PressTV... Russia and China are developing a new drone that uses a powerful projectile of a multiple launch rocket system for deployment to battlefields as far as 90 kilometers away. The reconnaissance drone, the first of its kind ever, is being developed by Russian and Chinese engineers at the Splav design bureau and production center in the western Russian city of Tula, some 400 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, RT reported Wednesday. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is capable of being delivered within a 300mm MRLS rocket. “This system makes tactical intelligence really fast, because the UAV is delivered to a desired distance – which could be up to 90km – by a ...

The growing number of scientific studies that have demonstrated consistent electromagnetic anomalies associated with virtually every major earthquake both before and after the event during the last two decades strongly indicate the use of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weaponry as the actual manmade cause of these so called natural disasters. A quote nearly two full decades ago from then US Secretary of Defense William Cohen at a counterterrorism conference back on April 28, 1997 openly revealed: Others are engaging in even an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are a lot of ...
Encrypted Communication Has Never Been Easier – Security Never More Challenging

Just over two years ago I decided to spend some time digging into an emerging class of encryption tools that were making a solid run at simplifying the notoriously cumbersome use of PGP. “So I stopped being lazy and have encryption implemented across all of my devices. Now, I have a 4096-bit RSA OpenPGP key, The Chrome extension Mailvelope is handling Gmail encryption, Thunderbird and Enigmail are configured on the Linux box, and IPGMail is setup for the same on my iPhone.” Now I wasn’t looking to implement the strongest security model. I just wanted to see how challenging it would be to implement and use reasonably safe tools across all of my devices. These tools, all of ...

UPTON, N.Y., Sept. 4 (UPI) -- The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider just spit out tiny droplets of a liquid researchers say resembles the seeds of the cosmos, a primordial goo created by the Big Bang, which existed only briefly before cooling into the matter that helped birth stars, galaxies and planets. Scientists have reported seeing the tiny liquid droplets before, but this time, researchers got a better look at the production process. What researchers are calling quark-gluon plasma, or QGP, is the product of a collision between helium-3 nuclei and gold ions. When these particles come into contact at high speeds under the right conditions -- extreme temperatures and densities, ...

ScienceAlert... Bluetooth redefines ubiquitous. It’s seemingly everywhere, and nowhere more so than in personal wearable devices such as fitness trackers, smart watches, audio headsets, earphones… you name it. But what if it’s not the best technology for the job? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego in the US have developed a prototype to show off a new wireless communication technique which they say massively outperforms existing wireless tech by using the human body itself to help send data between devices. The researchers call their new method “magnetic field human body communication”. The technique uses the body as a vehicle to deliver ...
Study: Huddling rats behave like 'super-organism'

SHEFFIELD, England, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Rodents, like penguins, huddle for warmth. And when they do -- new research shows -- the collection of bodies acts like a self-organizing "super-organism." The members of huddling mass rotate, so that outer rats are brought into the warmth of the center before rotating back out. Rotation helps to regulate the group's temperature so none of the rats become too hot or too cold. The rate of rotation varies depending on the external temperature. In modeling this behavior, researchers at the University of Sheffield, in England, showed that the huddled mass resembles the actions of a larger, centrally controlled organism -- able to change shape ...

WOODS HOLE, Mass., Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Synchronized swimming isn't limited to the Summer Games. As a new study reveals, whole colonies of of plankton synchronize their jet-propelled movements. The result is a jellyfish-like unit, moving through the ocean water in unison. Researchers at the Woods Hole Research Center say the species, Nanomia bijuga, could inspire future underwater vehicles. "This is a highly efficient system in which no developmental stage is wasted," John H. Costello, a researcher at the center's Marine Biological Laboratory, said in a press release. "It's a quite sophisticated design, for what would seem like a simple arrangement." Like an ...

ScienceAlert... Ants, why are you being so weird? And can you get that? Just take a message, it's fine. Spoiler: the ants don't pick up, but their bizarre reaction to a ringing iPhone in the video above did give us a new appreciation for how machine-like these insects can be. But why the military-precision reaction to something as innocuous as a vibrating phone? It's all to do with the invisible magnetic forces on Earth that tell dogs where to poop and ants how to find their way home, Australian entomologist Nigel Andrew from the University of New England told the press this week. Perhaps when the phone starts to ring, the radio waves it operates on messes with their sense of ...

ScienceAlert... A 39-year-old French woman named Martine Richard has won a court case that means that government will need to pay her roughly US$900 a month in disability allowance for at least three years, because of the discomfort caused by her alleged Wi-Fi allergy. Richard claims that she had to quit her job and is confined to a rural barn without electricity because she's so sensitive to electromagnetic waves. Although there are many people who have reported Wi-Fi allergy - or electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) - in the past, she's the first to be officially recognised and compensated for the condition, despite the fact that science says it doesn't exist.

RT... In September, Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will smash together sub-atomic particles at nearly the speed of light, an unprecedented experiment that has some of the leading voices in the world of science - and religion - sounding the alarm on the risks involved. CERN is perhaps most famous for its discovery in 2012 of the elusive Higgs Boson [named after British physicist Peter Higgs who predicted its existence in 1964], the so-called ‘God particle,’ which allows other particles to build up mass as they pass through the Higgs field. Today, however, CERN is more famous – or perhaps infamous is the better word - for an upcoming experiment in which ...

Oh, lunar majesty of near-earth orbit, why doth your shine provoke lack of doubt? Awake you keep the owl and wombat, all the while a secret kept, through the blackness ever soaring, only leaving in the morning (usually). Yet over time you seem to morph from something trim to a healthy girth. Early man discovered the secret and since there was no way to keep it we charted your path and labeled your phases until we sang our own self praises for locking down a piece of the skies with just our mind, our thoughts, and eyes.

ScienceAlert... Just because you’re solar-powered doesn’t mean you can’t bring the style. That’s the thinking behind the Immortus, a limited-edition bespoke solar electric sports car currently being developed in Australia. The Immortus is the brainchild of electric vehicle startup EVX, which is working on the vehicle with researchers from the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne. While at heart it’s an electric vehicle that runs on juice from your wall socket, extensive solar panelling on the Immortus’s roof is intended to give the car considerable staying power on the road. Perhaps never-ending staying power, in fact. “The ability to run on ...

CARDIFF, Wales, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- A team of international scientists, led by astronomers from Cardiff University in Wales, have unraveled the history of galaxies -- providing first direct evidence of galaxy "metamorphosis." For the study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers observed about 10,000 galaxies in the universe. The scientists classified the galaxies into the two main types: flat, rotating, disc-shaped galaxies, such as our own -- the Milky Way -- and large, spherical galaxies with hordes of disordered stars. "By observing the sky as it is today, and peering back in time using the Hubble and Herschel telescopes, the team ...

RT Material scientists have developed a solid-state electrolyte, which can greatly boost modern battery technology. It would allow batteries to endure hundreds of thousands of recharges, pack more juice and be safe from combustion. Electrolyte is one of key components of a battery, transporting charged ions from one electrode to another during charging and discharging. Modern lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolyte, but a group of scientists claim to have developed a better all-round solid-state electrolyte. The research was published in Nature Materials in a paper by MIT postdoc Yan Wang, visiting professor Gerbrand Ceder, and five others. Their invention belongs to a class of ...

Medscape... BRUSSELS (Reuters) - With street names such as Temperance and Hygiene and plenty of green open spaces, the 1920s Bon Air (Good Air) housing estate in a working-class district of Brussels was meant to provide a healthy "garden city" way of life. Now 21st-century planners are striving to turn it into a modern ideal with the kind of renovations EU policymakers sitting in their shiny offices across the city want to see throughout the European Union. Work starts in Bon Air in September to transform a prototype from damp and dingy into a light, well-ventilated and very low-energy home. It is the model for 86 social houses in Bon Air and La Roue (the Wheel), another ...
