Aerospace
Seven eVTOL concepts, one inventor, just two propellers each. Bivect Air bets gyroscopic control beats a dozen rotors. Does the physics hold?
Space
Merck grew Keytruda crystals on the ISS for a decade. Uniform 39μm microgravity particles helped inform a 2025 FDA-approved injectable Keytruda.
Aerospace
EHang holds the world's only certified pilotless passenger eVTOL. We assess the EH216-S, the VT35, and whether autonomy can scale beyond China.
Lunar
With lunar cargo near $100,000/kg, every gram of regolith-made iron or silicon counts. Here's what the cathode produces, and in what order.
Finance
Our sum-of-the-parts finds $700B–$1.1T of reasonable value in SPCX. The remaining trillion rests on Starship, orbital compute, and Grok.
Photonics
One French firm makes 90%+ of photonics-grade SOI; Japan makes 91% of photoresist. Mapping the bottlenecks behind optical computing.
Batteries
Learn how Alessandro Volta’s voltaic pile worked, how it was built, and why it became the first practical chemical battery.
Deepsea
Intelligence report on lightweight hybrid attention networks for underwater acoustic target recognition: ShipsEar, DeepShip, AUKUS, Replicator.
Science
Build a working alpha radiation detector with a decapped PIN photodiode and charge-sensitive amp for under $30. Includes the paper-sheet test.
Industry
Why Fe-6.5% Si soft magnets are 3D-printed, not rolled: a rigorous review of methods, properties, markets, and supply-chain strategy.
Space
A 2026 strategic assessment of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, the BE-4 engine, the 7×2 and 9×4 configurations, and the Blue Ring orbital platform.
Lunar
Electrochemical extraction of aluminum from anorthite and lunar regolith achieves 96% oxygen yield, far exceeding hydrochloric acid leaching.
