France and Germany join U.S.-led space defense coalition
France and Germany are joining the coalition at a time of heightened tension in space, with both China and Russia demonstrating their ability to disrupt or destroy satellites. Operation Olympic Defender aims to deter such actions through collective defense, shared intelligence, and the promotion of international norms for responsible space activity.
Germany’s official entry into Operation Olympic Defender was marked by a formal ceremony in Berlin, where Whiting joined Lt. Gen. Gunter Schneider, director-general for military strategy and operations at the German Ministry of Defence, and representatives from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
“Space is truly a team sport. The addition of Germany to our roster of growing like-minded partners contributes to our collective ability to address the growing threats in the domain,” said Whiting.
Dr. Jay Hooper — Chief, Molecular Virology, USAMRIID — Countermeasures For Exotic Viral Diseases
Medical Countermeasures For Exotic Viral Diseases — Dr. Jay Hooper, Ph.D. — Chief, Molecular Virology Branch, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases — USAMRIID.
Dr. Jay Hooper, Ph.D is Chief, Molecular Virology Branch, at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID — https://usamriid.health.mil/) where his research is aimed at the discovery and development of medical countermeasures targeting exotic viral diseases of military importance including hemorrhagic fever caused by hantaviruses, arenaviruses, filoviruses (e.g., Ebola virus), and diseases caused by poxviruses (e.g., smallpox and monkeypox).
Dr. Hooper’s discoveries include one of the world’s most potent monoclonal antibodies targeting smallpox (7D11), and the first practical lethal disease animal model for a hantavirus (Andes virus in Syrian hamsters).
Dr. Hooper is an expert in DNA vaccine technology and the use of this technology to develop both active vaccines and passive (antibody-based) medical countermeasures, and is the lead scientist in an effort that has resulted in multiple hantavirus DNA vaccines moving into Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials.
To expedite medical countermeasure research, Dr. Hooper’s group established a pseudovirion neutralization assay capability which has been used to support the rapid development of candidate antibody-based products and vaccines, including candidate Ebola virus vaccines.
US military’s robot dogs with rifles can detect aerial threats at night
Lone Wolf rifle, with infrared and thermal vision, detects aerial threats using cutting-edge targeting tech.
Possibly equipped with an AR-15/M16-pattern rifle, the robot dog appears to be a Ghost Robotics Vision 60 quadrupedal-unmanned ground vehicle (Q-UGV).
The testing was conducted at Red Sands Integrated Experimentation Center in Saudi Arabia.
The Q-UGV engaged several static ground targets during the trials, but results of the tests weren’t revealed, according to reports.
Zirconium metals under extreme conditions found to deform in surprisingly complex ways
Materials are crucial to modern technology, especially those used in extreme environments like nuclear energy systems and military applications. These materials need to withstand intense pressure, temperature and corrosion. Understanding their lattice-level behavior under such conditions is essential for developing next-generation materials that are more resilient, cheaper, lighter and sustainable.

Declassified Nuclear Tests — Enhanced with AI — Slow Motion
The following declassified nuclear test footage has been enhanced using AI with techniques such as slow motion, frame interpolation, upscaling, and colorization. This helps improve the clarity and visual quality of the original recordings, which were often degraded or limited by the technology of the time. Experiencing these shots with enhanced detail brings the devastating power of atomic weapons into focus and offers a clearer perspective on their catastrophic potential and impact.
