A video shows specific high-risk transit of a 1,000-foot supertanker through the ... Read more

A new paper provides clear, reproducible proof-of-concept for subtractive mechanosynthesis on silicon. It is not yet a complete minimal toolset”demonstration on diamond surfaces, but it validates the core principles of selective, mechanically driven atom abstraction and shows how molecular tool design can control reaction outcome. Together with the additive C₂ donation results, it represents the ... Read more

There is almost 1000 pages on the papers describing the work and plan for creating molecular manufacturing workstations. This work (primarily the 2026 CBN Nano paper and the closely related inverted-mode STM paper arXiv:2512.24431) demonstrates a substantial, practical portion of the early tool system needed for a Molecular Workstation as outlined in rep059.pdf (Molecular Workstation ...

Yesterday, using multiple one-way attack surface drones, CENTCOM forces successfully struck a submarine and ship maintenance facility in Iran. Three Corsair unmanned surface vessels hit the port at Bandar Abbas Naval Base, marking the first time American forces have employed sea drones in combat operations. Last night’s strikes degraded Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial ... Read more

SpaceX Starship Critical Path is part of an ongoing Starship series which follows SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket. Building a rocket (or launch pad) is extremely complex, so teams must constantly ... Read more

High reasoning seems to be the sweet spot of value for Anthropic Fable and OpenAI GPT 5.6. Key GTP 5.6 Sol Problems Theo Highlights That Are Similar for Anthropic Fable GPT-5.6 Sol is excellent (strong agentic coding, long-horizon tasks) but much more persistent—it keeps going instead of stopping early like GPT-5.5, leading to unpredictable and ...

SpaceX can buy the 5G celltower equipment for pennies on the dollar that they can re-activate and negotiate new leases for the celltowers so they can provide cellphone service to 80% of the population of the USA starting late in 2026 or early in 2027. In 2027, they can upgrade it and fill in the ... Read more
