Writing about snow, what could be black or white




Kimmo Huosionmaa

One of the three forms of water is ice. And the most beautiful form of the water is snow. Snow is actually crystal-shaped ice, what is fascinating material. The reason, why snow crystals structure is so exciting, is that every snow crystal has the different structure. And the structure of the snow is like growing crystal. The shape of the snow crystal allows that the structure can be grown in very large scale. The show itself is very tricky material because it needs low temperature for creation. The zero celsius is absolute maximum temperature, where snow can be creating. And in this temperature, the snowflakes would be big and they seem like cotton pieces.


The flat shape of the snow crystals can get their shape at lower temperatures, where is creating lighter snow, what seems like Bulwer. The shape of snow crystals is so fascinating because the shape of water molecules looks the little bit like teddy-bear. And the ionization will make the situation possible, that the water molecules start to make growing mass.  But we can, in theory, make the material that can act like water. The carbon can use as the base of this material, what has the same poisonous classification than cyanide. In this chemical reaction, the oxygen of the water is replaced with carbon, where two hydrogen atoms will be connected. This material chemical formula is C-H2 (I don’t know how to get the upper index from my keyboard). It should act like water, but it is more poisonous. If we can produce this material enough, we could build artificial ”black snow”.


This carbon base material could grow the crystals like water. The oxygen has four electrons in the outer layer of the electron-core, and it has the same electron structure than sulfur or selenium. Also, Polonium has the same electron structure with oxygen, and we could grow the polonium chrystals in the laboratory, but this is only the theory. In real life, Polonium is very high radioactive material, and this kind of experiments are serving only theoretical research. When we are talking about using the material like Selene for growing crystals, that might be suitable for medical use. In some cases, the blood vessels to the tumor could lock by using this kind of material, what can create the shape like artificial snow crystal to the blood vessels.


If we could create non-poisonous material what can create growing crystal, we could make an ultimate cure for some cancer types. This material could base the carbon, and if we could make the situation, where this material can grow the crystals in the human body, we could make the growing structure, what will be transferred to the cells of the tumor. And then this structure will start to grow inside the tumor or its cells and fills them with this material. It could kill those cells immediately. But the problem with that carbon base material is that it is so poisonous. Another way is use selenium in the base, and maybe it would work better in this medical use.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (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

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
