Quantum Optics of Light and Matter: Honouring Alain Aspect, a special issue in celebration of Professor Alain Aspect, is now complete. Find out more about this very special issue in the EPJ D Highlight – “Alain Aspect: The physicist who made entanglement an experimental reality.”

EPJ E - Soft Matter and Biological Physics

With artificial intelligence very much the subject du jour, you may like to take a look at the EPJ E Highlight – “Machine learning could help kites and gliders to harvest wind energy”. “Using trial-and-error, machine learning algorithms could enable flying wind harvesters to dynamically adjust their orientations, allowing them to account for unpredictable turbulence and improve their performances.”

Until next time, we send our best wishes,
