North Korea makes it uranium in Pyongyang plant, what is placed near the uranium mining area. The purpose of that platform is to enrich the natural uranium for reactor use, and then the nuclear waste can be used to produce nuclear weapons. In this process, the plutonium would be separated from other waste, and then it will be enriched by using the centrifuges, what are similar, what is used in the uranium-enriching process. But is this the real story of the nuclear capacity of North Korea?

Another way to make nuclear bombs is to use the nuclear material, what was stored in the Soviet-built test reactors in Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, in the reactors, what was produced in 1960's and late 1970's. There is claimed that those reactors produce the only iodide for cancer medication, but if that state doesn't have uranium mines anywhere, the storage of the nuclear material will be ended soon. If there would not be new nuclear material, that means that somebody must sell the uranium ore for North Korea or it must dig from the ground.

But uranium is the very heavy element, and that mining must be very deep, and there is not much uranium in that ore. So the enriching enough uranium for nuclear reactor needs very large chemical platforms and centrifuges. After that, the material would be sent to the reactor for giving neutron radiation for uranium 238, what should transfer to plutonium, and return it to the centrifuges.

The material what would be brought from the nuclear reactor is very high radioactive, and the special protection is needed. So does the North Korean government technology, what must have for transporting that material to the handling platform? If that state used the plutonium, what was based the material, what is stored in Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, there are limits how many nuclear tests that country can make.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th
