The speed of the supercomputer is not alone made ultimate computing.

Problem with the quantum computer is not only in building the new kind of microchip. Another problem is to create the program or operating system, what can use all power of the supercomputer. And one solution would be used multi-layer kernel, where the top layer is normal Windows or Linux layer, and that layer communicates with processor thru the lower layer, what is specially designed for those ultimate processors.


The speed of microprocessors is not the only thing, what makes the ultimate computing and ability to make the sharp and powerful simulation. Another important thing is that the programs can communicate and control that electric equipment. In the production of microchips might use nanotechnology, what allows to make the three-atom size of transistors. In those transistors, the foot, collector, and emitter are made of the single atom.


And the super fast computers can also cool to the temperature where it turns to superconducting. It would give it ultimate clock frequency because that superconductor would eliminate the heating of the processor. But then the temperature must be near absolute zero-point or zero Kelvin temperature. Those ultra small and fast components need also new kind of kernels.


This means that if the computer programs and kernel, what makes the layer, where computer microchips are communicating with computer software have no ability to drive computer with full speed, or is not otherwise capable to exploit the full power of those computers, the superfast computers are useless. This is one of the greatest problems with the creating the quantum computer.


There are no programs, what can exploit the capacity of this new kind of supercomputer. One version to solve that problem is to make multilayer kernel, where the top layer is normal Windows or Linux kernel, what would control the lower layer of the kernel. This lower layer of the kernel would be made for communicating with that quantum processor. That would be one solution for that ultra-fast computer.


The ultra-fast computers are needed also in everyday computing because mobile solutions use so-called pre-processed computing, where all calculations happen in the server. This allows making the mobile systems, where are the long-term batteries. The mobile computers like tablets are usually quite weak processors. The calculations must do in somewhere, and those process would happen in the memory of central computers. But the servers must have powerful processors. And this would raise the need to develop the new kind of extreme fast computers, what can be used also for code-breaking.

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. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
