Argonne Laboratory works with nano-size cryotrons that act as superconductivity switches.

Small-size cryotrons that can switch superconductivity on and off are tools that can make the particle accelerators more effective. The problem with regular magnetic systems is that in some cases, like Muon G-2 anomalies, the particle accelerator's magnetic field can cover the magnetic effect of accelerating particles. 

Particle accelerators collect data from collisions of the particles using optical, magnetic, and magneto-chemical sensors. The newest sensors are cloud chambers. That system should analyze particles that travel in it. And the new types of cloud chambers use quantum gas. That makes them more effective than traditional cloud chambers. 

The magnetic field must have precise strength so that it can detect some changes in the particles. And their energy levels. If the magnetic field is too weak, the system cannot see details in the impacts. Too strong a magnetic field turns subatomic particles or subparticular interactions back in the magnetic mainframe. 

When atoms and ions are interacting in particle accelerators the problem is that those ions and anions are entireties. All particles interact separately but those interactions happen in a short period. Another thing is that the electrons and positrons are elementary particles, but there are also internal structures in those particles. The system must have a very accurate magnetic field. That it can get data from those internal structures. 

The ultra-small details in interactions require new tools. Those traditional sensors like bubble chambers and wire chambers had enough accuracy to analyze things like antimatter-matter interactions. Those sensors saw flashes of impact. Then the traditional sensors followed the tracks that particles left in vapor or something like that. 

The Higgs Boson changed this game. Those short-living particles told that there is at least one particle, that the systems must find so that researchers can complete their Standard model. The problem in those very short-living particles is that the flash or energy impulse from the collimation covers their existence. Those particles remain only for a short moment. And they cannot come out from the flash.

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
