Femtosecond lasers can manipulate graphene.

Manipulating graphene and its shape is urgent for making that 2D carbon structure a useful tool for different purposes and components. The femtosecond lasers can make holes for different types of components in the graphene layer. The problem with 2D carbon and other 2D materials is this.

Those materials lose their abilities in 3D structure. There is a possibility to make multi-layer graphene but in that case, those layers must be separated from each other by using the DNA bites that act as nano springs or fullerene-nanotube towers.

But in that case, there must be some kind of place. Where engineers can install those auxiliary nanostructures. The thing that makes graphene interesting is that is pure carbon. That makes it possible to create mono-frequency radiation by stressing that carbon structure with electromagnetic radiation.

Researchers can use these kinds of things in communication tools and even in electromagnetic levitation tests. The idea is in those tests the system creates mono-frequency electromagnetic oscillation that turns to pressure signals which push those objects above.

If there is a hole in the graphene layer, and a laser ray will shoot through it that system can act like a thermal pump. The laser ray will pull energy out from the graphene layers. And that thing might make it possible to create new and powerful microprocessors. If a laser ray will shoot through the multi-layer graphene that thing will cool the surface, and then it can use for making the infrared signature lower.

Theoretically is a very easy thing to cover even large layers using graphene. The problem is that graphene must be separated from the layer for maximum benefit. The separated graphene layer connected with the metal layer by using the nano-springs makes the new type of system possible. The graphene can act as nano-armor and those nano-springs will receive part of the impacts that affect that 2D nanolayer.

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
