Miriam John. Miriam E. John is an American engineer who is a policy advisor and former vice president of Sandia National Laboratories. She is an expert in nuclear weapons and chemical defence. In 2022, she was awarded the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory John S. Foster, Jr. Medal and was elected Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering.

Early life and education 
John earned her bachelor's degree at Rice University. She moved to Tulane University for her master's degree, and Princeton University for her doctorate. Her doctoral research considered the characterization of optically selective catalysts.

Career 
In 1978, John joined the Sandia National Laboratory California Division, where she led the Test and Evaluation of nuclear weapons as well as Systems Analysis. She was appointed to her first management position in 1982, where she oversaw thermal and fluid analysis. W89/SRAM II, which John worked on, was the last weapon development program in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Several of the warheads John designed were eventually produced, and eventually she was made responsible for studying and assessing nuclear weapons.

In 1999, John was made Vice President of Sandia National Laboratories, a position which she held until 2006. After retiring, John joined the advisory board of the United States Department of Defense and the Nuclear Science and Security Consortium. She has served as chair of the California Council on Science and Technology. She encouraged the Department of Defense to make use of big data and new technologies to counter nuclear proliferation.

CASC CH-901. The CASC CH-901 is a loitering munition developed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) in 2016. The drone can be deployed in several ways; it can be carried by soldiers in the field and launched out of a tube, as well as from vehicles, aircraft, and UCAVs. In 2020 China unveiled a truck fitted with 48 launch tubes for CH-901 loitering munitions.

The CH-901 can also be launched from the new FH-97 loyal wingman drone unveiled at Airshow China in 2021.

Operation 
The CH-901 can be readied and launched from its tube in 3 minutes. The drone then dashes to its target area at 180 km/h (110 mph), where it flies around for up to 60 minutes, at 100 km/h (62 mph) and at an altitude of 100 m (330 ft) to 150 m (490 ft). Once a target is located using the drones electro-optical guidance, it dives onto its target at 288 km/h (179 mph) and detonates its warhead. The CH-901 can carry a 3.5 kg (7.5 lbs) high explosive warhead, a fragmentation charge, a shaped charge for penetrating armor, or a camera for reconnaissance. The drones can also be launched in waves to swarm and overwhelm enemies.

The Dot (computer). The Dot was a portable computer released by Computer Devices, Inc. (CDI) in April 1983. It featured an Intel 8088 processor and up to 704 KB of RAM, while its screen was capable of producing graphics at a resolution of up to 1024 by 248 pixels. Despite running MS-DOS and being compatible with a smattering of popular MS-DOS software, the computer was not fully IBM PC compatible. The Dot was a commercial failure and was a major factor in CDI's Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 1983.

Specifications
The Dot's primary microprocessor was an Intel 8088, although customers could have optionally purchased a Z80 expansion board that allowed it to run CP/M. It otherwise featured 32 KB of RAM stock (expandable to 704 KB); a 9-inch-wide, 5-inch-tall CRT monitor; and one 3.5-inch floppy disk drive (manufactured by Sony, inventors of that format). The computer was optioned with MS-DOS as a native operating system; a dual serial port card; a second 3.5-inch floppy drive; a thermal printer that attaches to the top of the computer; a 300/1200-baud modem; and an Intel 8087 floating-point co-processor. The video card supports rendering graphics at pixel resolutions of 640 by 200 or 1024 by 248, while the optional thermal printer can output 132-line text, for a perfect facsimile of the computer's text display mode.

Release and market failure
The Dot was announced in fall 1982 and released in April 1983, the company establishing a national dealer network the month prior to release. The Dot was intended to be the breakout microcomputer product for Computer Devices, Inc., who was previously a successful manufacturer of computer terminals based out of Burlington, Massachusetts. Despite possessing the same Intel 8088 as the IBM PC as well as being shipped with MS-DOS (functionally equivalent to IBM's PC DOS), the Dot was not fully IBM PC compatible. Demand for the Dot was low, and by December 1983 only between 2,000 and 3,000 units had been sold. Computer Devices announced two massive layoffs in the wake of the computer's failure and other complications in the company, the first in August 1983, the second in October 1983. Computer Devices filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy the following month.

The Dot's failure and Computer Device's bankruptcy were highly publicized at the time, as it came amid a slew of other concurrent bankruptcy filings from other high-tech companies—not least of which was that of Osborne Computer Corporation, another portable computer manufacturer whose Osborne 1 was the first commercially successful portable computer ever made. Unlike Osborne, however, Computer Devices was able to survive their bankruptcy and continue into the next decade, albeit making a pivot into software development for specialized applications. The company eventually dissolved in October 1998.

Diffractive solar sail. A diffractive solar sail, or diffractive lightsail, is a type of solar sail which relies on diffraction instead of reflection for its propulsion. Current diffractive sail designs use thin metamaterial films, containing micrometer-size gratings based on polarization or subwavelength refractive structures, causing light to spread out (i.e. diffract) and thereby exert radiation pressure when it passes through them.

History 
The idea of using diffraction for a solar sail was first proposed in 2017 by researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology. This was enabled in part by advances in material design and fabrication (particularly of gratings), and optoelectronic control. In 2019 a diffractive solar sail project from the Rochester Institute of Technlology suggested a solar polar orbit mission with diffractive sails that could reach a higher solar inclination angle and smaller orbital radius than one with reflective sails, reaching NASA's NIAC phase II. In 2022 the NIAC project reached phase III and gained US$2 million of support from NASA, with involvement of researchers from both Johns Hopkins University and the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Advantages over reflective sails 
Reflective solar sail designs tend to consist of large, thin reflective sheets. By the law of reflection, the forces acting on them will always be normal to the sheet surface; the sheets must therefore be tilted during navigation, which poses structure and control challenges, and reduces the power reaching the sail. These in turn can lower reliability, increase mass, and reduce acceleration. Furthermore, reflective sails tend to absorb a reasonable proportion of the light hitting them, causing them to heat up; this can cause structural problems, particularly when the sail is repeatedly heated and then allowed to cool. Also, each photon hitting the sail is used once, i.e. it's either reflected or absorbed.

On the other hand, in a diffractive sail the grating can redirect light even when the sheet directly faces the sun, allowing much more efficient control with maximum power hitting the sail. The diffractive film can be designed to allow for optoelectronic control of the gratings, thereby reducing mass and increasing reliability relative to mechanical control. Since the film is translucent, most of the light just passes through the sail, reducing overall heating. Photons can be reused: either by passing through a second diffraction grating for more thrust, or by going to a solar cell to provide electricity.
