New Delhi, India – In a significant stride toward securing the nation’s digital future, the Government of India has unveiled an ambitious national cyber defense blueprint, anchored in the capabilities of the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C). With cyberattacks becoming increasingly sophisticated, frequent, and transnational, the new framework represents a …

  DARPA’s enduring legacy stems not just from its breakthrough technologies—like the Internet, GPS, and stealth aviation—but from a culture that marries autonomy, speed, and tolerance for failure. Around the world, nations are attempting to mirror that model. While some have made impressive gains, few have duplicated DARPA’s unique innovation …

Switches are fundamental building blocks of modern electronics. At their core, they are devices that control the flow of electrical current, enabling or disabling connections between components. From the simple flip of a light switch to the complex routing of signals in advanced communication systems, switches are integral to functionality, …

Revolutionizing Chip Technology Through Heterogeneous Integration The Material Synthesis Technologies for Universal and Diverse Integration Opportunities (M-STUDIO) program, launched by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), marks a bold step toward redefining semiconductor manufacturing. With traditional silicon scaling approaching its physical limits, M-STUDIO focuses on creating foundational technologies that …

The Paradigm Shift in Electronic Warfare Modern conflict is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation in the way militaries approach electronic warfare (EW). The old model—platform-centric, siloed systems—has given way to distributed, network-enabled architectures that leverage unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous swarms. This evolution is not optional; it’s a …

In the chaotic aftermath of a typhoon, earthquake, or flood, effective coordination isn’t just a logistical asset—it’s a life-saving necessity. Civil-Military Coordination (CMCoord) plays a crucial, often invisible, role in enabling this response. Traditionally, CMCoord is defined as the dialogue and interaction between civilian humanitarian actors, civil authorities, and military …

Powering the Invisible Transformation Imagine plugging in your laptop and having it fully charged before your coffee cools—or adding 200 miles of range to your electric vehicle while grabbing lunch. These futuristic scenarios are no longer fantasy, thanks to gallium nitride (GaN), a powerful material at the heart of a …

  At the cutting edge of quantum science lies a paradox. X-rays offer unmatched atomic-level resolution, yet their extreme energy and penetrative properties make them notoriously difficult to manipulate using conventional optical tools. Today, this limitation is rapidly being dismantled. With the rise of advanced quantum engineering, X-rays are no …

  Astrophysical research has brought forth a treasure trove of exoplanets, revealing a vast array of planetary sizes and compositions. However, we have yet to fully explore and understand these distant worlds, particularly their potential to host extraterrestrial life. To address this challenge, astronomers are turning to a disruptive concept …
