The new sandwich-type material can offer a breakthrough in superconducting technology.

The new fundamental sandwich-type material can revolutionize superconducting. The anomaly in the quantum hall effect makes electrons travel in that material without resistance. The Hall effect or resistance is the group of standing waves between electrons. The new material can remove those standing waves. It can create a homogenous power field around the wire. Image 2 shows that the Hall effect is like a wall between electric conductors. The quantum-level version is the wall between electrons. If that wall is removed, there is no resistance. 

"Researchers have developed a new “sandwich” structure material that exhibits the quantum anomalous Hall effect, enabling electrons to travel with almost no resistance at higher temperatures." (ScitechDaily, Zero Resistance Breakthrough: Meet the Quantum Sandwich Powering the Future)

"This breakthrough could significantly enhance computing power while dramatically reducing energy consumption. The structure is based on a layered approach with bismuth telluride and manganese bismuth telluride, promising faster and more efficient future electronic devices."

It's possible to create almost room-temperature superconducting conditions using 200 GPa pressure. 


Superconducting has been possible at room temperature, or in -23 C degrees. But that requires 200 GPa pressure. Leak in that kind of pressure system. Is always devastating. How to replace the pressure system? The new material can be an answer to that question.

We can think about things like making superconducting using high-pressure tools. The nanotechnology allows to creation of a small-size high-pressure chamber. The problem is: how to make that system safe?  If there is a small leak in the pressure system releases 200 GPa pressure. One of the answers could be artificial diamonds. They are used to close those high-pressure chambers inside them. 

One of the solutions can be a hollow wire. That wire is put in the channels that lasers drill into industrial diamonds. The system can press pressure in and outside the wire. And that can raise the pressure to a high enough level that the wire turns superconducting. 

In the dry-pressure superconductors, researchers will put a wire lattice between the hydraulic press. Then the system presses the lattice from both sides. Then the system can put and tie the artificial diamond over that structure. Those diamonds can keep the pressure on the wire. 

We can think of an extremely thin material that is used to press the lattice wire and stabilize its structure. The problem is how to stabilize the inner structure. One of the answers to that is the diamond. The system can press the structure into high-pressure conditions and then it can put a diamond or carbonite crystal structure around it. The diamond structure locks pressure into the wire, and that can be the tool for making dry high-pressure superconducting. The system must keep the pressure on the wire or the system fails.

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
