Today, our devices and technologies rely predominantly on electronic systems to process and transmit information. Current networks—wired, wireless, fiber optics, LTE, and 5G—fulfill our needs but face significant limitations for the future. Our current internet infrastructure, while robust, is nearing its limits. As we generate ever more data and demand …

Physicists have long sought to manipulate photons, the fundamental particles of light, into ever-smaller volumes to harness their unique properties. The natural scale of a photon is its wavelength, typically measured in nanometers. When photons are forced into cavities much smaller than their wavelength, they become significantly more “concentrated.” This …

Introduction China’s pursuit of space mining begins with its lunar exploration program, notably the successful Chang’e missions. These endeavors, involving lunar landings, sample collections, and surface mapping, form the groundwork for understanding lunar composition and potential resource extraction. Beyond exploration, China envisions a permanent lunar research base as a strategic …

The World Economic Forum (WEF), in collaboration with IBM and SandboxAQ, has taken a significant step towards a future powered by quantum technologies. They’ve released the Quantum Economy Blueprint, a comprehensive framework designed to foster the responsible development and equitable access to a global quantum economy. Here’s the report foreword …

Introduction The Israel-Hamas conflict, which has gripped the international community’s attention, is marked by chaos, unprecedented events, and a myriad of challenges. This comprehensive article combines the key elements from three distinct pieces, providing an in-depth analysis of the ongoing developments, foreign involvement, intelligence failures, counterintelligence success, and the scope …

For decades, measuring velocity has relied on external references like GPS or lasers. But what if we could ditch the external clutter and measure velocity directly through a platform’s internal forces? This is the ambitious goal of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Veloci-RapTOR program. Velocity measurement is critically …

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is renowned for its forward-thinking initiatives that drive technological innovation. One such initiative, the COmpact Front-end Filters at the ElEment-level (COFFEE) program, is a testament to DARPA’s commitment to advancing science and technology. This program seeks to revolutionize radio frequency (RF) filter technology, …
