The new nanolattice metamaterials are game-changing in stealth technology.

The simplest way to make stealth technology is to create material that absorbs energy. Energy is wave movement, and the material should deny the reflection. But the problem with energy absorption is that material should move that energy somewhere. 

One thing that could help with that thing is the hole or channel that is in the middle of the craft. The system can use the thermal pump to create a situation where the energy travels inside the structure. There the airflow or laser ray will conduct it to wanted direction. 

Chinese scientists developed a new nanolattice material, that can absorb energy. The ability to absorb energy is one of the most important things in stealth technology. The nanolattice materials can store energy in themselves. 

And that thing makes it possible that energy doesn't reflect from the material. That means the material can conduct energy in the wanted direction. Or it can store energy in itself. Black color is one of the most well-known things that absorb light. The problem with the black color is that its temperature rises.

The new nanolattice material is based on the idea that the material is made of fibers. That thing maximizes the complexity of the structure. That material has a maximum possible surface area in multiple layers that causes a situation where reflection from the fibers of that material jumps inside that structure. 

Every time the radiation reflects from those fibers it hits another fiber. And that fiber pulls a little part of reflection in itself. The idea is that echo cannot continue forever. Sooner or later, the structure pulls all wave movement in itself. 


If material stores energy in it, that rises the free energy level in the system.  Free energy is the thing that destroys the material structure.  Free energy makes the destruction because it starts resonance in all atoms in the molecule. The resonance means that atoms are sending radiation that pushes other atoms away. 

And also standing waves between atoms are pushing wave movement to those atoms. And finally, that thing destroys material structures. That is the problem with material that suppose to absorb energy. If energy waves hit it, that increases the energy level of those atoms. 

When somebody makes material that should absorb energy, the only thing that can make the thing is to dump that energy somewhere. If the energy-absorbing material cannot put its energy load somewhere that causes destruction. 

No material can stand limitless energy increase. Sooner or later, the material starts, to transmit energy overload to its environment. And in that process, the energy that travels outside forms empty holes between atoms. That is the situation where energy from outside gets access between those atoms. And that thing rips those structures in pieces.

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.

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
