HDTV Question: Is Samsung's QLED Technology a Scam Or Worth the Money?
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Technology, * In short, a QLED TV is just an LCD TV with quantum dots, which are microscopic particles that when hit by light, emit a certain different colored light. The source of this light is the LED backlight, and that light must pass through more layers, such as the LCD layer, to produce the images on the screen. How much of a game-changer is all of that? In recent years, QLED TVs have been mostly associated with the Korean company Samsung. These days, though, other companies like Vizio and TCL have taken and run with this newfound technology.

Spooked: Iranian Pilots' UFO Encounter May Have Been With an American Mach 10 Drone
*David Axe* *Technology, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_TM3E86B17IB01&share=true] Washington wants to keep an eye on Tehran. *Key point:* America has a lot of high-tech platforms it keeps a secret. That is likely what caused the Iranians' UFO sighting. Iran is the only other country besides the United States to operate arguably history’s most powerful interceptor aircraft, the F-14 Tomcat. And the Islamic republic has worked the twin-engine, swing-wing fighters *hard*. *This first appeared in 2019 and is being reposte... more »
Woah: How Did the Houthi Rebels in Yemen Get North Korean Missiles?
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2011%3Anewsml_GM1E7911TD301&share=true] That certainly violations sanctions. *Key point:* The international weapons market is a tricky thing. No matter where a weapon comes from, you never know where it will end up. It’s possible the missile strikes that badly damaged a key Saudi oil facility on Sept. 14, 2019 involved far-flying drones firing small, guided munitions. *This first appeared in 2019 and is being reposted due to reader interest.* Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have bee... more »
The Reason America Nearly Attack Iran in the 1990s (But Didn't)
*David Axe* *History, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2006%3Anewsml_GM1DSGYFPOAA&share=true] Why didn't it happen? *Key point: *There are several instances in which Washington and Tehran nearly came to blows. This is one of those crises. The last time U.S. troops engaged in direct combat with Iran’s own regular forces was in April 1988, when U.S. naval forces struck Iranian ships and sea bases in retaliation for Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf. *This first appeared in 2019 and is being reposted due to reader interest.* A decade ... more »
Coronavirus Kindness: The Pandemic Has Exposed Every American's Angels and Demons
*Amitai Etzioni* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The pandemic in the United States has a long way to go. People who are locked up for months may well behave very differently than those at home for two weeks or so. The ways people respond to a crisis tell us volumes about their values: Are they increasingly selfish or giving? In the past, Americans have rushed to help those hit by earthquakes and hurricanes, often stepping in where the governments failed. Will that communitarian spirit remain when people are facing a much more severe crisis? The 1918 flu pandemic killed a... more »
Sealift Sadness: The Navy Doesn't Have Enough Ships to Supply the Army in the Next Big War
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2013%3Anewsml_GM1E9BG07XQ01&share=true] Not good at all. *Key Point: *Without enough sealift ships and escorts, it will be hard to get troops and supplies to the front. Can Washington turn this situation around? That’s the dire warning that a range of experts have sounded as the Pentagon shifts its focus from counterinsurgency campaigns, which heavily rely on civilian logistics networks, to the possibility of war with a major power such as China. *This first appeared in 2019 and ... more »
Competition Meets Crisis: China’s Perverse Opportunity and a Strategic Response
*Emily de La Bruyere, Nathan Picarsic* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Beijing has turned the coronavirus crisis into a competition. America must invest not just to heal, but to win. The coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, first emerged in China. Beijing’s late, inadequate, and skewed information disclosures accelerated the virus’s global spread. China’s manipulation of information continues to hamper response efforts. Now, as the world wrestles with the pandemic—and its human, economic, and social costs—Beijing sees an opportunity and is maneuvering to seize it. Beiji... more »
Will the Coronavirus Force Kim Jong-Un to Accept Humanitarian Aid?
*Jessup Jong, Kurt Long* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Although it is likely that North Korea continues a degree of restricted trade with China, the effects of the country's lockdown can only be devastating to the nation’s already beleaguered economy. North Korea has taken unprecedented action to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, through its borders. Shutting off numerous vital sources of income, the government halted tourism, closed its border with China, and banned internal travel between provinces. Although it is likely that North Korea... more »
Danger: Why Iran's Deadly Missiles Would Matter During a War
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2008%3Anewsml_GM1E49L1EKK01&share=true] A legitimate threat. *Key Point*: A lot of missiles can overwhelm the defenses of any base or ship. This is why a war with Iran is no joke. Iran is continuing to develop increasingly long-range ballistic missiles -- and is firing some shorter-range missiles in combat -- despite demands from the U.S. government that the Islamic republic totally give up any weapons that could, in theory, carry a nuclear warhead. *This first appeared in 2019... more »
I Built a Bot That Predicts Policy Changes in China After the Coronavirus Pandemic Ends
*Weifeng Zhong* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] This machine-learning algorithm can navigate policy predictions following the worldwide chaos created by the deadly coronavirus. In 2018, economist Julian Chan and I developed a machine-learning algorithm that predicts the Chinese government’s moves by analyzing words in the People’s Daily, China’s version of Pravda. Fast forward to when the dust settles on the novel coronavirus pandemic, also known as COVID-19, and this bot will come in handy as countries regroup and need to reassess how they deal with China. The biggest ques... more »
How Turkey Plans to Get Its Hands on Its Own Stealth Fighter
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_TM3EB8K16F701&share=true] Buy from abroad or make a new one at home? *Key point: *Ankara is looking at Moscow or Beijing as potential sellers. Alternatively, Turkey could try to build its own stealth fighter although that would be much harder. The United States in July 2019 kicked Turkey out of the multi-national effort to develop and build F-35 stealth fighters. The Turkish government had insisted on buying Russian-made air-defense systems that U.S. officials cla... more »
