Metamorphose is a very interesting thing and many native believing and stories are the tales about creatures, what are able to change their shape as an animal. The idea that some person could change it's shaped between human and animal is very fascinating. Also in Finnish national book Kalevala the bad creature, Louhi (1) could change her creature as a giant eagle. The creature is similar to the native American Indian stories about Skin-walkers (2), the witches, what can take animals form. And there are some other tales about creatures, what change as the animals when they want to do that.

The most well-known characters are of course werewolves and naguals (3) . The last one is some kind of werewolf, but it normally takes the form of a coyote, puma or wolf, and this connects it to the creature of the werewolf. When we are thinking about this very well known the character of horror tales and movies, we would forget one very good explanation for that beast, what has the shape of the man. The origin of those creatures might be men, who wear the wolf skins as clothes, and that's why those men were called as "werewolves".

The stories about those monsters might be meant first some professional soldiers, who would try to be like normal people, but when somebody tried to hurt them, they would use their combat skills. Maybe the origin of this mythical creature is Vikings, who might be ordinary traders, but when the people, who had expensive clothes or equipment came, those traders took the form of warriors and started to rob the village.

In some German mythologies, werewolves were creatures, what defended the people against evilness, but this is not the very common thing to write about that creature. The common way to talk about the werewolves is that they wanted blood and flesh of innocent people, and that's why they were evil creatures, what fate was the silver bullet.

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
