With his team at Heriot-Watt’s Institute of Photonic and Quantum Sciences, Malik has conceived a new way to send quantum information on optical fibers – a way that helps avoid data loss and brings the concept of quantum internet one step closer to reality. The quantum internet is a theoretical model for…

In The Banshees of Inisherin, he plays Dominic Kearney, a hapless simpleton whose constant fidgeting signals unease. But the soulfulness in Keoghan’s performance ensures that he is more than the village idiot for which others take him…
