What means the caseless cartridge?

The computer base-launching systems can install electric cannons like the famous M-61 Vulcan (1). In this case in the middle of rotating tubes would mount a camera, which is connected to the image identifier. When the computer would see the hostile target, the electric cannon opens the fire. If the camera is in the middle of the rotating tubes, the accuracy of the fire would be very high.

The caseless cartridge (2) means the case, where ammunitions shell would burn to ash during the shot. If the case of the cartridge is made by using cellulose and filled with stone gunpowder. That means that the burning gunpowder will destroy the shell. That means that there would not shells on the ground after the shot is fired.

The metal storm (3) is an ultimate weapon, which can shoot over a million rounds per minute. The problem with this system is that the ammunition is loaded in the rows of separated tubes, where they are ignited by using an electric spark.

In normal cases, the ammunition is separated in the tubes by the propellant what can be plastic explosives or stone gunpowder, which denies the need for removing shells. The computer-based launching system allows that the length of the firing bursts can order very sharply. But removing the used shells is a problem. If the system is using pre-loaded tubes, there is no problem, but if the operator should load that weapon at the field the form of the propellant is important.

Removing the spool is the thing, that causes the problem because ammunition is in a row at the tubes. But the answer to the problem of how to remove the spoon might be using the stoned gunpowder. In this case, the ammunition would load at the front of the hardened gunpowder. This denies the need for spools in the cartridge.

Another and the more conventional solution would be using the paper cartridge, which would turn ash when the gunpowder is burning. So in this case the metal storm doesn't need to remove used shells what makes it easier to use.

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
