Gallium nitride has become an important material for high-performance radar, communications and electronic warfare systems because it can handle far more radio-frequency power than...

As organizations begin deploying teams of AI agents to handle complex tasks, cybersecurity is becoming a growing concern. In these multi-agent systems, several large...

Modern battlefields are increasingly crowded with radio-frequency signals. Drones, aircraft, ships, communications equipment and electronic warfare systems all transmit across the electromagnetic spectrum, creating...

As militaries and security organizations deploy growing numbers of drones, robots, and autonomous systems, a new challenge is emerging: each platform comes with its...

Modern military operations depend heavily on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar systems, communications networks, GPS signals and electronic warfare equipment all compete for access to...

Protecting critical systems becomes especially difficult once an attacker gets inside the device itself. Conventional cybersecurity tools can monitor network traffic, identify known vulnerabilities...

Modern armored vehicles are increasingly equipped with camouflage, thermal-management technologies and other measures intended to make them harder to identify and engage. At the...

Traditional rocket launches depend on large, permanent spaceports containing launch pads, control systems and specialized ground equipment. That infrastructure is expensive, geographically fixed and...

Modern processors routinely predict what software will do next so they can begin executing instructions before they are actually needed. This technique, known as...

AI coding agents are increasingly able to browse websites, download files, write programs and execute commands with limited human supervision. Those capabilities make them...

URL-scanning services are widely used as an early warning system against phishing and malware. Companies can automatically submit links from incoming emails to services...

Protecting digital images from manipulation has become increasingly difficult. As AI-generated content and sophisticated editing tools become more accessible, verifying whether a photo is...

Designing an efficient drone propeller involves far more than choosing the right diameter or number of blades. Small changes in blade geometry can affect...

End-to-end encryption can keep the contents of a conversation private, but it cannot protect users if an attacker manages to take over the account...

As wireless networks carry ever-growing amounts of data, communication systems face increasing pressure to transmit information faster while consuming less power and bandwidth. This...

Disposable electronics are becoming more common in areas like medical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring. However, most of these devices still rely on...

Small military drones are taking on increasingly complex missions, from reconnaissance and target tracking to autonomous navigation and coordinated swarm operations. Yet many of...

Large defense and government organizations often manage information across hundreds of disconnected sources. Reports, spreadsheets, databases, planning documents, and operational updates are typically stored...

Webcams, microphones, monitors and other computer accessories often appear to be simple peripherals, but many are effectively small computers with their own processors, memory...

Modern military operations are influenced by more than events on the physical battlefield. Social media posts, messaging platforms, videos, news reports and foreign-language sources...

Every new generation of wireless technology places greater demands on the chips inside smartphones, base stations and connected vehicles. As 5G evolves toward 6G,...

Enterprise AI assistants are increasingly connected to emails, documents, search tools and persistent memory, giving them access to information that can be far more...
