The new way to make large and clean 2D materials can bring new winds to civil and military systems.

A large graphene layer that covers aircraft or other vehicles can give ultimate strength to the layer. The problem with graphene and other 2D materials is that they need the 2D structure and single-atom layers for working perfectly. Researchers can put a graphene layer on the metal layer and separate it from the metal using nanotubes. 

And then another graphene layer will be installed on the first layer. The DNA molecules can act as nano springs between those layers. Those nano springs can take impact energy in their structure. And then that material can make it possible to create a new type of nano-armor. 

But there is the possibility that the nano-diamonds or some other nano-antennas can install in those graphene layers. The nanotubes can keep those antennas in position. If the system conducts electricity with opposite polarity into those antennas. That thing can make the electric arc and even destroy incoming asteroids or other ammunition. 

It is possible to use 2D material for increasing the engine's power during spaceflight. Ion engines shoot ions through the graphene web. And then the graphene is aimed at an electric impulse that rises the energy level of those ions.

In the most futuristic versions of the ion systems the graphene layer is full of antennas that look like nano-size pins. There are formed skyrmions around those antennas and then those spinning skyrmions drive ions in the wanted direction. 

The 2D microchips can make it possible to create a cannon that can shoot miniature satellites to the orbiter. The 2D microchips can resist more powerful recoil than 3D microchips. 

The 2D microchips are coming. The 2D microchips allow the creation of extremely lightweight systems. But another thing is that 2D microchips allow the creation of microcomputers that can resist extremely fast acceleration. So the 2D microchips allow creating the smart grenades which electronic components can resist extremely powerful recoil. 

And maybe the 2D microchips are making it possible to complete the human's dream about cannon that can shoot satellites into the orbiter. Normally people say that the satellite's components cannot resist the "orbiter cannons" recoil. But the 2D microchips resist more powerful recoil than normal microchips. 

There are more than one useful ideas where researchers can use 2D materials. The problem with those materials is that their product is very hard there is a possibility to cover the layer by using graphite, and then the laser removes extra atom layers from that layer forming graphene.

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
