The annual ranking is compiled by the FT in partnership with Statista and Sifted. It highlights 180 of the most impactful incubators and accelerators across 25 countries contributing most to the success of new companies across Europe. Hubs were evaluated on alumni feedback, recommendations from capital investors and business experts, and the commercial success of […]

On March 23, the FCC issued an update to their Covered List, a list of equipment banned from obtaining regulatory approval necessary for U.S. sale (and thus effectively a ban on sale of new devices), to include all new routers produced in foreign countries unless they are specifically given an exception by the Department of […]

The anode plane assemblies (APAs) are being produced at the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory as part of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). DUNE is a major international science project under construction in the US. It will send a beam of neutrinos 1,300 kilometres across the country in a mission to […]

Another court has ruled that copyright can’t be used to keep our laws behind a paywall. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld a lower court’s ruling that it is fair use to copy and disseminate building codes that have been incorporated into federal and state law, even though those codes are […]

Six UK space tech startups have joined the European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre UK (ESA BIC UK) to develop technologies that deliver practical benefits in space and on Earth. The programme is managed by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) in collaboration with the UK Space Agency and the University of Leicester. It […]

Time and time again, we’ve seen police surveillance suffer from ‘mission creep’—technology sold as a way to prevent heinous crimes ends up enforcing traffic violations, tracking protestors, and more. In our latest EFFector newsletter, we’re diving into this troubling pattern and sharing all the latest in the fight for privacy and free speech online. JOIN […]

The shoebox-sized sensor was developed by Spire Global Ltd in collaboration with STFC RAL Space.

Starting on 25 February 2026, UK astronomers are providing public real-time updates on changes in our Universe, from exploding stars and belching black holes to asteroids cruising through our solar system. The work is part of a multi-million-pound investment by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), part of UK Research and Innovation. It is […]

On a test track in southern Germany, engineers watch as an automated vehicle drives through simulated heavy rain. As the vehicle pushes through sheets of water and poor visibility, researchers are recreating one of the toughest sensing challenges for automated driving. “Bad weather is one of the situations the car will face, and the car […]

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Hartree Centre is working with the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO), a leading centre for optical and infrared astronomy, to deliver the ‘Intelligent Observatory’ programme. The programme is using AI and advanced digital technologies to automate and make telescopes smarter. So they can monitor themselves, process data instantly, […]
