The relationship between Canada and the United States is one of the most unique and long-lasting partnerships in the world. These two neighbors share more than a border — they share centuries of history shaped by conflict, cooperation, and constant change. From early Indigenous networks to modern diplomacy, trade, and defense agreements, their story is one of evolution, trust, and occasional tension. This article takes a closer look at how the Canada–US relationship developed and why it remains so important today. Before Borders: Early Contact and Indigenous Nations Long before Europeans arrived, the regions that would become Canada and the United States were home to rich and interconnected Indigenous nations. These communities maintained trade networks, political alliances, and cultural relationships that stretched across large areas of North America. Groups such as the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy) played major diplomatic roles, creating systems of cooperation that predate...
The rapid evolution of drone technology has surpassed the limits of what current energy systems can deliver. From aerial photography to industrial inspections, drones now demand longer flight times. Traditional lithium-ion batteries are efficient but have problems like energy capacity, thermal stability and degradation over time. This is where solid-state batteries on drones came as a potential game changer. By replacing the conventional liquid electrolyte with a solid one, these batteries have enhanced performance, safety and a good lifecycle—all crucial factors for the next gen of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Solid-State Batteries Solid-state battery (SSB) is an electrochemical energy storage device and it uses solid electrolyte instead of the liquid or gel-based electrolyte. The solid electrolyte can be made from ceramics, sulfides or polymers, depending on the design and application. Key Components Anode: Normally it is a lithium metal or a high-capacity compos...
