The human brain is remarkably good at storing and processing information. While our knowledge of how the brain works is by no means complete, scientists and engineers are developing computing technologies that mimic how neurons operate in the brain. This is not just about building faster computers; the brain is also very energy efficient and early indications are that neuromorphic systems could deliver improved energy efficiency.

Hydrogen, the simplest atom, is a basic building block of the universe. We know that it existed soon after the universe was born and that it still appears as a large part of the interstellar medium in which stars form. It is also the nuclear fuel that keeps stars radiating immense amounts of energy as they evolve over eons to create the chemical elements.
