The SLAC National Acceleration Laboratory created the most powerful X-ray laser.

    The SLAC National Acceleration Laboratory created the most powerful X-ray laser. 


Researchers are developing X-ray lasers because they offer new abilities for information, weapons, and material research. In communication tools X-ray lasers can use technology where the system sends highly accurate X-ray impulses to the two receivers. When the X-ray beam hits receiver A it gives a value of 1 (one). And when the X-ray beam hits receiver B the value could be zero (0). 

That kind of system requires AI-based kernels. But X-ray systems can communicate through walls. And that radiation is very hard to capture. So X-ray lasers provide a new and secure communication tool and they also can be used in photonic computing. The problem is that there are no mirrors that can reflect X-rays, and that makes X-ray lasers hard to develop.

"The linac is equipped with two world-class helium cryoplants. One of these cryoplants, built specifically for LCLS ( Linac Coherent Light Source)-II, cools helium gas from room temperature all the way down to its liquid phase at just a few degrees above absolute zero, providing the coolant for the accelerator.

The most powerful X-ray laser is starting its actions. The system called Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is the free-electron X-ray laser that can make coherent X-ray impulses. Those high-accurate impulses can be used to research atoms and make high-accurate R&D work with fundamental materials. 

The system can send millions of X-ray flashes in seconds. And that makes it possible to use that system in X-ray-based rapatronic technology. In that technology, the X-ray system uses X-ray movie cameras for collecting data from objects. The X-ray movie cameras are the cameras that use X-ray films. And they can observe the material's development. The X-ray rapatronic camera is a rapatronic camera that was developed for research nuclear tests. 

And in X-ray-based technology, those rapatronic cameras use X-ray films. Researching the internal structures of atoms and molecules requires very high-accurate X-ray impulses. The new X-ray lasers can be the most accurate systems that can follow the processes where crystals are forming. The thing is that there are many ways to create X-ray systems, and one of them is to use free electron lasers. The free electron lasers are particle accelerators where electrons travel meandering. Whenever an electron changes its direction it sends a photon. 

The benefit of free-electron lasers is this: the system can adjust the wavelength of their radiation. It is also possible to use cathode tubes that send radiation emission into the X-ray beam that travels in the middle of the system. So the system looks like the LRAD. The problem with cathode-based, solid-state systems is that they do not have enough high accuracy for high-class scientific work. However, weapon applications can use those X-ray lasers.

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 ...
