The size of the space laboratory is not very big

There are many laboratories in space and the most well-known of them are laboratories of Mir, Skylab, and ISS (International Space Station) but also in deep space and planetary probes like Viking has been a small size laboratory installed in those vehicles. Also, some satellites have contained biological test capsules, which have used to test life support systems.

But the thing is that there might also make another type of biological and structural tests. The size of those laboratories is not very big, and they were made by using the 70's technology. So the question is, why X-37B cannot handle those missions, like microgravity tests by using remote control. The remote-controlled systems are saving time and money in that kind of cases.

And the thing is that kind of automatized systems can operate everywhere in the solar system, and those operations might keep secret for some special reasons, what might not uncover for great public.  The thing in remote-controlled systems is that they can operate from the safe distances by using cameras that are connected to microscopes and manipulators. Those systems can be operated from the ground station, which makes them suitable to analyze the biological material, what might be infecting the crew.

When we are looking at things like remote-controlled laboratories, they can be installed in manned space stations, by using the bearing, what allows those modules to rotate, and the thing is that there might test things, like growing food in the space. But those tests can be made also in the separated scientific satellites, and in those areas would be used many dangerous organisms. One of the things is that mushrooms are a very interesting part of the food in space stations and long-term space trips.

Mushrooms can handle waste very effectively, and that makes possible to create a closed ecosystem in the spacecraft, but there is one problem. If the mushroom would start to sprawl in a closed system, that would mean very bad problems. The air in the craft would be poisoned by the germs, and that's why those tests must be made in the closed and remote-controlled modules, where those organisms would not infect all the air and surfaces in the space station.

There are other things, which might interest other people. When we are facing cases, that somebody wants to test really dangerous organisms, like Ebola, those tests might be done in the scientific satellite, and after the tests, those systems can send to Sun, where organisms and other material, what is used in those tests will be destroyed.

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. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru
