She became suspicious, turned around, and then saw a group of men described as Middle Eastern-looking near the vehicles. The discovery has prompted a suspected bomb plot investigation, and a summary of what is known so far is circulating widely, drawing intense attention to security around the airbase.
- 2Cherry Point Sailors Frocked as Hospital CorpsmenโNavy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Cherry Point Sailors Frock to Hospital Corpsm
Sailors assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Cherry Point, North Carolina, have been frocked to Hospital Corpsman, a Navy tradition allowing them to wear the insignia of their new rank ahead of the official promotion date. The recognition honors their professional growth and readiness within Navy Medicine. Such ceremonies are typically held on base and highlight the corpsmen's role in supporting operational medical readiness.
- 3Deterministic programmable fusion enables scalable photonic graph statesโDeterministic and programmable fusion for the scalable generation of photonic graph states
Researchers report a deterministic and programmable fusion scheme for the scalable generation of photonic graph states, a key building block for photonic quantum computing and quantum networks. Published in Nature, the work addresses a central challenge in optical quantum technologies: reliably producing large entangled states of light rather than probabilistically. The approach could pave the way toward more practical quantum processors and secure communication systems.
- 4Nostalgia for the command-line internet of the 1980sโUsed to haunt this 24hr computer lab back in the # 80s . It was all new then. The # internet was command line. Graphics
A longtime computer user is recalling nights spent in a 24-hour computer lab during the 1980s, when the internet was text-only and accessed through command lines, with graphics limited to ASCII characters. They remember debates about whether the new medium would simply become television all over again, an prediction they believe proved correct.
- 5DNA sequencing startup raises $33 million for gut health workโDNA sequencing startup snags $33M to tackle inflammatory bowel disease, menopause
A DNA sequencing startup has raised $33 million in new funding to develop treatments targeting inflammatory bowel disease and menopause. The company will use the capital to advance its genomic research across these two areas, which currently have limited treatment options. The investment ranks among the more notable health-tech funding rounds announced this week.
