The New Gold Rush: Inside the Global Race to Build Humanoid Robots
For much of the last century, humanoid robots belonged firmly to the realm of science fiction—icons like the ever-polite C-3PO or the menacing T-800 shaped our imagination more than reality ever could. Yet today, the line between fiction and reality is dissolving at remarkable speed. Humanoid robots are no longer cinematic fantasies but emerging contenders…

Taking Flight with Hybrid Power: The Next Era of Efficient and Sustainable Aviation
The aviation industry stands on the cusp of a propulsion revolution. As pressure mounts to reduce emissions and noise, hybrid-electric propulsion (HEP) has emerged as a near-term technology capable of making commercial and military aircraft cleaner, quieter, and more efficient. By combining the high power density of traditional jet fuel with the efficiency of electric…
STRATEGIC SUB-MAGAZINES
Modern military power emerges from the interaction of platforms, people, doctrine, and integration across domains. The Defense & Military Systems magazine is structured into focused sub-magazines that examine how combat capability is built, sustained, and employed across air, land, sea, weapons, and human systems.
Cyber & Information Warfare
Industrial outcomes are shaped as much by incentives, policy, and market structure as by engineering. Price signals, investment cycles, and regulatory frameworks quietly determine which technologies scale, stagnate, or fail.
This sub-magazine examines how markets behave under strategic pressure—where capital flows, how demand signals distort decisions, and why some industries adapt faster than others.
