The metasurface tractor beam.


"Researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, TMOS have developed a metasurface-enabled solenoid beam that can pull particles towards it, potentially revolutionizing non-invasive medical procedures like biopsies. This technology, which uses a thin layer of nanopatterned silicon, offers a lightweight, portable alternative to the bulky equipment previously required for such beams.

The acoustic tractor beam is like a tornado. The system must have a hole in the plate and the phonons or some other acoustic systems. Those are on rotating plates and must make the whirl. 

The whirl closes the space inside it. The whirl denies the air channel fill from inside it, and then it forms the chimney where the air flows upwards. That kind of system requires, that there is a lower pressure area on the other side of the system. 

Multilayer systems make it possible to create low-pressure areas between plates. That increases the system's power. And then the tornado just pulls things in it. The idea is that there is a targeted structure like a whirl that pulls objects in the wanted direction. The thing that makes this structure tractor-ray is that air flows in it, as it flows in a vacuum cleaner. 

The phonons that send sound waves to every side of the structure can create the needed vacuum. The phonones can send acoustic waves simultaneously. And that helps to keep the low pressure in that structure where the objects travel in the air tube. This kind of system can remove dirt from surfaces. 

The electromagnetic tractor beams require that there is almost zero energy point. Then the hollow laser ray will be shot around that  0 K point, and that laser ray causes the effect, where energy starts to travel to the 0K point in the bottom of this ray. 

The coherent radiation travels like strings, and there should not be standing waves in the middle of the laser rays. The standing ray forms because of scattering. In long-distance models, the system must clean air using water or something like that to deny standing wave formation. 

So outside energy pushes particles in that channel. And that kind of system is a fantastic tool for submolecular- or subatomic technology.

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
