The cyborg snake

Metal Snake could research the Enceladus moon's icy surface. But that system can also have many other missions. Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) system is a robot snake that can operate the surface of an icy moon or that robot can have a microwave or some other system that can melt holes into the icy shell. There that robot can swim in the ocean under the ice of that moon. 

The robot snakes can also operate on  Earth in many scientific and military missions. Robot snakes can research underwater structures and their flexible shape allows them to go in cramped places. So that kind of system can operate in the shipwrecks. If the robot is a multipurpose tool, that is suitable for many missions that guarantee funds for that project.

The robot snakes can be equipped with infrared or chemical sensors. So they can search for chemicals and humans. The Geiger meter allows those robot snakes to search the radioactive material. When the system where segmented radiation detectors see the target, that control system aims the snake in the direction where radiation comes. 

If the robot snake is masked as a sea snake. That system can observe sea animals without disturbing them. Other animals are avoiding highly poisonous sea snakes. And that camouflage gives the robot snake the ability to observe animals. The system can have active chameleon camouflage. In that case, the invisibility cloak covers the cyborg snake, which makes it invisible.

Those robot snakes can deliver from aircraft they might act like paradise tree snakes. When a cyborg snake falls from the aerial vehicle. It will turn into a helicopter- or "S" shape. And that rotating movement slows its speed. 

If the robot snake looks like a real snake it can deliver information about the behavior of animals. The same cyborg snakes can also operate as recon and intelligence tools. The robot snake can slip inside highly secured military bases. 

And then, it can record discussions and take images of the systems. The reconnaissance cyborg snakes also can have laser microphones and other things that make them very good observation tools. But the robot snakes can have cutters that make them cut wires and make holes in barriers. Those robot snakes can also carry explosives. 

Those snakes can operate as kamikaze drones. Or they can leave explosives at the right points. The cyborg snake can slip into the computer center and explode computers. Or they can have tanks with snake poison, which makes them excellent strike tools.

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.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. 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
