Just how strong is Iran’s military?
the Iranian threat may not be quite what opponents fear. Experts agree Iran will buy military equipment once the world lifts its sanctions. But the Islamic Republic will spend years rebuilding both its fragile economy and its lackluster military. Much of its equipment is 1970s era hardware America sold it when Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was in power. It takes a lot of cash and creative engineering to keep it all running.

EMERGING SUNSPOT
A new sunspot is emerging in the sun's southern hemisphere: movie. Since yesterday, AR2414 has more than quadrupled in size, and it has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. This could end a weeks-long stretch of low solar activity.

Physicists show 'molecules' made of light may be possible
It's not lightsaber time, not yet. But a team including theoretical physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has taken another step toward building objects out of photons, and the findings hint that weightless particles of light can be joined into a sort of "molecule" with its own peculiar force.

Iran says finds unexpectedly high uranium reserve
Iran has discovered an unexpectedly high reserve of uranium and will soon begin extracting the radioactive element at a new mine, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation said on Saturday. The comments cast doubt on previous assessments from some Western analysts who said the country had a low supply and would sooner or later would need to import uranium, the raw material needed for its nuclear program.

Changing behavior through synaptic engineering
Researchers
at the University of Massachusetts Medical School are the first to show
that it's possible to reverse the behavior of an animal by flipping a
switch in neuronal communication. The research, published in PLOS
Biology, provides a new approach for studying the neural circuits that
govern behavior and has important implications for how scientists think
about neural connectomes.
