Plasmonic systems are tools for new types of computing and communication.

New space missions require new types of communication. Plasmonic technology can make it possible to make more effective, and more secure data transportation protocols. The other tools are spinning micro- and radio waves. Or the system can use plasmoid channels and spintronics to create high-accurate thin-band data transmission that is protected from outside effects. 

High-speed data transportation requires systems that can protect data against outside, purpose, and non-purpose effects. In some models, the system can transport data using highly accurate maser technology and coherent radio waves that travel in radio wave vortexes or channels. The data can travel in spinning radio- or microwaves. 

Or in data transmission, the system can use (as an example) radiowaves to transmit 1 and microwaves to transmit 0. The laser rays that travel in another laser ray are also promising things. The outside channel denies outsides to see the data, that travels in the data transmission. 

"In physics, a plasmon is a quantum of plasma oscillation. Just as light (an optical oscillation) consists of photons, the plasma oscillation consists of plasmons. The plasmon can be considered as a quasiparticle since it arises from the quantization of plasma oscillations, just like phonons are quantizations of mechanical vibrations. Thus, plasmons are collective (a discrete number) oscillations of the free electron gas density. For example, at optical frequencies, plasmons can couple with a photon to create another quasiparticle called a plasmon polariton." (Wikipedia, Plasmon)

The system transforms plasma oscillation into the data that the laser wave transports. The idea is that the laser ray travels over oscillating plasma. That oscillation can make a similar image that is made in light-based computing (Above). In plasmonic systems, the plasma replaces that image. 

"Think of it like layers in an image editing application such as Adobe Photoshop: You have an input layer — source image — which can have layers placed on top, that obscure, manipulate or transmit something from the layer beneath. The output — top layer — is essentially processed by the combination of these layers. In this case, these layers will have light passed through them casting an image (hence the “casting” in diffraction casting) on a sensor, which will then become digital data for storage or presentation to the user." (ScitechDaily, From Light Waves to Logic: The Cutting-Edge of Optical Computing)

"Scientists have achieved data rates as high as 424Gbit/s across a 53-km (33-mile) turbulent free-space optical link using plasmonic modulators—devices that use special light waves called surface plasmon polaritons to control and modify optical signals. This new research establishes the foundation for high-speed optical communication links that transmit data through open air or space." (ScitechDaily, Revolutionizing Space Communication: 424Gbit/S Achieved With Cutting-Edge Plasmonic Tech)

"In physics, polaritons are quasiparticles resulting from the strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with an electric or magnetic dipole-carrying excitation." (Wikipedia, polariton)

As you see from the diagram above the plasmonic communication system looks like axons. So, plasmonic communication makes it possible to create new tools for hardware-based artificial intelligence. The plasmonic systems can emulate human axons. The ion and anion particles can act as neurotransmitters. And that thing makes the plasmonic communication more effective than we ever thought.

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
