The new materials can turn motion, heat, and sunlight into energy.

The new materials are breakthroughs in mobile technology. If there is the possibility to make material that turns kinetic energy, heat, and sunlight into electricity that makes it possible to create a new type of cell phone. The research team at The University of Oulu, Finland, is made a research that opens the road to that kind of materials. 

A nanotechnology is an impressive tool. When we think about the nanomaterial that can produce energy or turn kinetic, heat, and sunlight into electricity. That thing opens the road to the most impressive materials and technology, that has ever been created. 

The nanomaterial can be to the structure where the small-size nanogenerators that combined with a silicone-based graphene-fullerene hybrid. There is the possibility that the nanogenerators are looking like the systems that are used in kinetic wristwatches. The idea is that between two 2D hybrid atom layers are nanotubes. In those nanotubes is magnetic material and then the rotor is in that tube. So the structure is acting like a small-size generator. 



The system can create energy from rising air, that flows through those tubes. And when the system is in the pocket the body heat causes a situation where it flows through those tubes. And the body movement can also move those rotors. If there is a silicone cover that allows using the shell of the mobile telephone as the solar panel. 

New nanomaterials allow the creation of energy also for drones and aircraft that are flying in the atmosphere. The most impressive systems are the things planned to use in the super- and hypersonic aircraft. 

There is the possibility that the outer shell of the aircraft is covered by using nano-size paddlewheels. The paddlewheels can involve nano-size generators. 

The construction material of those wheels or rolls can be silicone, iron fullerene hybrid. That thing makes it possible to use the airflow that covers aircraft also in electricity production. The rotating nano-size paddlewheels can also give a new type of stealth ability for the aircraft. But if the system can load electricity into the aircraft's electric system. 

And that electricity can be used in electric jet engines or the hybrid systems that boost the power of the jet engine by using the electric arc. If there is some kind of electric arc in the jet engine it helps to expand the exhaust gas. Or in the most conventional model, the system pre-warms the injected fuel. If some part of the gas expansion happens by some other energy source than combustion, that saves fuel and pollution of the aviation system.

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
