Douglas L. Dorset. Douglas (Doug) L. Dorset (August 29, 1942 – December 8, 2016) was an American crystallographer who, along with Jerome Karle, pioneered the field of electron crystallography.

Dorset studied chemistry at Juniata College in Pennsylvania, and obtained his Ph.D. at University of Maryland, Baltimore in biophysics under Albert Hybl in 1973. He worked at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and at Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute. In 2000, he moved to ExxonMobil, where he investigated the structure of wax crystals and how these change in the presence of modifiers.

Dorset received the A. L. Patterson Award from the American Crystallographic Association in 2002.

Arsendescloizite. Arsendescloizite is a lead-zinc mineral, approved by the IMA in 1982. It is an arsenate analog of descloizite. Its first description was published in 1982.

Properties
Arsendescloizite belongs to the adelite-descloizite group. It is the arsenate analog of the lead-zinc vanadate mineral descloizite. It grows crystals that are platy to wedge-shaped. Its composition consists of lead (48.35%), oxygen (18.67%), arsenic (17.48%), zinc (18.99%), and contains a negligible amount of hydrogen (0.24%). Crystals are tabular on {001}. These tabular crystals tend to intergrow into rose-like shaped aggregates. Observed forms are {001}, {011}, {101} and {111}. Unlike descloizite, arsendescloizite has no trace of vanadium in its composition whatsoever, thus it became quickly obvious that the mineral was from a new species. From the composition alone, this mineral could have also been the lead analog of austinite or the zinc analog of duftite. The specimen Pete and Paul were studying was found on a matrix of a copper ore that mainly consisted of tennantite. When studying the specimen, they found no trace of calcium or copper in its formula. This was weird due to the fact that it occurs with the calcium-rich mimetite and was found on a copper ore.

Occurrence
Arsendescloizite's type locality is at the Tsumeb mine, Namibia. It has been reported subsequently from Cumbria, England. Arsendescloizite is also found in Durango, Mexico. Arsendescloizite occurs in oxidized hydrothermal polymetallic deposits as a secondary mineral. It is associated with chalcocite, quartz, mimetite, goethite and willemite. It comes in a sequence of these minerals, arsendescloizite being between mimetite and goethite.

Electric Railway Journal. Electric Railway Journal was an American magazine primarily about electric urban rail transit in North America, published by McGraw Hill from June 1908 until December 1931. It was founded when publications Street Railway Journal (first published November 1884) and Electric Railway Review (first published January 1891) merged. Initially published weekly, it became monthly in April 1929 until ceasing in December 1931.

Estrel Tower. The Estrel Tower is a 176 m tall skyscraper under construction in the Neukölln district of Berlin, Germany. After its completion in 2025 the building will become Berlin's tallest building and Germany's tallest hotel.

History 
In 2013 the Estrel Hotel started a competition for the realization of a high-rise next to the existing hotel building located on the Sonnenallee. The competition was won by Barkow Leibinger (founded by Frank Barkow and Regine Leibinger) who proposed a series of triangulated volumes resembling the game of Tangram in response to the existing hotel building and the low-rise surrounding neighbourhoods. The proposal included a skyscraper with a sloped silhouette and a roof terrace oriented to the city.

In December 2017 the borough assembly of Neukölln gave its permission for the project. Ekkehard Streletzki, the owner of the Estrel Hotel, adjusted the plans for the exclusive usage as a hotel building during the COVID-19 pandemic to a mixed usage with 525 hotel rooms and  of office space. 

The construction started in November 2021. The project aims to earn a LEED Platinum certification.

Szenicsite. Szenicsite is a copper hydroxy molybdate mineral, named after husband and wife Terry and Marissa Szenics, American mineral collectors who found the first specimens. When it was first discovered in Atacama, Chile, it was thought to be lindgrenite.  The occurrence appeared in an isolated area, which was about one cubic meter in size. The mineral occurred in cavities of copper bearing powellite and matrix rich molybdenite. These cavities were filled with a material resembling clay. Outside of the zone the szenicsite crystals grew, copper levels seemed to decrease, and the mineralization changed to lindgrenite. Moving further from the zone, the minerals growing seemed to be lacking copper, and consisted of powellite blebs in the ore. Szenicsite was approved by the IMA in 1993.

Properties 
Szenicsite is a dimorph of markascherite. This mineral is pleochroic, which is an optical phenomenon, meaning that depending on the axis it is being inspected on, it changes colors. When viewed on the X axis, the mineral can be seen as yellow-green, while if inspected on the Y and Z axes, it appears green. Szenicsite consists of copper (45.54%), oxygen (22.92%), molybdenum (22.92%), and further has a negligible, 0.96% hydrogen in its composition. This mineral grows bladed radial crystals. These crystals are thin and lath-like, and form aggregates. They grow from a central point, without creating stellar shapes. Szenicsite does not show any radioactive properties. During an experiment carried out by four Russian mineralogists, it was found out that when heated up to above 350°C, szenicsite decomposes to cupromolybdite and tenorite according to the reaction: 2Cu3(MoO4)(OH)4 → Cu3O(MoO4)2 + 3CuO + 2H2↑.

Occurrences and localities 
Szenicsite is an uncommon secondary mineral that grows in the oxidized zone. Szenicsite is a type locality at the Jardinera No. 1 Mine, at Chile. By error, the type locality was previously given as "Tierra Amarilla". The mineral is associated with baryte, brochantite, chalcocite, chalcopyrite, chrysocolla, gold, hematite, lindgrenite, molybdenite, powellite and quartz.

Aevex Phoenix Ghost. The Aevex Phoenix Ghost is a family of aerial loitering munitions (explosive drones) designed by American company Aevex Aerospace. According to a senior US defense official, initial versions were broadly similar to the AeroVironment Switchblade, but later designs were larger and more capable.

Capabilities 
The Phoenix Ghost's primary purpose is to deliver an explosive munition to a human-selected target. The drone can loiter over an area for up to six hours, and can conduct surveillance. It is effective against medium-armored ground targets. It has infrared sensors for night operations.

In October 2024, Aevex revealed that Phoenix Ghost wasn't a single drone, but an effort that produced several designs of different sizes and configurations. Examples include:
Atlas, a Group 2 drone weighing  including an  payload with endurance of 1-2 hours and range of 74 mi (120 km).
Disruptor, a Group 3 drone with a v-tail  in length weighing  or more with a  payload, endurance of 4.5 hours and range of 372 mi (598 km), launched pneumatically or through RATO.
Dominator, a Group 3 drone similar in size and launching method to Disruptor but in a twin-boom configuration, weighing  or more and having endurance of 4.6 hours and range of 293 mi (492 km).

History 
In April 2022, the United States Department of Defense stated that the Ghost was developed before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and that it was a "close match" for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the battle of Donbas. It was later revealed that the Phoenix Ghost was a project under the Big Safari weapons program.

After initially sending 120 in April, it was announced in July 2022 that another 580 Phoenix Ghosts would be delivered beginning the next month as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI). The Phoenix Ghost weapons were provideUS d via a procurement, unlike the other weapons the US provided to Ukraine in the early months following the invasion. A U.S. aid package announced in November 2022 included more than 1,100 Phoenix Ghosts.

At the height of deliveries, Aevex was shipping 230 loitering munitions to Ukraine each month. By December 2024, the company had delivered 5,000 drones to Ukraine.
