The other ways to make a lightweight nuclear reactor is to use radioactive gas as the fissile material.

The is the successor of the writing about Element 115, and the thing is that the new types of lightweight nuclear reactors might use another kind of nuclear isotopes than the traditional versions. I don't know how many kinetic tests have been made by using nuclear reactors, what are using radioactive gas as the fission material, but this kind of solutions might be interesting.

Also, synthetic elements like Einsteinium and Californium might be planned to use as the fuel of the nuclear reactors. In most modern nuclear reactors the bite of the really highly radioactive material would be kept in the move in the cyclotron, that the heat of that material would not warm the only one place, and that will be hoped to deny the reactor melting.

Also, radioactive gasses are an interesting choice for nuclear fuel material. But the problem is, that nobody has experience of the use of gas as the fissile material and controlling those reactors would be extremely difficult, what keeps them in theoretical level

The control of those new type of nuclear reactors, which uses radioactive gas as the fuel would happen by using the carbon atoms or fullerene. Those extremely small parts of carbon would, in theory, work by a similar way with normal carbon sticks inside the nuclear reactor. The idea is that the normal carbon filter would remove the carbon from the gas,  or the carbon ions can be separated from the radioactive ions by using magnetic separator.

In this case, the magnet, what has opposite polarity with carbon ions can pull them out from the track, and decreasing the level of carbon in the tube would increase the power of the reactor. The magnetic system would be easier to work because carbon can return to the reactor easily when the operator wants to decrease the power of the reactor, and if the carbon would not cost, that allows to adjust the power of the reactor freely. The idea is that the radioactive gas has also opposite polarity with the carbon and that would make easy to separate those things.

The magnets will hover those extremely hot and radioactive isotopes. The system might use powdered radioactive metal, but also the radioactive gas like Astatine, Radon,  Livermorium (Element 116) and Oganesson (Element 118) what is supposed to be a highly radioactive noble gas is planned to use as nuclear fuel. Ionizing those radioactive elements would happen by using electromagnetic radiation. The idea of use that kind of systems is that the magnetic accelerator would accelerate those radioactive gases or their ions to the near the speed of light. 

Then the time on the surfaces of those atoms will be stopped, and that makes possible to use those short-living radioactive elements like the fuel in the theoretical nuclear reactors, what seems like torus or donuts. The gas-form radioactive elements are an interesting thing when we are thinking the new versions of the lightweight nuclear reactors, what are in the theoretical level in this day.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials.
