Self-growing graphene is a next-generation way to make that ultimate material.

Carbon is a key material in nanotechnology.

Carbon plays a vital role in nanotechnology. The compounds between extremely long and complicated molecules are easy to make between carbon atoms. Things like graphene can use in base layers. Researchers can use that material in nanomachine trunks. Along with fullerene nanotubes, those structures can form nano-size legos. The fullerene nanotubes and fullerene balls can use as axles and joints of nano-size robots.

Graphene is an ultimate material, and if self-growing 2D graphene crystals are possible to create, that makes a revolution in material research. There is more and more use for the 2D-carbon with one carbon atom layer. And that means graphene must produce more and more.

Graphene grows. And that is one of the most interesting observations in material technology. Graphene is a 2D lattice of carbon atoms, and carbon has the ability that carbon atoms can reduce carbon. That means that carbon atoms can separate carbon from compounds. That effect allows the creation self-growing carbon graphene layer.

We know that we can grow crystals in liquid, and things like diamonds are also crystals. The diamond is carbon's amorphic form. And the same way there is a possibility to grow 2D carbon structures called graphene. Graphene is the 2D single-atom layer of carbon. Creating graphene from graphite is theoretically quite an easy thing.

The laser just planes extra atom layers away from graphite. And that leaves the 2D atomic structure. But if the graphene structure can turn to self-growing. That makes this process easier.

"Graphene is a revolutionary material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, offering incredible strength, conductivity, and flexibility. Its unique properties make it a promising candidate for various applications, from electronics and energy storage to medicine and environmental solutions".

Above: The atom structure of diamond makes that form suitable for scanning tunneling microscopes. And that thing allows us to aim wave movement with extremely high accuracy. If the vertex-carbon will put oscillation or wave movement travel through a fullerene tube, that allows the creation of an extremely accurate acoustic or electromagnetic system.

There are multiple uses for this 2D material. The 2D nanomaterials allow covering layers by using the one-atom carbon layer. That layer can make it extremely hard. In some ideas graphene can act as a knife, that can use to cut extremely small-size diamonds.

In those systems, the electricity will put to travel between diamond and graphene. And then the electricity will transfer carbon atoms from nano-diamonds to graphene. Nano-diamonds are small carbon atom groups that can use in scanning tunneling microscopes. Those things can also use to push atoms on the layers. The idea is that the nano-diamond will put to oscillate.

In some models, nano-diamond along with fullerene tubes can act as miniaturized coherent acoustic devices. In that system, the nano-diamond will be put in a fullerene tube. And then it will put to oscillate. In the same way, the carbon atoms in the fullerene tube will put to oscillate. That oscillation presses the soundwave to coherent mode, which can use as a "billiard stick" that pushes atoms and molecules on the layer.

And that acoustic system can use to transfer wanted molecules and atoms. The nano-diamond also can use as an antenna, that will conduct electromagnetic radiation in the wanted direction. That system can use in nano-size microprocessors.

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
