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.

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.

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
