You know, when you have North Korea at your side, it is better to always stay on the alert. And when your country’s coastline is washed by the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea, double attention is required. You guessed it right, we’re talking about the Republic of South Korea and its Air Force (ROKAF).
Today there are two American air bases on the territory of South Korea — Osan and Kusan, which are covered by the Patriot air defense system.
The total number of ROKAF and US Air Force fighters at all South Korean air bases is about 500 combat aircraft. Most of them are the 4th generation fighters that are about to become obsolete.
But if the airspace of your country is violated by China and Russia 10–15 times a year, you can’t rely solely on your allies. The only condition for relative peace is modern fighters.

Fasting is one of those subjects that is widely talked about, in limited circles. Those who have looked cannot but be intrigued and impressed by the claims and results, whilst those who have not, think it borders on madness, and must be bad for you because…well, FOOD!!

So, for those who want a refresher on the science, through to those who have questions they have always been embarrassed to ask, and onwards to all those you want to send this link to, in an attempt to open their eyes…I did a quick guide to what we know, what are just finding out and at the end, the top questions that get asked on the topic.

3D printing is transforming everything from fashion and health care to transportation and toys. But this rapidly evolving technology, also known as additive manufacturing, can threaten national security and intellectual property rights.

To reduce illicit use of 3D printers, Zhanpeng Jin, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, is developing a way to track the origin of 3D-printed items.

His concern was that, as long as people have the digital design for an item, which can be downloaded from the internet, sometimes as open-source material, people can print out anything they want, which can range from computer parts and toys to fully functional handguns and assault rifles.

During implicit learning, the authors find that sensory representations in mouse auditory cortex evolve over time, rotating into orthogonal memory representations. This allows short-term memories to avoid interference from new sensory inputs.

Norway — There is a solution for the world’s insatiable energy needs. It is CO2-free and safe. And it’s located right under our feet.

Ever since Jules Verne wrote in 1864 about a trip to the Earth’s interior, people have dreamed of bringing up heat from the centre of the planet. So far we have only scratched the surface, but researchers are now beginning to work down into the depths.

We consider the dynamics of a charged particle (e.g., an electron) oscillating in a laser field in flat spacetime and describe it in terms of the variable mass metric. By applying Einstein’s equivalence principle, we show that, after representing the electron motion in a time-dependent manner, the variable mass metric takes the form of the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric. We quantize a pseudo-scalar field in this spacetime and derive the production rate of electrically neutral, spinless particles. We show that this approach can provide an alternative experimental method to axion searches.
