New Orleans Cops Published Policy Document Allowing Weaponized Drones | Cops and drone companies seem increasingly eager to put weapons on their drones.

Australia has no shortage of world-class medical researchers. What it has traditionally lacked is a seamless pathway to transform clever science into commercial medicines without sending promising discoveries offshore. That is the gap Syngenis Labs is now aiming to close. The Perth-based biotech has completed an oversubscribed $4 million pre-float capital raising that will fast-track…

Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney have demonstrated a new way to control tiny sources of quantum light by twisting atomically thin layers of hexagonal boron nitride. The advance provides scientists with a new method for tuning quantum emitters, which are microscopic light sources that could play an important role in future technologies such…

SpaceX’s next Starship test flight aims to achieve a major milestone by deploying 20 upgraded Starlink satellites, marking the first Starlink Version 3s to deploy in space.. Liftoff for the spacecraft’s upcoming 13th test flight is scheduled for Wednesday, July 16, at 6:45 p.m. EDT (2245 GMT) from the company’s Starbase facility in South Texas….

Somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy is an old star that has lost one of its comets. By some quirk of orbital mechanics, that frozen nucleus of ice and dust got kicked out of its home system and into a long and winding trajectory across interstellar. It entered our Solar System sometime in the distant…

Materials in a quantum state come with exotic properties that bend the laws of physics and offer huge potential to scientists – but they’re usually also incredibly delicate, and require ultra-low temperatures to exist and function. That presents a problem when it comes to making the most of these materials and their characteristics: they need…
