英国削减了30%的物理学/天文学资金,退出LHC升级,转向人工智能和量子技术, 担心长期创新损失. UK cuts 30% of physics/astronomy funding, exits LHC upgrade, shifting to AI and quantum amid fears of long-term innovation loss.

英国将削减其粒子物理学和天文学资金的30%, 退出对大强子碰撞器的主要升级,作为向人工智能和量子计算应用研究转变的一部分. The UK is cutting 30% of its particle physics and astronomy funding, pulling out of a key upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider, as part of a shift toward applied research in AI and quantum computing. 科学家警告说,由于UKRI的新资助体系将政府目标放在好奇心驱动科学之上, 这一举措可能会导致长期创新和人才流失, 尽管官员们称其存在财政限制. Scientists warn the move, driven by a new UKRI funding system prioritizing government goals over curiosity-driven science, risks long-term innovation and talent loss, despite officials citing financial constraints.
