The first habitable-zone Earth-sized planet has found by TESS

The first habitable-zone Earth-sized planet has found by TESS ( Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) has been found the Earth-sized exoplanet at the habitable zone of the star. The star is an M-type star, what surface temperature is about 3000 kelvin and that means the planet is locked, and it turns always the same side to the star. The name of the planet is TOI-700d, and the planet is a potential host for life. So the name of the star is TOI-700 and there are three planets. The surface temperature of TOI-700d is about 268 kelvin (-5,5 C).

If there is liquid water on the surface of that planet, it would create clouds, what might keep its surface temperature lower at the dayside, and if there is an atmosphere, what is another requirement for the life, that means that the cold nightside will cool the temperature of the planet. So there is a possibility that the planet is hosting some kind of lifeforms.

When we are thinking about the M-type dwarfs the planets of their habitable zone are locked. The M-type stars are also flare-stars, which means that they are erupting sometimes very hard. But the fact is that those planets that are hosting life should have an atmosphere, liquid water, and magnetic field.

So the clouds that are rising from the water are cooling the dayside. And the freezing nightside can keep the temperature of that planet lower. The last thing is that the magnetic field would also push the particles coming from the star away from the surface of that planet. The flares of the flare stars are seeming impressive, but the eruptions are not lasting a very long time. And the surface temperature of the star is very low, so we cannot just copy the data of the Sun to that star and its planets.

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

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper? The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown. But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull. The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting armor has
