Introduction Preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons has been a major focus of international policy for over 70 years. However, a growing interest in high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), driven by billions of dollars in U.S. government funding, raises serious concerns about nuclear security. HALEU, enriched between 10% and 19.75% in …

As humanity continues to explore deeper into the cosmos, traditional chemical propulsion systems are increasingly showing their limitations. These systems, which have propelled spacecraft since the dawn of the space age, are bulky, inefficient for long-duration missions, and require vast amounts of fuel. In contrast, plasma propulsion—an advanced form of …

Introduction The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, which initially erupted in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea, has escalated dramatically since February 2022 when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Despite Russia’s significant qualitative and quantitative advantages, Ukraine’s armed forces have mounted a formidable resistance, thwarting Russia’s initial expectations of a …
