Britain is to rejoin the Horizon Europe science research program under a new bespoke deal, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office and the EU said on Thursday.
Horizon is a European Union scheme that funds research projects which the UK says it has been excluded from for the past three years, following Brexit.negotiated over the last six months, the Prime Minister has secured improved financial terms of association to Horizon Europe that are right for the UK," a statement said."The EU and UK are key strategic partners and allies, and today's agreement proves that point.
Under the new accord, however, the UK will not be involved with the Euratom nuclear regulator, but instead"take forward its own fusion energy strategy", Downing Street added."This is a great day for researchers in the UK and across Europe," said a joint statement by the Academy of Medical Sciences, the British Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society.
"There will be relief throughout the research community that the uncertainty of the last two-and-a-half years has come to an end," she added. The British government said that its inability to participate in science and technology programs was causing"serious damage" both in the UK and EU countries.

Atomic-scale spin-optical laser: New horizon for optoelectronic devicesResearchers at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology have developed a coherent and controllable spin-optical laser based on a single atomic layer. This discovery is enabled by coherent spin-dependent interactions between a single atomic layer and a laterally confined photonic spin lattice, the latter of which supports high-Q spin-valley states through the photonic Rashba-type spin splitting of a bound state in the continuum.
