Smoking is now prohibited in some Finnish prisons

The first Finnish prison, what prohibits the smoking in its area is the Central Prison of Sornainen at Helsinki. This prohibition is somewhere criticized, but the reason for that is the cigarettes and tobacco products causes problems in prisons. The problem is that that stuff is used for merchandise for the prohibited items, and that is one reason to make the prison non-smoking area. The prisoners are sometimes against this thing, but they would not have listened, because the purpose of the prison is to punish criminals.

The problem, what those cigarettes are causing, is that sometimes weaker persons have forced to use their money for buying tobacco for their prisoner mates. Cigarettes are used for payment even for drugs like heroin, but I don't know how common this problem is in the prisons. All my pieces of information are from the articles in some magazines, what is telling about crimes. The non-smoking prisons also are safe, because there is no change to burn cell or cellmate with cigarettes. And the prisoners would not die of lung cancer so easily.

And that's why the prison staff would want to deny smoking in that area. There are stories that in some prisons in the world even murders have paid with cigarettes. Another thing, what is very interesting is that some prisoners have got some threats and they are claimed to steal another person's cigarettes. And the price of those cigarettes has been raised even a thousand euros.

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
