Dr. Charles Buhler and Exodus Technologies claims that systems with electrostatic pressure differences or electrostatic divergent fields gives systems with a center of mass with non-zero force component (aka generate movement). Buhler is NASA’s subject matter expert on electrostatics. They want to move to demo the system in orbit. These kinds of claims are controversial …
Israeli drones have hit western Iran. Explosions were heard in the city of Isfahan prompting commercial flights to divert from their routes. Explosions were heard near the Iranian city of Isfahan early Friday as Israel reportedly launched a heavily anticipated reprisal strike for an Iranian attack on Israel days earlier, defying international pressure to stand …
DARPA’s Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program had the first-ever in-air tests of AI algorithms autonomously flying a fighter jet against a human-piloted fighter jet in within-visual-range combat scenarios (aka dogfighting). The General Dynamics X-62 VISTA (“Variable Stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft”) is an experimental aircraft, derived from the F-16D Fighting Falcon, which was modified as …
The direct Iranian missile attack did not do direct damage to Israel. However, it has opened the door to direct military action between Iran and Israel. Iran and Israel are 620 miles apart. Iran is almost 2.4 times the land area of Texas. It is slightly larger than the state of Alaska. Iran’s dimensions are …
There is radar tracking all of the airplane, drone and missile activity over the middle east. This is related to airplanes, drones and missiles from Iran to Israel. There is also US and Israel military plane activity. Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with 1 million readers per …
Iran claims to have launched a wave of missiles against Israel and the above is a photo taken which shows a missile flying over Iraq to Israel. There are reports on Telegram and X of a plan by Iran’s QUD (foreign militia’s in Syria, Lebanon – Hezbollah) and Iraq to attack in waves. Brian WangBrian …
Iran has launched about ten or so hundreds of drones over Iraq towards Israel. They are drones with small propeller planes. There are now more missiles. These will likely get shotdown by Israel. However, is this the start something? It is weird and there is a lot of uncertainty. This is not an actual effective …
The Unitree H1 Humanoid robot can outrun a human being. In this video we review the Unitree H1 robot and other humanoid robots and briefly consider the expected impacts on our world.

Tehran and its Lebanon-based proxy blame Israel for attack in Damascus that killed Quds force leaders. The airstrike in Syria killed Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who led the Quds force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Lebanon and Syria until 2016. It also killed Zahedi’s deputy, Gen. Mohammad Hadi Hajriahimi, and five other …
Diamond CMOS needs symmetrical doping control like we have for semiconductor silicon and diamond n-MOS is needed. The n-channel diamond MOSFETs are demonstrated. This work will enable the development of energy-efficient and high-reliability CMOS integrated circuits for high-power electronics, integrated spintronics, and extreme sensors under harsh environments. Currently, p-channel diamond MOSFETs have been extensively developed …
Millions of drones are being used in the Russian and Ukraine war. How is this changing the fighting? What will be the counter-measures? There are also millions of artillery shells being used. However, drones and artillery shells are expended every day. It is tens of thousands of each that are being used each day. Brian …
