Carbon Nano Shish Kabob. This science as art piece is created by the scanning electron microscope image. Carbon nanotubes were deposited on carbon fibers via chemical vapor deposition method. The overgrowth of carbon nanotubes on carbon fibers created the shish kabob like carbon nanostructure. (Courtesy photo/Yixin Ren)

U.S. Air Force Airmen monitor computers in support of the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) Onramp 2, Sept 2, 2020 at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. The effect ABMS is attempting to achieve is Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). JADC2 is meant to accelerate the speed of the kill chain by connecting sensors to shooters. ABMS is the digital infrastructure which allows a level of connectivity and [sensor] compatibility for our military at war. As a new Joint Warfighting Concept, Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO) seeks to create simultaneous dilemmas for adversary forces, overwhelming them with too many challenges to counter successfully (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Daniel Hernandez)
