KRI Matjan Tutul. KRI Matjan Tutul was one of eight  torpedo boats operated by the Indonesian Navy, that were built in West Germany in the 1960s. Renowned for its speed and advanced torpedo systems, the vessel played a role in protecting Indonesia's waters during the Battle of Arafura Sea, one of several battles during Operation Trikora.

Design
Matjan Tutul was one of the eight fast attack craft (FAC) purchased by Indonesia from West Germany in 1960, the FACs was part of the Indonesian Navy's first generation of fast attack craft. By 1961 two of the eight FACs purchased had participated in naval combat exercises; Matjan Tutul and KRI Adjak. Matjan Tutul was manned by 39 crew members, including 4 officers, 2 cooks, 17 engine room personnel, and 18 sailors.

Matjan Tutul measured  in length with a beam of  with a displacement of  and a sleek design, Matjan Tutul embodied both power and agility. Despite its simple appearance, the ship proved formidable and swift. It was powered by four Mercedes-Benz MB51B diesel engines producing . True to its designation as a fast attack craft, it could reach speeds, propelled by four -diameter propellers, enabling the ship to sail at a maximum speed of .

Weaponry
Matjan Tutul was equipped with various weaponry including two Bofors  guns mounted on both the bow and stern, and was supposed to be equipped with four  torpedo tubes, with two mounted on each side of the vessel. However, due to the restrictions imposed on West Germany as part of their agreement with the Allies, they were prohibited from producing torpedoes. 

The Indonesian government then planned to acquire the MK 3 torpedoes from the United Kingdom. However, due to the United Kingdom's alliance with the Netherlands, which was opposed to Indonesia's independence, they refused to sell the torpedoes to Indonesia. As a result, Indonesia then ordered torpedoes from the Soviet Union. However, when Operation Trikora was declared, the weaponry had not yet arrived in Indonesia. Despite this, the Jaguar-class torpedo boats, including Matjan Tutul, were still prepared and deployed for infiltration missions.

Battle and sinking

The Battle of Arafura Sea on 15 January 1962 occurred when two Dutch destroyers, along with Neptune and Firefly aircraft, attacked the Indonesian Navy's KRI Macan Tutul, KRI Matjan Kumbang, and KRI Harimau. The Indonesian fleet, led by Commodore Yos Sudarso aboard Matjan Tutul, maneuvered to divert the enemy's attention. As a result, the Dutch forces focused their attack on Matjan Tutul. Soon after, the assault caused Matjan Tutul to sink. At least three sailors died among whom was Commodore Sudarso, while the other two Indonesian vessels managed to escape undamaged.

Leonardo Proteus. The Leonardo Proteus is an unmanned rotorcraft developed by Leonardo Helicopters for the Royal Navy. A technology demonstrator aircraft is currently being developed and manufactured at the company's site in Yeovil, England with a first flight planned for mid-2025. The design features a modular payload bay which can be interchanged to meet different mission requirements, such as at-sea replenishment and anti-submarine warfare.

Overview
In August 2013, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) placed a two-year contract with AugustaWestland (now Leonardo Helicopters) worth £2.3 million to develop its Rotary Wing Unmanned Aerial System (RWUAS) concept, which is funded through its Anti-Submarine Warfare Spearhead programme. An SW-4 Solo uncrewed rotorcraft, a derivative of the PZL SW-4 Puszczyk helicopter, was used for trials and experimentation. The MOD had previously considered the US Navy's MQ-8 Fire Scout but ruled it out as it "[did] not meet any endorsed UK capability need". A phase two contract, worth £8 million, jointly funded by Leonardo and the MOD, was signed in 2017 to continue development. A four-year contract worth £60 million was signed in July 2022 to develop a flyable three-tonne technology demonstrator, named Proteus, with the work to be carried out in Yeovil, England.

The final design of Proteus was revealed in January 2025. Its airframe is derived from the Kopter AW09 single-engine light helicopter and shares its shrouded anti-torque system and five-bladed rotor. It is designed to carry modular payloads which can be interchanged to meet different mission requirements, such as at-sea replenishment and anti-submarine warfare. It was developed through the use of a digital twin and artificial intelligence, with more than 40 components manufactured using advanced composite materials. Whilst it is being primarily developed for the Royal Navy, it will also be focused on exportability.

Combat Engineer Battalion (Norway). The Combat Engineer Battalion (Norwegian: Ingeniørbataljonen) is a combat engineering support unit of the Norwegian Army. The battalion is mostly based at Camp Camp Skjold in Troms county in Northern Norway with two additional companies stationed at Rena Military Camp in Rena, Innlandet county.

The battalion is the largest unit in the Norwegian brigade and maintains broad operational capabilities. The Combat Engineer Battalion co-operates with other units of the Norwegian Armed Forces and of NATO, providing mine clearing, bridge demolition, as well as engineering divers.

History 
The Combat Engeneer Battalion was established as a support unit in the former brigade, called Brigaden i Nord-Norge (Brig N). In its current form, it first became a separate full-scale operational battalion in 1987, when the NBC platoon in Troms Landforsvar (TLF) and the mechanical platoon in Hålogaland Engineer Battalion were merged with the brigade's Combat Engineer Company (abbr. INGKP/N). The Combat Engineer Company was established at the same time as the Brigade Nord, in 1953.

The year before the battalion was fully established, the Combat Engineer Company participated in the NATO winter exercise, called Anchor Express. On 5 March 1986, while excavating a track through a narrow valley in Vassdalen, a major avalanche struck 31 soldiers. Sixteen soldiers were killed in the accident. The avalanche came down the  tall mountain Storebalak. The avalanche hit the valley about  above the lake Hartvikvatnet.

During the rescue work after the landslide in Gjerdrum in December 2020, the battalion made significant contributions by supporting with personnel and material.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra began performing her military service with the battalion on 17 January 2024, and is set to remain part of the unit until April 2025. In September 2024, the Norwegian Royal Court announced that Ingrid Alexandra was serving as a gunner on a CV-90 infantry fighting vehicle.

Willow processor. The Willow processor is a 105-qubit superconducting quantum computing chip developed by Google Quantum AI and manufactured in Santa Barbara, California. Willow is the first chip to achieve below threshold quantum error correction.

On December 9, 2024, Google Quantum AI announced Willow in a Nature paper and company blogpost, and claiming two accomplishments: First, that Willow can reduce errors exponentially as the number of qubits is scaled, achieving below threshold quantum error correction. Second, that Willow completed a Random Circuit Sampling (RCS) benchmark task in 5 minutes that would take today's fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (1025) years.

Willow is constructed with a square grid of superconducting transmon physical qubits. Improvements over past work were attributed to improved fabrication techniques, participation ratio engineering, and circuit parameter optimization.

Willow prompted optimism in accelerating applications in pharmaceuticals, material science, logistics, drug discovery, and energy grid allocation. Popular media responses discussed its risk in breaking cryptographic systems, but a Google spokesman said that they were still at least 10 years out from breaking RSA. Hartmut Neven, founder and lead of Google Quantum AI, told the BBC that Willow would be used in practical applications, and in the announcement blogpost expressed the belief that advanced AI will benefit from quantum computing.

Willow follows the release of Foxtail in 2017, Bristlecone in 2018, and Sycamore in 2019. Willow has twice as many qubits as Sycamore and improves upon T1 coherence time from Sycamore's 20 microseconds to 100 microseconds. Willow's 105 qubits have an average connectivity of 3.47.

Google prompted controversy by claiming that the success of Willow "lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch."

Trabant X03. The Trabant X03 was a prototype developed in the late 1980s as a potential successor to the aging Trabant 601, which had been in production since 1963. This initiative emerged from a collaboration between East Germany's IFA-Kombinat and West Germany's Volkswagen AG, aiming to modernize the Trabant lineup by incorporating contemporary design and technology.

Overview
The X03 was based on the third-generation Volkswagen Polo (A03), which was under development at the time. The proposal included various body styles, such as 3- and 5-door hatchbacks, a sedan, and a station wagon, all designed to offer a more modern and versatile vehicle compared to its predecessor. Notably, the design work was led by renowned Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. The vehicle was approximately 3.80 meters long and was planned to be equipped with Volkswagen's EA 111 four-stroke engine, which had already been introduced in the Trabant 1.1.

In early 1989, the X03 prototype was presented to East German officials, with plans to commence production by 1995. The proposal included an annual production capacity of 112,000 units, with development costs estimated at 600 million marks. However, the political upheavals of 1989, leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent reunification of Germany, rendered the project obsolete. Volkswagen canceled the X03 project at the end of 1989 and instead established a joint venture that led to the production of the Volkswagen Polo in Zwickau starting in May 1990.
