Artificial intelligence has rapidly changed the software development landscape. According to a 2024 report by McKinsey & Company and corroborated by GitHub’s latest data, nearly 25% of all code in the United States is now generated by AI tools like GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, and Amazon CodeWhisperer. While the rise of AI-assisted programming has brought…
Lockheed Martin’s revolutionary hypersonic aircraft project, the SR-72 “Darkstar”, has once again ignited global interest following reports that it could become the fastest aircraft ever built — capable of reaching speeds up to 4,000 mph (Mach 6). Designed as the successor to the legendary SR-71 Blackbird, the SR-72 blends stealth technology, scramjet propulsion, and artificial…
In a major breakthrough in missile technology, Chinese researchers have reportedly developed a hypersonic missile with a stainless steel nose cone—a feat previously considered nearly impossible due to the metal’s relatively low melting point. The development was disclosed by the South China Morning Post (SCMP), which cited a study from the Beijing Institute of Technology….
In an unannounced series of sorties that took place between 28 May and 3 June 2025—and again in mid‑June—Swedish aerospace firm Saab and German defense‑AI specialist Helsing let an artificial‑intelligence “pilot” named Centaur fly and fight a frontline‑standard Gripen E fighter jet in unrestricted Baltic‑Sea airspace. The trials mark the first time a production‑class combat aircraft has executed full‑spectrum…
When a nuclear weapon detonates, the physics is brutally simple and unforgiving. Within microseconds, a blinding sphere of plasma hotter than the solar surface billows outward. For anyone standing within roughly a kilometre of that fireball, death is instantaneous. The combined punch of thermal radiation and an over‑pressure shock wave reaches the body far faster…
A new study suggests that the Moon could be hiding a treasure trove of platinum group metals (PGMs) worth over a trillion dollars, raising hopes for future space-based mining ventures. According to the research led by independent scientist Jayanth Chennamangalam, based in Vancouver, Canada, asteroid impacts on the lunar surface may have delivered commercially significant…
Beijing, June 9, 2025 — China’s Beihang University, under the leadership of Professor Li Hongge, has officially commenced mass production of the world’s first “non‑binary” AI chip, using what’s being called Hybrid Stochastic Number (HSN) architecture. The chip combines traditional binary computing with probabilistic, or stochastic, logic—marking a significant departure from conventional chip design 9meters.com….
NASA has confirmed that heightened solar activity from the Sun’s ongoing solar maximum is directly causing SpaceX’s Starlink satellites to fall back to Earth more rapidly than expected. The rapid de-orbiting is attributed to intensified geomagnetic storms that heat and expand Earth’s upper atmosphere, thus increasing drag on satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The…
In a significant development for quantum communication security, quantum researcher Alexander Miller has identified a critical timing flaw in China’s Micius quantum satellite. This flaw could potentially allow attackers to exploit side-channel vulnerabilities, undermining the security of encrypted data transmitted via the satellite. Micius, launched in 2016, is the world’s first quantum communication satellite and…
In a groundbreaking advancement for global data transmission, Japanese researchers have achieved a world record internet speed of 402 terabits per second (Tbps) over a distance of 50 kilometers using commercially available optical fiber. This feat, accomplished by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in collaboration with international partners, was presented at…
