A groundbreaking study reveals that Alpha Centauri’s particles are already making their way into our solar system, traveling across the cosmic highway that connects star systems. These particles, ejected from the nearest stellar neighbor to Earth, could be carrying valuable insights about distant worlds and the forces that shape our galaxy.
A new way of creating hydrogen, which eliminates direct CO2 emissions at source, has been developed by an international team of scientists.
The process reacts hydrogen-rich and sustainably sourced bioethanol taken from agricultural waste with water at just 270°C using a new bimetallic catalyst. Unlike traditional methods, which operate between 400°C and 600°C, are energy-intensive and generate large amounts of CO2, the catalyst shifts the chemical reaction to create hydrogen without releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
Instead, the process co-produces high-value acetic acid, an organic liquid used in food preservation, household cleaning products, manufacturing and medicine, and has an annual global consumption exceeding 15 million tons.
Pandora will lift off atop a Falcon 9 rocket no earlier than this fall, according to NASA officials.
Pandora will head to low Earth orbit. Once there, the satellite will observe at least 20 known transiting exoplanets — worlds that cross the face of their parent star from the telescope’s perspective. It will observe these planets 10 separate times, staring at them for 24 hours on each occasion.

With each video, we aim to inform, inspire, and ignite a conversation to ensure we’re all ready for the world that’s unfolding.
In this video, we delve into The Future of Electronic Warfare, exploring how advancements in AI, drone swarms, and cyber integration are reshaping military strategies. Historically, electronic warfare (EW) began with basic communication interception in World War I and evolved through World War II with techniques like radar jamming. Today, we stand at the brink of a new era where technology significantly enhances operational capabilities.
The Evolution of Drone Swarms.
Recent developments have seen the emergence of AI-powered drone swarms, which offer unprecedented adaptability and efficiency on the battlefield. For instance, Thales’s COHESION demonstrator showcases how these swarms can operate autonomously, reducing the cognitive load on human operators while maintaining control during critical mission phases. Unlike traditional systems that require one operator per drone, these advanced systems leverage AI to allow multiple drones to work collaboratively, enhancing surveillance and attack capabilities across vast terrains.
Breyt Coakley, Principal Investigator at Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. discusses Cognitive Software Algorithms Techniques for Electronic Warfare. Helios is developing machine learning algorithms to detect agile emitters, not yet in Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) databases, without fragmentation. Traditional deinterleaving fragments these emitters into multiple unknown emitters, or even worse misidentifies them as matching multiple incorrect SIGINT database entries.
In this episode, we dive into the alarming concept of cognitive warfare—a new form of conflict where technology targets our minds to influence, control, and even manipulate our thoughts and emotions. Could governments and tech giants use these advanced tools to control how we think and feel? From artificial intelligence to neuromarketing, explore how cognitive warfare tactics are evolving and what they mean for personal freedom and mental autonomy in the digital age.
Join us as we uncover:
What cognitive warfare is and how it works. How tech companies and governments could potentially shape public opinion. The subtle ways AI-driven influence shapes our beliefs. Potential risks to mental freedom and democracy if cognitive warfare becomes widespread. If you’re concerned about AI manipulation, mind control technology, or the future of mental freedom, don’t miss this eye-opening video.

Building on experience from the seminar “Trends in Social Media and Their Further Development ” that was held in 2017, in 2018 we discussed emerging challenges and opportunities for strategic communications in social media. Experts speaking at this seminar came from the private sector, academia, media, military and government institutions.
