Caesium peroxide. Caesium peroxide or cesium peroxide is an inorganic compound of caesium and oxygen with the chemical formula . It can be formed from caesium metal by adding a stoichiometric amount in ammonia solution, or oxidizing the solid metal directly.

It can also be formed by the thermal decomposition of caesium superoxide:

Upon heating until 650 °C, the compound will decompose to caesium monoxide and atomic oxygen:

Caesium peroxide shows a Raman vibration at 743 cm−1, due to the presence of the peroxide ions. The compound is often used as a coating for photocathodes, due to its low work function.

Amann Cánovas Maruri. Amann Cánovas Maruri is a Spanish architecture firm established in Madrid  in 1998.  Its three eponymous co-founding partners are Atxu Amann Alcocer, Andrés Cánovas Alcaraz, and Nicolás Maruri Mendoza.

The concern is perhaps most well known for its design of the pavilion of Spain at Expo 2020 in Dubai, U.A.E. 
The pavilion employs a series of very distinctly hued conical volumes which facilitate greater air circulation for temperature moderation. 
The structure also features a series of domes which created using recyclable materials like wood, iron, and fabric, in addition to referencing traditional insulation techniques in combination with innovative solutions. The pavilion is situated in the "Sustainability" section of the Expo.

Their work is the subject of the volume "TA 18- Collective Housing - Amann- Canovas- Maruri".  They also been written about by Carmen Espegel.

Among their other noted projects are a very colorfully clad housing building in Carabanchel district of Madrid (2009)   and the Monteagudo Museum (2010) in Monteagudo, Navarre, Spain.

Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept. The Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC, pronounced "hawk") is a scramjet powered hypersonic air-launched cruise missile project at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), that had a successful hypersonic flight announced in September 2021. It is a kinetic energy weapon, without an explosive warhead.

The scramjet propelled the missile at "a speed greater than Mach 5" (about 3,300 miles per hour).

The first successful flight was in September 2021. Further testing was carried out in mid-March 2022, but was kept secret at the time to avoid the impression of escalation against Russia during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The existence of the test was revealed in early April 2022.

Principal Director for Hypersonics Mike White stated that HAWC would be smaller than hypersonic glide vehicles and could therefore launch from a wider range of platforms. White additionally noted that HAWC could integrate seekers more easily. DARPA requested
$60 million for MoHAWC, the successor program to HAWC, in FY2023.

On 18 July 2022, the third successful flight test of the HAWC was reported by DARPA - the missile was able to fly at (3,300 mph; 5,300 km/h) speed at the altitude of more than  for more than .

On 30 January 2023, the final successful flight test of the HAWC was reported by DARPA and Lockheed Martin - like its previous flight test, the missile was able to fly at (3,300 mph; 5,300 km/h ) speed at the altitude of more than  for more than , and demonstrated improved performances and capabilities. DARPA plans to further these technological improvements through More Opportunities with HAWC program (MOHAWC).

Technology developed for the HAWC demonstrator was used to influence the design of the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM), a U.S. Air Force Program of Record to create a scramjet-powered hypersonic missile it could deploy as an operational weapon. The contract to develop HACM further was awarded to Raytheon in September 2022. HACM will use a Northrop Grumman scramjet.

Greater Changhua Offshore Wind Farms. The Greater Changhua Offshore Wind Farms () are a series of offshore wind farms currently under construction off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan.

History
The project was approved by the Environmental Protection Administration in February 2018 and is owned by Ørsted. The approval for Ørsted to connect the wind power to Taiwan's electrical grid was granted in April 2018. The construction for the 900 MW wind farms began with the onshore construction for Changhua 1 and Changhua 2A wind farms in November 2019. The first turbines sent electricity to the grid in April 2022, and completion is expected for year's end. A coral growth program tests ability to mitigate coral bleaching.

Technical specifications
The proposed wind farms consists of four wind farms, which are Changhua 1, Changhua 2A, Changhua 2B and Changhua 4. Changhua 1 has a capacity of 605 MW and will be located in a water depth of 34.4–44.1 meters across an area of 108.7 km2. Changhua 2 has a capacity of 295 MW.

Havelsan BAHA. BAHA, acronym for ), is a Turkish sub-cloud autonomous vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle developed by HAVELSAN for the needs of the border security forces.

Background 
The development of BAHA lasted one year at the Turkish defence industry company HAVELSAN. It was introduced at the "International Anatolian Eagle 2021 Exercie" held at the 3rd Main Jet Base Command in Konya in June–July. By early October 2021, it was reported that the UAV successfully completed the flight test in an altitude of  at a distance of   far from the Ground Support Center. It can perform activities like surveillance footage (IMINT), reconnaissance, transferring and resisting radio jamming. It has a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of  and its payload capacity is . The electrical powered version has an endurance of 2 hours, and the fuel powered version has 2.5 hours.

The BAHA is operated from a land vehicle. A further development for the central control of a swarm of 20–30 UAVs, each operated from one land vehicle, is in progress. It is expected that the development was accomplished mid 2021. In 2022, the UAV was redesigned in line with the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces.

Characteristics 
BAHA has a wingspan of . The UAV is able to be airborne up to six hours with its gasoline engine and up to two hours with its electric engine. It can operate at altitudes of up to  in a service range of . Its payload capacity is .

The system can be easily set up by two people, operated by a single person, and can be ready for duty within minutes.

Service 
BAHA meets the need for images with its ability to fly under clouds when it becomes difficult to take images with other type of UAVs due to adverse weather conditions. It contributes so to obtaining the first information about settlements, where transportation is not possible due to natural disasters.

It can be used in tasks such as tracking, detection and area protection, intelligence, electronic warfare, coastal and border security, energy transmission and oil-gas lines inspection, anti-smuggling and anti-terrorism, public order, narcotic plant detection, residential thermal measurement, forest fire management, post-disaster assessment., environmental pollution detection, agricultural practices and cartography.

Followingexportation of BAHA to the Nigerin militarya in Africa, and to Central Asia, it was delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces end December 2023.

Blue Origin NS-18. Blue Origin NS-18 was a sub-orbital spaceflight mission operated by Blue Origin that launched on 13 October 2021. The mission was the eighteenth flight of the company's New Shepard integrated launch vehicle and spacecraft. It was the second crewed New Shepard launch. The flight, carrying four people including actor William Shatner, launched from Blue Origin's sub-orbital launch site in West Texas aboard the fourth flight of New Shepard booster NS4 and the spacecraft RSS First Step, both having previously flown on NS-14, NS-15, and NS-16 earlier in the year. 

At 90, Shatner became the oldest person to fly into space, surpassing the record of 82 which had been held by Wally Funk for three months since her flight on Blue Origin NS-16. Per Blue Origin, Shatner was a guest of the company on the flight and did not have to pay for the trip.

While in space, Shatner experienced the overview effect and articulated it live on camera in a post-flight conversation with Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos.

Crew 
The crew of four include Blue Origin's vice president of mission and flight operations Audrey Powers, former NASA engineer and third Australian-born person in space Chris Boshuizen, vice chair for life sciences and healthcare at the French software company Dassault Systèmes Glen de Vries, and Canadian actor William Shatner.

Songs for Space 
Chris Boshuizen, who is also a musician, carried a Star Trek-themed USB drive which contained 400 songs submitted to him via a Reddit thread along with him on the trip. The USB drive was later auctioned off for charity supporting Musack, raising $8,448 USD. A Soundcloud playlist of all of the songs contained on the drive was created for posterity.
