students from the University of Bath recently spent a day at the IOP Publishing office in Bristol, stepping briefly beyond the world of academia to explore what might come next. They arrived not just to listen, but to understand how others had made the transition from doctoral research into careers […] The post From academia to publishing: career journeys at IOP Publishing appeared first on IOP Publishing.

Researchers have created a random-number generator that uses a Bell test to upgrade an imperfectly random input into certifiable randomness. The new generator works on a single platform without making any assumptions about the inner workings of its hardware.
Amplifying Randomness with Quantum Measurements
Researchers use a quantum Bell test to generate certifiably random numbers, key ingredients for secure network communications.

1/2 DSNP Image of the Month: June 2026! 🗓️ This month, we’re excited to feature Xinyu Wang’s recent paper, “Topological mechanical metamaterial for robust and ductile one-way fracturing.” What if cracks could travel one way, but not the other?
In this SFI Seminar, Eric Goles of the University of Adolfo Ibáñez explores fungal automata, a cellular automaton model in which information flows only horizontally or vertically. He shows that despite these constraints, it can simulate arbitrary Boolean circuits and are computationally universal.
