Nanoprinters revolutionize material research.

The difference between the nanostructures and regular structures is that the nanostructures and nanomaterials are created atom by atom. If we think about the titanium bricks that the next text handles the nano-version is similar. Only the size of the objects that create the structure is different. The nano-size structures are like atom chains. They can raise the strength of the material to a very high level. 

The nanotubes can involve other materials than carbon. The ion systems can make it possible to put some other atoms and molecules between graphene nanotubes. Those other atoms are making that structure stronger. Because they allow carbon atoms can load energy into those pockets. 




This is the reason why carbon gives strength to steel. The Damascus steel involves fullerene, where iron can dump energy when it hits something. The fullerene nanotubes can conduct impact energy out of steel. And the fullerene can also be put in titanium material, where titanium replaces steel. That thing allows to creation of the Damascus titanium alloy. 

Researchers created a very hard titanium structure that is also very light. The idea is that this titanium network or 3D structure using nano-printers gives strength and lightness. The 3D structure has a lot of space and is also lightweight. Because there is space between those titanium structures. That makes it able to deliver impact energy to that space. The nanotechnical titanium bricks can be small in size. And that structure denies the damage to growth. 

This kind of lightweight structure can used in ground and aerial vehicles and in things like submarines. It's nanoversion can used in things. Like firerm strutures. The best solution would be the thin composite armor there is one layer is about one or two atom layers. Then that titanium structure will be below it.

The network structure can used in submarines there that structure can also deny echoes. And the modern lightweight titanium composite armor could look like the thing that is seen in the second image from the top. There could be titanium or some other very strong material outside. 

That material can be graphene, polymer, and titanium composite, where those layers are like in hamburgers.  And then the titanium structure is in the middle of those plates. Titanium structure can replaced using an "altermagnetic" structure.

If that outside plate lets sonar impulses travel through it, that system can also deny the acoustic echo. When radar impulses hit that structure that thing can also cause the situation. Their radio impulses start to jump between those metal wires. And that makes material invisible to radar. In that system, electricity is transported from the upper layer to the lower layer, and the system should only deny the echo. 

The idea is that the system can deny echo simply by transporting electricity from the upper layer to the lower layer. The new state of magnetism called "Altermagnetism" is one of the things that can make things like antimagnetic structures possible. The structure in those titanium bricks can replaced using an altermagnetic structure. In that structure is no outside magnetic field. And that thing makes it possible to create antimagnetic structures for submarines and aircraft. The "Altermagntism" denies the use of magnetic sensors to detect submarines.

Researchers think that the multiverse is not fiction anymore.

Multiverse means that our universe is one of many universes. The reason why researchers and scientists believe that this is true is that logical. About 50 years ago people didn't know that there were other solar systems. Exoplanets were only theories in the 80's.  About 400 years ago people thought that our Sun was the only star in the universe. Edvin Hubble proved that our galaxy, Milky Way is one of many galaxies. Then researchers found that galaxies form groups, and supergroups. That means that today we think that the universe, where we live is the ultimate supergroup of galactic supergroups. And logically thinking there should be other universes. We believe that the universe began its existence in an event or series of events called the Big Bang. That event did not begin, because the energy that formed material should come from somewhere. The Big Bang was not one "bang" or explosion. It was a series of events where material took form. Or the energy level that it h...

Spinning cylinders prove a 50-year-old physics problem.

"Scientists at the University of Southampton have experimentally proven the Zel’dovich effect by amplifying electromagnetic waves using a spinning metal cylinder, confirming a theoretical prediction from the 1970s and opening new avenues in technology and quantum physics.

Using relatively simple equipment – a resonant circuit interacting with a spinning metal cylinder – and by creating the specific conditions required, we have now been able to do this.” (ScitechDaily, 50-Year-Old Physics Theory Proven for the First Time With Electromagnetic Waves) Researchers amplified electromagnetic waves using spinning metal cylinders.

What makes it hard to create a room-temperature superconductor?

"The discovery of wave-like Cooper pairs in Kagome metals introduces a new era in superconductivity research, offering potential for innovative quantum devices and superconducting electronics, driven by theoretical predictions and recent experimental validations. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Kagome Metals Unlocked: A New Dimension of Superconductivity) "Superconductivity is a set of physical properties observed in superconductors: materials where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic fields are expelled from the material. Unlike an ordinary metallic conductor, whose resistance decreases gradually as its temperature is lowered, even down to near absolute zero, a superconductor has a characteristic critical temperature below which the resistance drops abruptly to zero. An electric current through a loop of superconducting wire can persist indefinitely with no power source" (Wikipedia, Superconductivity) Theoretically, a superconducting electric circu...
