Antiprotonic helium



Image 1: Model of antiprotonic helium. 


The antiprotons are orbiting helium atoms in super cold helium. And that material is called antiprotonic helium.

The antimatter physicists of CERN have created a new form of hybrid material. The antiprotons are put to orbit helium atoms in super cold helium liquid. These kinds of experiments are interesting. The energy level of antimatter is extremely high. 

And the annihilation reaction could use for ignition in fusion reactors. There are other hybrid materials where the material particle is connected to an antimatter particle. The hybrid materials where the antimatter particles are connected with regular material make it possible to store antimatter very effectively. 

The reason why antimatter experiments and storage must make at a temperature that is as near zero kelvin as possible is simple. The low temperature removes the oscillation of the material and antimatter. And that minimizes the possibility that mirror particles touch each other accidentally. 

The most common of those particle pairs are positronium (electron-positron pair) and protonium or antiprotonic hydrogen (proton-antiproton pair). The protonium is quite similar to positronium. Except for one thing. In protonium proton and antiproton replace electrons and positrons. Protons and antiprotons are much heavier than electrons and positrons. And that makes protonium more high-energetic than positronium. 

In that particle pair positron and electron are orbiting each other. There is the possibility to conduct electricity to one point by using those particle pairs. And they can uncover things like the existence of superstrings. The idea is that the electron and positron are enough lightweights and small particles that can resend energy to possible superstring. 

And then that energy load can make superstring visible. The idea is that. The energy load that is sent through positronium increases energy in hypothetical superstring. That means the interaction between superstring and that particle pair will turn stronger. 

The positronium is sometimes introduced to use as data storage. In that data storage information is loaded in the positron and electron. And that thing transforms them into qubits. Then the magnet will pull electrons in the quantum computer and the positron can collect or let annihilate. If the data storage will open unauthorized. The positronium will collapse. Then annihilation destroys entire information.

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
