Light can vaporize water without heat.

MIT researchers found a new photo-molecular phenomenon. That light can vaporize water without heat. There has been suspicion that this kind of phenomenon exists. But this is the first evidence of that phenomenon. Light inputs energy into atoms, and then those atoms release extra energy into their environment.

Photo vaporization releases vapor from the water surface. Atoms release energy that they get into another atom. At the point of the surface tension, the water molecules resonate when light inputs energy to them. That forms standing waves between those water molecules, and then that energy starts to drive water molecules up. This effect is possible if the light affects all water molecules on the surface. In that case, there is no space where energy can travel.

Developers can use photo vaporization to make purified water.

That effect makes space around the atoms. And it separates water molecules from their entirety. The effect. Where light vaporizes water without heat looks a little bit like a photovoltaic phenomenon. This effect can help to determine the age of the icy shell of distant moons. A similar effect should happen when radiowaves hit the ice.

If visible light can vaporize water, that phenomenon can used to produce a very low-pressure gas. In that process, the ice is in a vacuum chamber and that light effect will separate a couple of molecules from ice. This phenomenon can used to calculate the changes in the electromagnetic environment in distant moons.

This effect can also escalate to other wavelengths. And maybe this effect explains why some very cold moons like Triton have thin atmospheres. Gas pressure on Triton is very low. It's between 1 and 2 pascals.

Mainly that atmosphere includes nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. The last gas can form when radiation pushes oxygen and carbon atoms together. An interesting thing about that atmosphere is that the gas that forms it is in a condition that looks like quantum gas. The distance between atoms and molecules is very long.

When radiation hits those atoms they send radiation that travels longer than on Earth. The low-pressure gas is the tool that makes atomic microscopes possible. Also, the low-pressure gas can measure similar gas atoms from distances. If there is a low-pressure oxygen gas in the chamber, another oxygen atom sends radiation that causes resonance in those low-pressure atoms.

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.

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
