US Navy Blinds Iran Radar So Ships Can Pass Strait of Hormuz

Brian Wang — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 19:43:23 +0000

U.S. did not need to dominate the water itself to break Iran’s ability to control or blockade the strait of Hormu. The US Navy blinded Iran’s military by destroying or jamming their ability to see and target ships — especially large commercial tankers. A video shows specific high-risk transit of a 1,000-foot supertanker through the ...

Adding and Removing Atoms and Molecules Shown

Brian Wang — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 18:58:32 +0000

A new paper provides clear, reproducible proof-of-concept for subtractive mechanosynthesis on silicon. It is not yet a complete minimal toolset”demonstration on diamond surfaces, but it validates the core principles of selective, mechanically driven atom abstraction and shows how molecular tool design can control reaction outcome. Together with the additive C₂ donation results, it represents the ...

State of the Molecular Manipulation Toolset

Brian Wang — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 18:10:38 +0000

CBN Nano has built and operated some level of a working prototype system for mechanically controlled mechanosynthesis, even if not every single element of the full envisioned toolset is present in one published figure set. They have done and documented hundreds of carbon dimer pick and place actions. ~60–70% of the early molecular manipuulation tool-system ...

Substantial Practical Early Molecular Nanotechnology Tool System Using Inverted Mode STM

Brian Wang — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 17:52:47 +0000

There is almost 1000 pages on the papers describing the work and plan for creating molecular manufacturing workstations. This work (primarily the 2026 CBN Nano paper and the closely related inverted-mode STM paper arXiv:2512.24431) demonstrates a substantial, practical portion of the early tool system needed for a Molecular Workstation as outlined in rep059.pdf (Molecular Workstation ...

Proof of Picking and Placing Carbon Dimer Molecules

Brian Wang — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 17:23:10 +0000

Molecular Nanotechnology has worked for over a decade. I, Brian Wang, invested in the startup that has been moving and placing molecules using tooltips for over a decade. Over 180 successful atomically precise movements of carbon dimers are described in a paper. When some of the debates about the feasibility of molecular nanotechnology were ongoing, ...

Large US Drone Ship Able To Deploy 120 Hypersonic Missiles Will Have Sea Test in 2027

Brian Wang — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 01:13:46 +0000

Drone ship maker Saronic’s next-generation 180-foot (≈55 m) Marauder medium unmanned surface vessel (MUSV) entered the water for trials in 2026. It represents a major leap in size and capability. It has a payload of up to 150 metric tons. New containerized weapon payloads will be used on the Marauder. One potential configurations would carry ...

US Navy Uses Speed Boat Sized Drone Ships to Attack Iran and Destroyed a Submarine

Brian Wang — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:57:44 +0000

Yesterday, using multiple one-way attack surface drones, CENTCOM forces successfully struck a submarine and ship maintenance facility in Iran. Three Corsair unmanned surface vessels hit the port at Bandar Abbas Naval Base, marking the first time American forces have employed sea drones in combat operations. Last night’s strikes degraded Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial ...

SpaceX Starship Flight 13 in 3 Days – Thursday July 16

Brian Wang — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 21:34:29 +0000

SpaceX Starship Critical Path is part of an ongoing Starship series which follows SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket. Building a rocket (or launch pad) is extremely complex, so teams must constantly ...

HIGH Reasoning Sweet Spot for Anthropic Fable and OpenAI GPT 5.6

Brian Wang — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:35:20 +0000

High reasoning seems to be the sweet spot of value for Anthropic Fable and OpenAI GPT 5.6. Key GTP 5.6 Sol Problems Theo Highlights That Are Similar for Anthropic Fable GPT-5.6 Sol is excellent (strong agentic coding, long-horizon tasks) but much more persistent—it keeps going instead of stopping early like GPT-5.5, leading to unpredictable and ...
