In Ukraine and the Middle East, smart weapons are degraded or neutralized. Drones and missiles are deflected or turned back on attackers. In the Baltic, South China Sea and elsewhere, denial and manipulation of satellite navigation signals has become a daily part of great power competition. These stark demonstrations of vulnerabilities have highlighted long-standing concerns about the capability of GPS and other American positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities.

"It's a giant leap forward for a concept that promises economically viable, zero-carbon heat and electricity." Fusion is a holy grail for the energy sector, theoretically offering abundant, essentially zero-pollution power in a small physical footprint, without the need to use regional natural resources. There have been many milestones as the technology advances, and a new record in magnetic containment has recently been achieved.

Chinese scientists and international partners are turning heterogeneous solid-state batteries into homogeneous ones. Their cathode tinkering could solve some performance problems that have plagued promising solid-state power-pack life cycles and other metrics, according to a lab report from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The research was completed at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology.

The first images of Northrop Grumman’s Model 437, an advanced air combat drone that could potentially fill the requirement for the Air Force’s and/or Navy’s “loyal wingman” Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) programs, as well as those of allies, have hit social media. The relatively small tactical jet looks impressive and is very much in line with the concept renderings we have seen of it, aside from one major detail — it has a cockpit.

In a breakthrough that could reshape the future of computing, researchers from Fujitsu and Osaka University have unveiled a pair of game-changing technologies designed to supercharge the march toward practical quantum computing. The innovations significantly shrink the error-prone territory that has long hampered large-scale quantum calculations, clearing a pathway to run complex quantum algorithms at speeds that leave even today's fastest classical computers in the dust – and with a fraction of the qubits once thought necessary.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
