Sweden’s been stealthily using hydrogen to forge green steel. Now it’s ready to industrialise

Technology tamfitronics Deep in Sweden’s icy north sits a small factory where the country’s largest industrial players have been steadily validating a new technology that could clean up one of the dirtiest industries on Earth.Energy giant Vattenfall, steel-maker SSAB, and mining firm LKAB built the facility — located in the small town of Luleå — in 2020, as part of the HYBRIT project. The initiative aims to prove that steel can be made on an industrial scale using hydrogen and clean electricity.“Using hydrogen to produce steel is still in its very early stages,” an SSAB representative told TNW. “It represents only a tiny fraction of today’s...

Quantum computing: the inevitable threat to information security

Technology tamfitronics In an era where technological advancements continually reshape our world, one of the most significant emerging threats is quantum computing.This powerful technology, while promising revolutionary benefits, poses a substantial risk to our current cybersecurity infrastructure. As we stand on the brink of this quantum revolution, it is imperative to understand the potential dangers and prepare accordingly.Technology tamfitronics The quantum leap Quantum computing harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations at speeds unimaginable with classical computers. In 2019, Google proclaimed to have demonstrated “quantum supremacy” when its Sycamore processor solved a problem in 200 seconds that would take the most advanced classical supercomputers...
