Claude AI helps physicists crack a decade-old jamming puzzle

Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi and Francesco Zamponi used Anthropic's Claude AI to finally prove why a + b = 1 in the critical exponents of jamming. Claude reproduced the 2014 numerical results and, in 40 prompts, produced a publishable analytical solution, published in the Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment (2026). The breakthrough showcases AI's potential to provide fresh mathematical insight in theoretical physics, while also underscoring that human guidance remains essential in steering and validating the AI's output.

Russia deploys Starlink jammers to counter Ukrainian drone strikes

Russia is deploying electronic jamming systems to disrupt Elon Musk's Starlink internet used by Ukraine's mid‑strike drone campaigns, with Ukraine saying the Volna Kupol Garant can affect Starlink over about 20 square kilometers and around 10 jammers detected. Ukrainian commanders have targeted jammer sites while Starlink‑enabled drones continue operating; SpaceX did not comment. The aim is to blunt drone strikes behind front lines, though they have not halted Russian activity.

AI-Fueled Breakthrough Clears Decades-Old Jamming Mystery

Physicists Parisi and Zamponi credit Claude, an AI model, with sparking a simple idea that, despite initial errors, guided a clean proof that two parameters in the jamming (granular) model sum to one. The researchers refined Claude’s premise and published their result in the Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, illustrating AI’s potential to surface patterns and literature while underscoring that human verification remains essential.

Russia’s Space-Based GPS Jamming Confirmed by Independent Research

UT Austin researchers, corroborated by others from the UK, used data from 165 GNSS reference stations to confirm that Russia has been jamming GPS from space since 2019 via a small Molniya-orbit satellite constellation, causing short, powerful disruptions on the L1 band (up to about 10 dB CNr) and also impacting BeiDou. The 2025 study and a May 2026 preprint argue the pattern is intentional rather than a malfunction. The findings underscore GNSS vulnerabilities, spur terrestrial backup efforts by several countries, and highlight policy and strategic implications for space-based EW in great-power competition.

Advancing Army Operations: Testing Next-Gen Communication Technologies

The US Army is set to test its Terrestrial Layer System-Brigade Combat Team (TLS-BCT) in September, which combines cyber, jamming, and signals intelligence capabilities. The TLS-BCT is designed to provide smaller Army formations with the ability to understand their surroundings, disrupt enemy networks, and counter advanced electronics used by countries like China and Russia. The test will evaluate the system's performance against threat emitters and its ability to conduct mission threads. The Army is investing in tactical electronic warfare capabilities after years of neglect, with the effectiveness of electronic warfare in the Russia-Ukraine conflict serving as motivation.
