"Superconductivity: the search and the scandal" - Kit Chapman, Chemistry World, 15APR2024
>In July 2023, the world became obsessed with superconductivity. Two pre-prints from a group in South Korea claimed that a copper-doped lead-apatite, dubbed LK-99 after its two proposers, Lee Sukbae and Kim Ji-Hoon, was a superconductor at room temperature and ambient pressure. The claims spread across social media, with both seasoned groups and amateur chemists trying to recreate the material. By August, a consensus was reached that LK-99 was yet another dead end, and not a superconductor at all.
>The news followed a paper in Nature that proposed another room-temperature superconductor, this time only showing its properties at intense pressures, by Ranga Dias at the University of Rochester in the US. Yet Dias’ claims have now been retracted, and his data and academic reputation have been brought into question amid allegations of research fraud and plagiarism.

Kennedy was also in conflict with the State of Israel.
Israel sought to develop nuclear weapons, but Kennedy opposed the idea.
After JFK’s assassination, President Lyndon Baines Johnson approved Israel’s pursuit of the nuclear bomb.
Another factor in all of this.

"The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) is warning that the Trump administration is undermining the integrity and independence of academic research conducted in Canada.
"Researchers working on projects funded wholly or in part by American federal agencies have been sent a lengthy questionnaire to determine how their work aligns with the Trump administration’s political agenda.
"In the questionnaire, Canadian researchers are asked to confirm that their research:
o - does not include a climate or “environmental justice” component
o - does not contain diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) elements
o - does not ascribe to “gender ideology”
o - increases American influence globally"

Lockheed Martin has developed a mock-up of the Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system based on a Peterbilt 320 truck, designed to test the Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod.
This mock-up, unofficially named "Peter Pantsir," allows for evaluating the effectiveness of guidance and attack systems by simulating real threats.
The use of such mock-ups helps configure autonomous detection algorithms, assess electronic warfare capabilities, and train pilots in controlled conditions without direct contact with operational enemy systems.
Additionally, the mock-up can be used to train OPFOR (Opposing Forces) units that simulate enemy forces during U.S. Army exercises.
This enables the creation of realistic combat scenarios using modified equipment and tactics that reflect potential threats.

WASHINGTON — The White House has directed the U.S. military to draw up options to increase the American troop presence in Panama to achieve President Donald Trump’s goal of “reclaiming” the Panama Canal, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning.
In his joint address to Congress last week, Trump said that "to further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal.” Since then, administration officials have not said what "reclaiming" means.
U.S. Southern Command is developing potential plans from partnering more closely with Panamanian security forces to the less likely option of U.S. troops’ seizing the Panama Canal by force, the officials said. Whether military force is used, the officials added, depends on how much Panamanian security forces agree to partner with the United States.
The Trump administration’s goal is to increase the U.S. military presence in Panama to diminish China’s influence there, particularly access to the canal, the officials said.

"Hudson’s Bay, a retailer with roots in Canada dating back more than 350 years, is facing liquidation after failing to secure the financing it needs to keep its stores open.
"The department store chain, which labels itself as Canada’s oldest company, fought to avoid a full shutdown in a Toronto courtroom on Monday. A lawyer for the company said the retailer’s efforts to resolve its cash crisis have “failed” and that without a workable solution for creditors and landlords, the company would be forced to fully liquidate."
