Psicoactivo probes Gary McKinnon’s ‘non‑terrestrial officers’ claim, Navy intelligence leads, and Townsend Brown technology On Psicoactivo Podcast, the host analyzes Jesse Michels’ in-depth interview with British hacker Gary McKinnon, revisiting McKinnon’s claims about a satellite image of a cigar-shaped craft and an Excel file titled “non-terrestrial officers.” The discussion connects alleged Navy-linked spreadsheets, exotic materiel transfers, and metamaterials to Thomas Townsend Brown research and the Office of Naval Intelligence’s reported role in UAP secrecy.

Managed Disclosure, Metamaterials, and the Tic Tac: Dolan Assesses Strategy and Physics Claims Researcher Richard Dolan, joined by Tracey, examines Lue Elizondo’s communications strategy around UAP and the 2004 ‘Tic Tac’ case while highlighting physicist Jack Sarfatti’s recent lay explanation for how such craft might achieve lift and rapid maneuvers. The discussion links alleged metamaterials research, theoretical warp concepts, and institutional framing that rebrands UFOs as UAP to gain credibility with policymakers and the public.

AI approach takes optical system design from months to milliseconds A team of researchers at Penn State have devised a new, streamlined approach to designing metasurfaces, a class of engineered materials that can manipulate light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with just their structures. This rapid optimization process could help manufacture advanced optical systems like camera lenses, virtual reality headsets, holographic imagers and more, the team said.

The Weird Hybrid Material That Could Turbocharge Photonic Computing Researchers have created gyromorphs, a new material that controls light more effectively than any structure used so far in photonic chips. These hybrid patterns combine order and disorder in a way that stops light from entering from any angle. The discovery solves major limitations found in quasicrystals and other engineered materials. It may open the [...]
