Ukraine's 57th Brigade says it struck a Russian TOS-3 Drakon heavy flamethrower system near Shebekino on the Kharkiv axis. The TOS-3 is a recently introduced tracked system pairing heavy armor with longer-range thermobaric rockets, and this may be the first recorded Ukrainian strike on one. Observers of the war are closely tracking the fate of Moscow's newest weapons systems in frontline operations.
- 3Origami geometry could scale open-ocean seaweed carbon farming▼Origami geometry could make open-ocean seaweed farming scalable for carbon sequestration
Researchers say origami-inspired geometry could make open-ocean seaweed farming scalable as a carbon sequestration tool. By folding structures that hold seaweed in productive zones while withstanding waves, the design aims to overcome the practical limits that have kept offshore kelp cultivation small-scale. Interest centres on whether farmed seaweed can meaningfully absorb carbon dioxide at industrial scale, a question closely watched in climate and ocean science circles.

A photograph taken from the Mount Race cliff walk on the Appalachian Trail in the Taconic Mountains, Mt Washington, Massachusetts, shows a wide view south into Connecticut. The Litchfield Hills, Twin Lakes, Fisher Pond and the Housatonic Valley are visible in the foreground, with the Riga area to the right, taken on August 23, 2025.
- 5Origami design could scale up open-ocean seaweed farming▼Origami Geometry Could Make Open-Ocean Seaweed Farming Scalable for Carbon Sequestration | Newswise
Researchers report that structures based on origami geometry could make seaweed farming in the open ocean scalable, potentially turning farmed kelp into a practical tool for carbon sequestration. The design addresses how to grow and harvest seaweed at scale in deep waters, where currents and depth have limited existing farming methods.
- 6Germany approves funding for eight submarine-hunting frigates●German lawmakers approve funds for eight-ship fleet of sub-hunting frigates The German ships will support NATO missions
German lawmakers have approved funding for a fleet of eight anti-submarine warfare frigates. The ships are intended to support NATO missions in the Baltic and North seas, the Atlantic and the High North. The move is part of Germany's broader effort to strengthen its naval capabilities and bolster alliance defense amid heightened security concerns in European waters.
