The next-generation camouflage mimics cephalopods’ color-changing ability.

There are two ways to make the camouflage that makes objects chameleons. The first one is the active system. There are cameras on the opposite side of the object, and then the system transmits the image to the opposite side of the protected system. The purpose of that thing is to make the system hollow.

The problem with active camouflage is that objects must merge with the background, not with things that are in front of them. AI, along with nanotechnology, makes it possible to create large, very accurately controlled structures. And that thing makes it possible to create nanoballs, which are crystals that have different colors on each side. Then the computer simply turns the right side of that crystal in the desired direction.

The next-generation camouflage bases are extremely small nano swimmers. The nano swimmer is in a small ball, and the radiation changes direction. But if the cube-form crystal is a dry nanoball hanging in the nano-size axles, that allows the system to control that thing better. In ideal systems, each of those nanoballs has its individual nano-size microprocessor that controls every part of the system separately. The ability to control the crystal and adjust the side that it turns toward the observer can be used in the next-generation screens.

The idea is that the nanotechnology behind this chameleon structure is changing the color of the active color pigment as light impacts it. Theoretically, color-changing active paint pigments are quite easy to make using nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology requires electricity. And there are many possibilities for making electricity for the nanosystems that are controlling the camouflage. One version is that one side of the nanocube is the solar panel. When the system's power is low, it turns the photovoltaic side outside. And that makes the same system able to load batteries. There could be nano-size generators in the suit, and of course, the user can use batteries that are on the belt. The computing system can be found in the multiple microprocessors around the canvas where those nanostructures are.

There is a sphere, and in the structure, there are three colors that make up the colors in the color TV. Then there must be something that turns the right side of the color-changing structure in the direction where radiation comes from. That system can be connected to nano-LEDs that are used to determine the color of the camouflage. And that new Chinese invention can be used to give a matte finish to LED-based systems.

Those rotating crystals are one possibility. How to make a passive system that copies images from around it. There is a possibility that this Chinese camouflage requires some kind of LED light so that it can create the background image of the object. Those chameleon systems are always interesting. And AI and small computers, along with new power sources, are making those kinds of systems more powerful than ever before.

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
