WSJ: Houthis Are Building Advanced Missile With Chinese Parts

The Houthis are attempting to assemble an advanced ballistic missile using Chinese-made components, according to a Wall Street Journal report that underscores the group’s growing technical sophistication despite years of war and sanctions. The effort, if confirmed, would deepen concerns in Washington, Jerusalem and Gulf capitals that the Iran-backed movement is expanding its strike range and resilience through a widening supply chain.

Scientists Report Hexagonal Ice Under Extreme Pressure, Opening New Clues on Water in Planetary Interiors

Researchers have identified a hexagonal-packed form of ice produced under extreme pressure, a finding that sharpens scientific understanding of how water behaves far beyond everyday conditions. The result is relevant to climate and clean-energy science because high-pressure ice phases shape models of planetary interiors, cryogenic systems, and the physics of water in extreme environments.

Astronomers Spot a Star Slowly Consuming a Brown Dwarf 300 Light Years Away

Astronomers have identified a rare stellar system about 300 light years from Earth in which a star appears to be steadily stripping material from a brown dwarf companion. The finding offers a close-up view of an unusual form of binary interaction that can illuminate how compact stellar systems evolve over time. While the discovery is not directly tied to energy markets, it matters for climate and clean-energy science because advances in astrophysics drive the sensor technology, data analysis, and space-based observation tools increasingly used in Earth monitoring.

The Chokepoint Dilemma: How Disruptions in the Bab-el-Mandeb and Malacca are Forcing a Supply Chain Reroute

The world’s most efficient trade routes are becoming its most fragile. Attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have pushed carriers to divert around the Cape of Good Hope, adding thousands of nautical miles, stretching transit times by up to two weeks, and inflating insurance and fuel costs across global supply chains. The result is not a temporary detour but a structural repricing of maritime risk, with container spot rates, war-risk premiums and schedule reliability all moving in the wrong direction. The deeper concern is that the Bab-el-Mandeb is only one of several pressure points. The Strait of Hormuz remains critical to energy flows, while the Strait of Malacca underpins Asia’s manufacturing machine. Together, these chokepoints expose a system built on just-in-time efficiency and thin inventories. As shippers reroute, stockpile and renegotiate contracts, the trade map is being redrawn by security risk rather than pure economics.
