Britain's energy intensive businesses are being battered by energy prices. Our factories and data centres have 50% higher prices than French and German factories, and 3-4x higher than Norway and Sweden. But it doesn't have to be this way 👇

LISA moves forward! 〰️ Today, at the #ParisAirShow, ESA and OHB System AG have sealed their agreement to build ESA's Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. The triple-spacecraft mission will be the first space-based observatory to study gravitational waves 👉

As the first space mission designed to capture gravitational waves, LISA will open a brand-new window on the dark Universe and test the known laws of physics to their extreme,” declared Prof. Carole Mundell @cmundell.bsky.social , ESA’s Director of Science. 2/
