MOXIE successfully made water on Mars

Mars is far away from Earth. And if the researchers can make something necessary on that planet, that thing makes all missions to that planet easier. The oxygen is needed for breathing in manned missions. But also oxygen is needed in unmanned missions.

It can use in fuel cells that making possible to operate at nightside without nuclear systems. The water can break into hydrogen and oxygen which are excellent fuel for rockets and fuel cells. Those systems can also decrease the need to use nuclear systems.

The solar panels can use to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. And that kind of system is decreasing the need to use nuclear fuel. So nuclear reactors can work longer before operators must change the nuclear fuel elements. This makes those missions cheaper.

In visions, the samples from Mars are taken to Earth by using a small rocket that looks like an MGM-52 Lance missile. Or at least that rocket is based on the technology developed for the Lance missile.

Those hydrocarbons can use as fuel in rockets that are shot to the Mars orbiter. When we are thinking about the most challenging part of the Mars colony is the support of that colony. Of course, nuclear engines can use in interplanetary flights. But the system must rise the merchandise to the Mars orbiter where nuclear rockets are waiting for that cargo.

The cargo from Mars will of course involve minerals but also crews must change after a certain time. The manned colony can use the biowaste to create methane for rockets and shuttles that are rising to the Mars orbiter.

Mars-planet must be mapped very accurately before we can build the base on Mars. There is always the possibility that there is carbon dioxide ice under the Martian surface. Even small energy impacts can vaporize that carbon dioxide and cause dangerous situations.

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
