The global energy landscape is undergoing a seismic transformation. Rising demand, the urgency of decarbonization, and the declining availability of fossil fuels have made renewable energy not only desirable but essential. Solar power, in particular, has become the frontrunner, with photovoltaics (PV) now ranking as the cheapest source of electricity …

For decades, dominance over the electromagnetic spectrum has defined superiority in defense and security. Microwave radars have enabled long-range detection, while infrared sensors have tracked heat signatures. Yet, between these two lies a little-explored region of the spectrum—the terahertz (THz) band. Occupying the frequencies between 0.3 and 3 THz, this …

The Persistent Threat of Sniper Attacks Sniper attacks remain one of the most formidable threats to public safety and military operations. A single concealed shooter, operating from a hidden position hundreds of meters away, can disrupt entire events, terrorize populations, and cause devastating losses. Unlike attackers who must confront their …
