The new microwave weapon can knock drones out of the skies.

Image 1)  Drones are a big problem for infantry and all other things. The kamikaze drones can eliminate all persons and penetrate through personal armor. And they are the size of a thermos bottle. Those drones can hide in the masked fire stations that can look like a birdhouse.  And operators can control them over the internet. The quadcopters can carry small bombs like hand grenades or small-size heat warheads that are looking a little bit like WW2 German hand grenades.  The "Switchblade" drones can drop from bombers and even satellites. And that thing gives the B-2 and future B-21 bombers unbelievable accuracy.  Those heat ammunition might not destroy things like main battle tanks. But for the tankers and trucks, those systems can be dangerous. The drones can also carry things like Javelin missiles. And that makes them dangerous for all kinds of armored vehicles. If that kind of drone would be in the wrong hands. it might be dangerous for things like limousines.  Small-size

B-21 Raider will be grounded until the next year.

The maiden flight of the B-21 Raider stealth bomber will not happen until the year 2023. The fact is that this type of aircraft is protected by very large-scale security systems and security operations. The secrets of those stealth bombers are also big. We all know that the shape of the stealth bomber makes it stealthy. In the same way, the Chinese can make a copy of the USAF B-2 and B-21 bombers by copying their shape to their stealth bombers. But we know that the more interesting parts of those bombers are the unseen parts. We should think like this.  Only things that cannot hide are told to the public. Things like ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) radars are giving that aircraft capacity to find underground facilities and submerged submarines. The stealth bomber is entirety where the stealth missiles and bombs are filling the power.  The stealth technology is useless if the enemy radars can get an echo from the cruise missiles or bombs that the stealth bombers use. If those drops are de

Vladimir Putin claims that Russia has a laser weapon that can blind satellites and burn holes in them in five seconds.

   Image 1) The fact is that these kinds of claims and speculations have introduced in the Soviet era. At that time. There were rumors that the Soviets have massive laser stations near Moscow. And the DOD artwork introduced speculations. About what this type of laser station might look like.  There were a couple of incidents where the Soviets targeted satellites by using lasers for covering their secrets. The satellites were not blinded completely and the laser ray just disturbed the photo-recon satellites. The things like CCD cameras and computer-aided photography decrease laser rays' effect. The CCD camera sends images to the computer by using all pixel groups separately.  And all pixel groups are sensitive to a certain wavelength of light. So the system connects the image by using multiple separate images. And the computer can remove the wavelengths of the laser rays. The weakness of the laser ray is it has only one wavelength. And the system can remove the frequency of those la

There are two speeds of sound on the planet Mars.

  Image: BigThink/  No music on Mars: Sound is different on the red planet If we will put the microphone in a chamber and there is similar gas pressure and gas mixture with the atmosphere of the planet Mars, we could make fundamental acoustic sensors. That system makes it easier to separate low- and high-pritch acoustic waves from each other. These kinds of sensors can use to detect seismic sounds. And it can also separate the sources of the sounds.  There would be no music on planet Mars. The reason for that is this. Low-pritch and high-pritch sound waves travel at two different speeds.  On ScitechDaily, the speed of sound on planet Mars is described like this. "On Mars-planet, low-pitched sounds travel at about 240 meters per second, while higher-pitched sounds move at 250 meters per second". But what would somebody make with the speed of sound on another planet?  The fact is that this kind of information can be useful when researchers are making sensors that mission is to

Flying wings are coming.

Computer-Generated Image of China's Xian H-20 Stealth Bomber. Image Credit: Creative Commons. Chinese H-20 and the USAF B-21 stealth bombers are both flying wings. The flying wing design makes those aircraft more economical. And they can carry more payload. Also, the economical flight makes them fly longer time before refueling. And along with stealth technology that makes those bombers very capable for global operations.  The thing is that those aircraft can be very fast because they are aerodynamically very capable. Their shape is smooth. And the curves are soft. That allows the radio waves from the radars to slide over their body without causing an echo. The same way that shape makes air molecules travel over the bodies of those aircraft.  There is the possibility that the magnetic field around those aircraft is boosting the stealth capacity of those super bombers. The magnetic stealth system acts as the Earth's magnetic field and pushes the radio waves away from the aircraf

New solar panels operate in the nighttime.

The new solar panels harvest energy from infrared light. That means they can use things like body temperature. For making electricity at night. The infrared-based solar panels can use any heat source for making electricity.  They can connect to clothes. And infrared solar panels can create energy for the mobile telephone battery. But also microchips that are in the intelligent clothes can get energy from those infrared panels.  But those systems can be even more capable if they are connected with bioluminescence light. The bioluminescence light can use also with regular solar panels. The idea is that the light that solar panels need will produce by using bioluminescence cells.  Bioluminescence light can make it possible to create solar panels that work the nighttime. And bioluminescence light can also use in light amplifiers.  The new solar panels can operate in the darkness. And they can create about 1/10 of the power that solar panels create during the daytime. The system is based th

The new biological microchips can revolutionize mobile technology.

The bacteria can use in self-repairing organic microchips. The use of living cells as the base of the new biological microchips is making it possible to create microchips that can implant into the human body.  Genetic engineering makes it possible that the surface antigens of those living microchips are similar to their user's antigens. And that denies the immune reaction against those microchips. When we are thinking about the organic- self-assembling and self-repairing microchips we could install them in the nervous system by simply injecting those systems into the blood vessels.  Then the encoded DNA would make those microchips swim to the right point of the nervous system. The use of implanted microchips is limitless. They can use to control mobile telephones or the pilot can control every system of the jet fighter by using brain implanted microchips. But the problem with regular microchips is that they need surgical operations. The self-assembling living microchips can simply

Why does Russian information warfare fail in Ukraine?

What is information warfare? Another name for psychological operations is a lie. The fake news and faked information have based on the idea that telling lies would help own side to get sympathy.  So in psychological warfare things are told in a way that supports their side. The loss of trust is one way that makes the information operations fail. People should learn that they must be suspicious of all information shared in all kinds of media. Especially if information comes from the conflict area. In conflicts, there is a higher risk of faked information.  We must remember all the time when we are reading some kind of information that we have a free press in the western world. But the situation is not the same in all nations. There are many countries where journalists are working under the observation of authorities. And in some countries, the laws are making it impossible to criticize governments.  There are five ways in which psychological operations can fail.  1) The information that

New winds of hypersonic flight.

Image 1) Artist's impression of Lockheed-Martin  SR-72 The purpose of test planes is to bring data for larger-scale systems. Data collected from hypersonic systems like miniature missiles, and test planes can research and develop for bigger. And more capable multi-use super- and hypersonic aircraft. Whenever some manned or unmanned aircraft goes to hypersonic areas the test unit brings information from that extreme area beyond the supersonic world.  The Lockheed-Martin SR-72 hypersonic testbed brings vital information from the hypersonic world. Along with DARPA's hypersonic, scramjet-driven missile test unit. Those remote- or AI-controlled systems can make test flights safely. And that means there are more risks that those units can take.  That is vital for the larger-size hypersonic aircraft. The large-size hypersonic aircraft can carry satellites to low earth orbiters. And they can also carry cargo and passengers all around the world very fast.  Image 2) Artist's impressi

The Russian army may refuse to advance.

Rumors are telling that Russian troops refuse to advance. That means those people will not follow commands. And that thing causes a very dangerous. Because if that advance continues. There is a possibility that this rebellion pulls the entire army after that. There is the possibility that there is a threat of military rebellion against Putin's government.  The situation in the Russian military is poor. There is lots of corruption, and older servicemen cheat others. That means. There is the possibility. That at least some of the losses of the Russian army are caused by their own troops' revenge. A combat situation is a good place to revenge for the bad treatment.  Also, the corrupted military persons might want to clear their competitors from their way. If their competitor is dead, that opens a higher position for applicants. And that means the soldier's temptation to shoot their comrades in combat can be irresistible. Cheating during training gives hate to motive. The comba

How good are Russian tanks and military anyway?

If "Pravda" reports that there are over 25 000 killed Russian troops in the Ukraine war. There must be many other killed combatants like mercenaries who are not reported. The Russian army calls mercenaries from Northern Africa and other friendly countries. That thing, allows them to hide some part of their losses in the war.  Modern warfare is very technical, and the use of advanced technology means that there are lots of places, where can be errors. Even if something works perfectly in simulations and training there could be a difference in real situations. In modern high-tech, only one connector that is not connected properly the entire system can fail. The active protection systems must be working as they should.  And if there is some kind of errors in computers, sensors, or computer programs the system would not work correctly. Then we can think about the tanks and other equipment by using the questions. What that equipment should be? What have they been in training and e

Ukrainians destroyed the T-14 "Armata" tank in Ukraine.

T-14 "Armata" (Wikipedia) Ukrainian troops destroyed the T-14 tank in war. That thing is a good example that when even when something looks like well working everything can go wrong. Even if the protective systems and all other things work fine in exercises. The real situations are different.  We can compare the destruction of the Armata tank with the case when the Serbian AA-flak destroyed a US stealth fighter. The F-117 stealth fighter or bomber seemed an invincible weapon. But the time drove through that type of solution. The Serbian AA missile shot. And then the regular AA cannons destroyed that aircraft.  The T-14 "Armata" is equipped with an active self-protecting system that shoots steel flechettes against the incoming ammunition. The system has the reactive explosive plates or bricks that cover the entire tank and possibly the aimed "Trophy" type system, that shoots incoming missiles or bazookas HEAT ammunition. The problem is that the reactive arm

The "Silent Ventus" drone is silent, and it has no emissions at all.

The "Silent Ventus" drone is a low-noise system, that uses probably ion propulsion. The noise of that system is about 70 dB. And that thing means the great breakthrough of ion technology. An ion engine or ion thruster can use any type of ion for its thrust. If the system must change to use the different polar ions the only thing that this system must do, is to change the poles of the acceleration track.  The only thing that denies the ion-engine drone to fly to the orbital trajectory is a power source. The "Silent Ventus" can be the pathfinder for the next-generation low-noise space systems. The idea is that the ion-driven space shuttle can rise to the low-earth orbital from regular parking lots. The silent ion system can remove the noise problems of regular rocket engines.  But if the ion engined drones use remote-electric load. The remote electric transfer can happen by using coherent high-power radio impulses. They can fly to the orbital trajectory quite easily.

What is business?

Business is an interaction between the different types of actors. And the business environment is the environment where business makers are acting. Sometimes it is described as the network of actors who sell and buy things. The business parks are an important part of the business environment. But also things like the community where the business makers are acting are as well as or even more important.  If the business actors face resistance very often, they would not continue their business in that area. In cases when the community is always against business, the actors in the firm might change their operational area. That means they move to the other place.  The company needs a good product and good marketing for making the business successful.  But also, the environment where the firm acts play an important role in a successful business. An environment that has a positive attitude toward business and entrepreneurship makes especially start-ups easier to launch themselves to markets.

The new quantum processors are more and more powerful.

  Quantum entanglement and photon clouds can be the heart of next-generation quantum microchips. The idea is that there are two graphene layers and between them is the photon cloud. The quantum entanglement will form through that photon cloud in which photons are superpositioned and entangled. That energy bridge transfer energy to the photon cloud.  That kind of system is making it possible to create more and more powerful computers. The worst problem with the photonic superposition is that it's quite a short-term system. That thing means that the quantum computers must be re-adjust after a short time.  Quantum memristors are making it possible that the re-adjustment of the quantum computer can be automatized. The system will take the positions that are used in operations from memristors. That allows the quantum computer can continue its operation after re-adjustment. And the superconductors that can let electricity travel in only one direction are making it possible to create the

Business parks and innovations.

  The business parks are the places where entrepreneurs can create their networks. The networks are important, especially for startups. The entrepreneurs can find new companies that can offer their know-how to other beginners and small- and micro-companies. The network is the key element in the success of the micro-companies work. The network brings the needed work to do. And maybe someday, the big deal is coming to the front of the entrepreneurs.  The network of the different sector companies is important when people who are micro-entrepreneurs are making offers of their services to other companies. The business park is the place where start-ups and other companies can meet each other. The small-size companies can be start-ups. Or they can be communities of high-class professionals like lawyers and ICT specialists. The fact is that the start-up entrepreneur might have experience years before they are making their own company. When those people are made their own company. The problem i

Only imagination limits innovation.

Image: Toyota Above this text is the futuristic car on the moon. Or actually, that thing can be the combination of the lunar cruiser, laboratory, and shuttle. There is the possibility that we would travel to the moon using trains or cars. Or technology that bases those well-known vehicles. The fact is that electric cars can operate on the moon.  And the futuristic spacecraft that operate at the weak gravitation would have wheels under them. Those flying cars that are equipped with vertical rockets can travel to Earth. So that futuristic "lunar cruiser would also equip with horizontal or vertical rockets. And they can be shuttles with wheels.  There is the possibility that in the future the magnetic rail gun or magnetic track that accelerates connecting spacecraft would base the railway. That magnetic accelerating track would build around the moon, and the craft is accelerated by using magnets to the journey to Earth. These types of systems might base on trains or cars. But they ar

How to get to Jupiter orbiter in 1 year?

From Pinterest The Pioneer 10 flew to Jupiter in about a year. The Galileo probe used almost 2000 days for that journey. And the reason for that was simple. The Galileo probe was the orbital mission. And it should slow down its speed for reaching the orbiter.  The total flight time of the Galileo probe was more than six years. The reason for that is simple. Galileo's flight time to Jupiter was announced from the last gravitational assists.  While it made its mission, the Galileo probe made two gravitational assist flybys with Earth and one with Venus. As I wrote before. But is it possible to send the orbital probe to Jupiter or other planets in less than two years? There are two theoretical ways to make that thing.  1) Main craft makes the flyby and sends the parasite probes to orbital trajectory.  Sometimes is introduced an idea of an interplanetary or even interstellar mission is a combination of the flyby and orbital missions. The system includes two types of probes. The main pr

The problem with hibernation is that is not remove aging.

Many scientists think that hibernation is useless in long-term space travel.  The fact is that normal hibernation or normal anesthesia cannot help people in long-term space travel at all. Hibernation can be a good way to control a person who is psychotic or injured.  But the hibernation itself does not affect things like a lifetime. The major problem with long-term spaceflight is the aging of the people. And hibernation does not affect that thing. But hibernation is the gate to cryogenic space travel. Cryogenic space travel means that the crew will freeze to the temperature of zero kelvin.  Why cryogenics is a promising way to make extreme long-term spaceflight? The reason, why cryogenics is better than so-called normal hibernation or narcosis is the oscillation of the DNA and other molecules' ends. This means the space traveler will not age. The idea is that when the spacecraft comes near its destiny. The system will start to warm those astronauts.  And when they are put in the cr

Enzymes are extremely complicated molecules.

     The enzyme glucosidase converts the sugar maltose into two glucose sugars. Active site residues in red, maltose substrate in black, and NAD cofactor in yellow. (PDB: 1OBB​) The enzymatic reactions control many things in our body and other living organisms. The complicated structures of enzyme molecules are one of the reasons why new and more powerful supercomputers are created. Enzymes are biological catalysts. They are accelerating chemical reactions.  Making simulations of the reactions between enzymes and enzyme-protein reactions require extremely powerful computers. I know that many enzymes are proteins. But here I use the term protein for macromolecules that are forming cell cores.   Many actors affect the enzymatic reactions. The PH-value, pressure, and temperature are the thing that affects the structure of the enzyme. When the temperature rises that affects the reactive structures of enzymes. And also when the size of an enzyme is changing.  So when the form of enzyme chan

Who is the best stealth fighter in the world?

    F-22 vs. F-35, vs. J-22 vs. SU-57, which of those aircraft is the best? The answer to that question is nobody knows. The thing is that the aircraft on paper can be different than aircraft in a real situation. When we are looking at theoretical models of the aircraft. There as drawings and officially published they might seem like miracles.  They might look almost too perfect. But the fact is different. Even if the aircraft is perfect, there is always something that pilots must learn. That thing is seen when they tested touch switches of F-35. Learning to use the new type of user interface takes time. The thing is that when the new concept of aircraft is entering service all personnel from pilots to ground support staff require training.  And when the new concepts like interaction with drones and AI-controlled self-protection are in use there are always errors in programs. The thing is that the brand new aircraft with brand new systems might not be ready for action. During tests, co
