World’s first 20-ton twin-sonar drone transforms oceans into submarine hunting zone
The vessel from SonarTech, dubbed ASW-USV or ASW-KUSV, is a 19 ft long, 2-ton-class platform composed of non-magnetic, fiber-reinforced polymer.
China develops world's first nuclear warhead detector to identify decoys
To test and train the AI system, researchers first required access to highly sensitive nuclear data, including details about real warheads.
Smart rifle scopes let US soldiers automatically shoot down enemy drones
The SMASH 2000L from Smart Shooter reportedly transforms a standard rifle into a high-precision anti-drone platform.
Tiny robot tools powered by magnets could one day do brain surgery without cutting open the skull
Most brain surgery requires doctors to remove part of the skull to access hard-to-reach areas or tumors. But perhaps not for much longer.
Finding the hydrogen vault in Earth’s crust
Essential factors are identified for developing an exploration strategy aimed at locating subterranean hydrogen systems.
Modular refineries: Agile infrastructure for an uncertain oil and gas future
Modular refineries offer a repeatable playbook: buy only the capacity needed, install it where the molecules are stranded, and keep upgrading as policy and product slates evolve.
