Canadian scientists attempt to build quantum radar that can detect stealth aircraft
Canadian researchers are working on an experimental “quantum radar” that can spot the increasingly numerous stealth aircraft deployed by hostile nations. A Live Science article stated that the new radar will use quantum-entangled photons instead of radio waves. The Canadian arctic is not a good workplace for radar. It holds the Earth’s magnetic north pole, […]

Ex-Google CEO is concerned Russia and China will “conquer the world” with AI in commercial and military operations
There are many legitimate reasons to be wary about the upcoming Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution. AI and automation technology threaten to ruin society in a number of different ways, one of which is by taking away jobs that are currently being done by human workers. But — and rather ironically — that’s just if you […]

Israeli company unveils AI-controlled turret machine gun that rides on top of military vehicles, can kill all targets in 360-degree radius
As more and more countries around the world start to introduce UAVs, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, onto the battlefield, the development of technology that can effectively counter those UAVs is becoming increasingly important. Due to the fact that drones do not require an onboard pilot and can often be equipped with guns or even missiles, […]

Playing nice keeps us all safer: By working together, Russia, China and the U.S. could thwart hypersonic missile development globally, reducing risk of war
A new report issued by Santa Monica, California-based nonprofit global policy think tank RAND Corp. suggested that despite their differences, Russia, China, and the United States should band together to get rid of an impending security threat – the emergence of hypersonic missiles across the three powerful nations. Hypersonic missiles, which include both hypersonic cruise […]

The race for next-gen microchips is on: The AI revolution can’t happen without them
The inevitable artificial intelligence (AI) revolution currently faces big hurdles as today’s microchip capacity has apparently reached its limits. Experts say that while the use of transistors and microchips have allowed people to calculate even the largest of numbers, the way that the brain operates using visual cues and processing these data is way more complex than calculations […]

Chinese researchers have had a breakthrough in spy-proof communications
According to a recent report, a group of Chinese researchers has allegedly finished “the first long-distance quantum secure direct communication.” This could significantly advance the technology that allows the sending of messages that are totally “safe from eavesdropping.” In a paper published on Oct. 22, the team of researchers wrote that the information traveled 2.7 kilometers […]

Putin is concerned there will soon be genetically modified superhuman soldiers; calling on world leaders to agree to limitations and regulations
There is no shortage of legitimate and very serious criticisms one could lodge against Russian President Vladimir Putin, but his concerns about matters like GMOs, artificial intelligence and genetic engineering are surprisingly on point. Speaking at a youth festival in Sochi recently, he mentioned the very real possibility of an army of trained killers being […]

China has developed a magnetic propulsion drive for use on nuclear submarines, making them almost silent
The China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) has recently unveiled and tested a new magnetic propulsion motor that may put China at par with the U.S. and other Western naval forces. According to reports, the new technology is the country’s first permanent system of its kind and may enable nuclear submarines to move about with better speed and increased stealth. Reports have indicated that the […]
