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.

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.

(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
