An unnamed Ukrainian scientist has allegedly developed a new material that can mask heat signatures of troops and gear from Russian drones.
"Necessity is the mother of all inventions," as the saying goes, and this saying has never been more accurate than when applied to wargear. The latest exemplar of this is aThe inventor has wished to remain anonymous, but his new cloak is allegedly already on the Ukrainian frontlines, helping to mask the heat signatures of troops and equipment. The "cloak" is made of black plasticized material, with its outer texture likened to a camping tarp.
The exact composition of "Phantom Skin" is, unsurprisingly, a secret, but it is known to contain nanotechnology compounds, including graphene, which has properties that can mask or absorb heat signatures.

Precise genome engineering and protein activity profiling uncover new cancer drug targetsSearching for new ways to block the growth of cancer cells is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Tumor cells rely on thousands of proteins to function, but only a few of those proteins can be precisely targeted by drugs to treat cancer safely and effectively. Now, a team at Scripps Research and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT has spearheaded a new method to home in on new drug targets most likely to impact multiple cancers.
