Programmable photonics. Programmable photonics is a subfield of photonics and optical computing that studies the development of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for computation whose circuits can be altered at runtime to run different programs, rather than manufacturing each PIC for a specific program. Almost all modern electronic integrated circuits are programmable and thus programmable photonics is an important step in making optical computing mainstream; a non-programmable electronic integrated circuit (analogous to a non-programmable PIC) would be e.g. an ASIC that can only run inference of a specific LLM.

Programmable PICs most frequently alter their circuits at runtime by using electronics to manipulate the refractive index of specific regions/features in the lens via thermal changes, relying on the thermo-optic coefficient of the lens material. The circuits themselves usually are formed by Mach–Zehnder interferometer arrays that can perform arbitrary linear operations, e.g. Fourier transforms; other operations, such as logic gates, require nonlinear optics techniques like second-harmonic generation.

Kronshtadt Grom. Grom (Russian: Гром, lit. 'Thunder') is a Russian unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) being developed by Kronshtadt. It was first unveiled at ARMY-2020 forum.

Development 
A full size mockup of the Grom UCAV was unveiled at Army-2020 by Kronshtadt.

"Grom" is being designed to operate in conjunction with fighters such as Su-35 and Su-57; according to main designer of Kronstadt, the main task of this UCAV is to save the lives of pilots and piloted aircraft themselves.

"Grom" will be able to carry Kh-38 air-to-surface guided missiles. The weapons will be placed on four hardpoints - two under the wings and two inside the fuselage. The Tactical Missiles Corporation has developed air-to-surface missiles for this drone, prepared the Izdeliye 85 guided missile, as well as KAB-250 and KAB-500 guided bombs. The Grom drone will be capable of not only operating with its own weapons, but also controlling a swarm of 10 units of Molniya strike drones launched from another carrier.

During Army-2022 forum Kronshtadt representatives confirmed that government contracts for the development of the drone were signed, and it was at the stage of preliminary design.

Acephenanthrylene. Acephenanthrylene is a tetracyclic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.

Properties and occurrence
Acephenanthrylene is one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons formed in combustion of various fuels. However, it is not present as an atmospheric pollutant because its vinylic bridge makes it susceptible to photolytic oxidation once released into the atmosphere.

Preparation
Acephenanthrylene has been prepared in 4 steps starting with cyclization of 4-(5-acenapthenyl)butyric acid.

John Richard Harding. John Harding, Jr, was born in Nashville, Tennessee June 2, 1896. His parents were John Richard Harding, III and Roberta Chase Harding.

Harding attended the Webb Preparatory School, in Bell Buckle, Tennessee and Vanderbilt School of Engineering in Nashville.
His education was disrupted from college when he volunteered for the Army Air Service in World War I. He rose from private to Sargent when he trained as an Air Service Master Signal Electrician and Airplane Mechanician working at the Dayton, Ohio air facility. A pilot discovered his abilities, and recruited him as a back-seat mechanic, which eventually led to his commission as a Lieutenant.

Lt. John Harding was one of four Army Air Service officers that completed the first aerial circumnavigation world flight in 1924.
Lt. Harding was the co-pilot of the Douglas World Cruiser: New Orleans. He and the other aviators were all awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, the French Legion of Honor and the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure for the first circumnavigation of the earth by air.

Lt. Harding and The First World Flight author Lowell Thomas, subsequently proceeded on a lecture tour about the world flight. The lecture series lasted two years.

John Harding went on to work as a service manager for Boeing Aircraft Company, for Pump Engineering Service Corporation, and founded Harding Devices Company in Dallas, Texas which manufactured aircraft components.

John Harding, Jr. died at the age of 71 in La Jolla, California.

Indra (boat). Indra is the largest solar-powered boat in India. It started operations in Kochi waters in the Indian state of Kerala on 22nd December, 2023. The design and construction was done by Navalt at their Kochi headquarters and their Navgathi Panavally Yard.

Statistics 
Ever since the boat started operating, it has been a hit with the passengers.

Technical features 
The 27-metre-long and 7-metre-wide boat is covered by  of solar panels rated at 25 kW, which in turn connect to two electric motors of 20 kW, one in each hull. There are 1500 kg of lithium-ion batteries in the ship's two hulls with a total capacity of 80 kWh. The catamaran hull and its shape allow it to reach speeds of up to 7 knots. This was verified by Indian Register of Shipping surveyor. 

The boat is remotely monitored and troubleshooting can also be done remotely. All the operating parameters of the boat are recorded and transmitted to the Navalt's server from where the technical experts can monitor the boat. The upgrades and settings in the software can also be performed remotely as if a computer is plugged into the boat. This makes the boat even safer.

Safety features 
 The boat is a catamaran and hence more stable than single-hulled boats. Even with 50% more capacity, 150 passengers, the boat will meet all the criteria for stability.
 The propulsion battery is approved by DNV Class. These higher standards of safety are essential to ensure the risk of thermal runaway is minimal.
 Cell level monitoring of the battery ensures that risks are lower.
 There are three levels of safety warning for various parameters like temperature of cells, motor, and many more. Level one indicates certain parameters are approaching threshold limit. The next level is the warning that limits have reached and hence need a slowdown, and finally level three warning that limits have breached and the system need to shut down to protect it. 
 There are two independent power train that provides reliability and redundancy. A system fault in one power train does not affect the other since they are electrically independent. The boat satisfies the Indian Register of Shipping's safety requirement of being able to maintain cruise speed with one set of propulsion shut down.
 There are two generators on board to take care of range anxiety – a three phase 30 kVA genset to power the auxiliary including air conditioners and a single phase 25 kVA genes to recharge the propulsion battery.

After completing his Ph.D., Lin worked at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center until 1992. During the 1980s, Lean was recruited by Pan Wen-Yuan to contribute his expertise in optoelectronics to the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). Lean formally joined the ITRI in 1992 as director of its Institute of Optoelectronics, and retired in 2000.

Lean was elected a fellow of the Optical Society of America in 1990, to an equivalent honor by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1997, and elected to academician status in Taiwan's Academia Sinica in 1998.
