The first test flight of X-59 QueSST




The X-59 QueSST (Quiet Supersonic Technology) demonstrator is the next generation of aircraft design. The QueSST technology means. The aircraft creates a gentler sonic boom. Because its wings are radically long and narrow delta wings, and its nose is also radically long, which makes the sonic pressure cone thinner. That technology makes the sonic boom quieter. 

The QueSST technology in X-59 is a new and radical design. All of those systems are caricatures. And the final solutions might look far different than the prototypes. The QueSST technology is one of the things. That is planned to be used. It is used in military and civil applications. If that technology is successful. It can be used in manned and unmanned systems. But that requires more work. 






The X-59 also uses fundamental technology. Where the pilot must not have windows. To see outside. The camera and other sensors replace traditional windows. And that can be useful in more advanced aircraft that operate at hypersonic speeds. The problem with hoods and windows is that they make a discontinuity in the body. 

The sensor system. That allows for the replacement of windows using sensors. Fixes the problem that can cause a situation where air pressure rips things like the hood away from the aircraft. And that makes it possible to create faster aircraft that can operate in and above the atmosphere.

Russia tests Status-6 “Poseidon” nuclear torpedo.



Status-6 or “Poseidon” is a nuclear torpedo with a liquid metal reactor. The speed of that system is at least 100 knots. That is about 186 km/h. The torpedo uses GLONASS and AI navigation systems to position it in the right position. If that system uses the 100 megaton warhead. The pressure wave can destroy the entire submarine fleet that patrols the ocean. The fact is that North Korea introduced similar nuclear torpedoes, unmanned underwater vehicles, UUV, in its military parade. 

The fact is that legitimation of those drones, or underwater nuclear missiles based on the idea of the mutual assured destruction, MAD doctrine. That means an attack against another state that has nuclear weapons. Causes destruction to both participants. This explains those weapons' huge warheads. If something destroys Russian nuclear weapons, one surviving Poseidon torpedo makes a counterstrike possible. There can also possible that there are nuclear torpedoes that look like regular torpedoes. Those small systems might have a nuclear warhead of about 1-15 kt. size.  

Those systems can have RTG, a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator that gives them an unlimited operational range. Same way as the nuclear reactor gives Poseidon an unlimited operational time. The torpedo can be launched from submarines, ships, or it can be released from a military harbour. That makes them hard targets for defenders. 

There have been. Some kind of thoughts. There are also submarine-sized fully automated underwater drones. That can involve three or four internally explodable tsar bombs, each of which is about 50 mt. size. Poseidon torpedo is about 20 meters long, but it can have a warhead. Sized 100 mt. The system uses a supercavitation propeller. In that system, the active system pumps water through the propeller. 



“Pyongyang, July 27, 2023 – Haeil-class nuclear torpedo drones feature in a North Korean military parade. (Photo via North Korean state media) (Cimsec, Radioactive Tsunamis: Nuclear Torpedo Drones and their Legality in War)

That allows the faster rotation speed for that system. The active pumping system prevents the water from boiling. And that limits the bubble formation. The active system denies the possibility that the main propeller forms a bubble around it. If the propeller forms that bubble, it loses its ability to move the craft. The active system pumps water from the propeller sides between its wings. That denies the bubble formation around the propeller. 







Status-6 Oceanic multipurpose system, also known as Kanyon or Poseidon. 


The purpose of that torpedo is to create a giant tsunami that destroys other ships and causes terrible destruction along the entire coastline. The new torpedo tells something about the despair in the Russian government. Putin says that this torpedo is unstoppable. That system is fast and equipped with nuclear explosives and a liquid metal reactor. And if something damages those torpedoes. 

That can cause nuclear pollution to spread all over the ocean. If that system detonates itself in some trenches, the pressure wave travels in those trenches over two or three years. With a force that destroys a submarine. If the Poseidon torpedo detonates, most of the life in the ocean will be swept off. The reason why Putin and his government create that kind of weapons is that they can cause very big destruction. Only one of those high-yield nuclear weapons can destroy a large area. 

And if one of them can avoid defense, that causes very large destruction. Those weapons are meant to cause fear. They are so-called mutual assured destruction, MAD weapons. If something attacks Russia, only one of those nuclear torpedoes is needed to destroy a large number of targets using only one warhead. And that gives the frightening weapon into the hands of Putin. If Putin releases those “Poseidon” torpedoes into the oceans, the defender must find all of them. If one of them detonates, the destruction is huge.

The new technology allows researchers to create quantum sensors. That can operate. In very high temperatures.



"Schematic image of a 2D sensor squeezed between two diamond anvils. Credit: Chong Zu, modified by SciTechDaily.com) (ScitechDaily, Scientists Develop “Unbreakable” Quantum Sensor Built to Survive 30,000 Atmospheres)

The quantum computer bases the quantum sensors. Those quantum sensors, called qubits, can work as a network. The morphing quantum neural network can be the most powerful computer that we have ever imagined. 

The new and powerful technology can revolutionize quantum engineering forever. When we think about optical quantum computers. There, the system controls qubits using light. Those qubits hang between the conoids. The new materials allow replacement of those conoids using the physical conoids. Those conoids were made using the nano-sized diamonds. It is possible to create a system or a sensor. That can operate under pressure. 30,000 times greater than Earth's atmosphere. 


"Scientists who study topological materials face a challenge — how to establish and maintain control of these unique quantum behaviors in a way that makes applications like quantum computing possible. In this experiment, Ames Laboratory Scientist Jigang Wang and his colleagues demonstrated that control by using light to steer quantum states in a Dirac semimetal. Credit: US Department of Energy, Ames Laboratory" (ScitechDaily, Discovery of Light-Induced Switching Mechanism Advances Optically Controlled Quantum Computation)



"Scientists at Auburn University created a new type of material where electrons can move freely across a solid surface. By arranging these electrons in different patterns, the material could one day be used to build faster computers or design better chemical reactions. Credit: Auburn University" (ScitechDaily, This Quantum Electron Breakthrough Could Make Computers Faster Than Ever Before)

The quantum sensor is between those diamonds. That thing makes it possible. To create a room-temperature superconductor. Those sensors can be used as a quantum neural network. These kinds of systems can be used to create small and compact quantum computers, which require less space than ever before. High pressure raises the superconducting temperature. The system can make new quantum supercomputers closer to the table than ever before. 

The quantum computer is not the same as the quantum sensor. Both of those systems use similar things. The quantum sensor uses the oscillation. In the low-energy atoms. Or, their quantum fields. The quantum computer transmits information between quantum points called qubits. The quantum neural network. Or a morphing quantum neural network. It is the system that transports information between quantum points. During that process, the system brings new information from outside the original data flow. 

The quantum computer doesn’t need as high an accuracy as the ultra-sensitive quantum sensor. That observes things like gravitational waves. The quantum computer requires the superconductors. Because resistance in the wire destroys information. The superconductor allows for transport. Of information in its original form. Information is the wave that travels on the shell of a wire. The resistance creates standing waves that break the quantum information.

Mushrooms can act as a vital component in the new types of computers.



“Mushrooms have long been recognized for their extreme resilience and unique properties. Their innate abilities make them perfect specimens for bioelectronics, an emerging field that, for next-gen computing, could help develop exciting new materials.” (Phys.org, Mushrooms show promise as memory chips for future computers)

Basically, any material can act as memory. Proteins are as effective as magnetic tools in storing data. In that case, the system can store information. In the waves of the protein. Those wrinkles can be one, and the lower areas between those “hills” can be zero. That is one way to store information in a form that is immune to electromagnetic radiation. The system must have the ability to read that information. And it can happen by using microscopes. 

The biological data storage. Like mushrooms and living neurons, it is one way to store data. Mushroom networks can act as data processors. As well as all other networks. Those systems can make future computers more secure than before. The problem is with the computers in the kernel and ROM (Read-Only Memory) circuits. If the ROM circuit loses its data. That makes the computer unable to operate. 


The answer to that problem can be a mechanical computer. The mechanical computer was the tool. That was used before electronic computers. Electronic computers were more multi-use tools. Than mechanical systems. But nanotechnology. Makes it possible to create compact systems. Those mechanical computers can be used to restore ROM circuits if they have lost their programming. 

“As one example, researchers from The Ohio State University recently discovered that common edible fungi, such as shiitake mushrooms, can be grown and trained to act as organic memristors, a type of data processor that can remember past electrical states.” (Phys.org, Mushrooms show promise as memory chips for future computers)


The thing. That makes the new study. To use mushrooms as computers is that those networks are used as the RAM (Read-Access Memory). Mushrooms are forming networks. In the same way as neurons do. That makes them. Able to act as the living network. Mushroom networks are tools. That gives new abilities to computers. In those tests, researchers connected electrodes to different points of the network. In those cases. Researchers used mushrooms’ mycelium. That formed a network structure between electrodes. 

“After two months, the team discovered that when used as RAM – the computer memory that stores data – their mushroom memristor was able to switch between electrical states at up to 5,850 signals per second, with about 90% accuracy. However, performance dropped as the frequency of the electrical voltages increased, but much like an actual brain, it could be fixed by connecting more mushrooms to the circuit.” (Phys.org, Mushrooms show promise as memory chips for future computers)

Mushroom networks are things that can be more promising than living neurons. Living mushrooms don’t require similar nutrients to neurons. There is also a possibility. To use dry or killed fungi. That makes it possible to create new types of electronics. But there is a possibility of using the genetically engineered fungus. That also gives electricity. To the computers.

Quantum teleportation over the internet.


"A 25-year quantum puzzle is solved, bringing teleportation closer to reality. Achieving the entanglement measurement of the W state. Credit: KyotoU / Takeuchi lab" (ScitechDaily, Scientists Capture W State, Unlocking Quantum Teleportation)


Quantum teleportation comes to reality. In large-scale systems. Researchers controlled the so-called W state. This makes the large-scale quantum teleportation possible. The W state is an entangled quantum state of three qubits. (Wikipedia, W State). 

That thing is very important in quantum networks and quantum processors. The ability to control the W state. Makes it possible to transport information faster than ever before. To make scalable quantum computers that can operate over the internet, we must make a quantum network. If we think that the quantum network is the light cable.

Each optical fiber string transports one state of a qubit. The system can be based on the particle accelerators that can transport the qubit itself through the system. The idea is that the photon or electron that is turned into a qubit travels through the quantum tunnel, which can be the hollow optical fiber. If information travels in a hollow laser ray. Where the data transporter laser ray travels in a hollow laser ray. If somebody tries to eavesdrop on that data, it causes a disturbance in the laser beam that surrounds the data transporter laser ray. 

That is surrounded by a Faraday cage. Another way is to transport information through the nanotube that is in the Faraday cage. This protects the coherent radio wave from outside effects. And also denies outsiders from touching the coherent radio beam. The coherent radio beam can also travel. In a hollow optical channel. This makes it harder. To put an antenna in the data channel. 


In ideal systems, quantum teleportation will be made over the existing infrastructure. 


Quantum teleportation over the Internet makes secure communication more feasible. In quantum teleportation, the system connects information in a physical structure. And that makes the quantum networks unable to break. Quantum teleportation refers to a situation. Where information travels between two particles that are in a superposition. In quantum teleportation, the system sends information through a quantum tunnel. Through the system. When information travels like a string through that quantum tunnel, no outsider can touch it. 

If somebody touches that information carrier, the information is lost. And this makes quantum teleportation safe. But in the same way. It's hard to make. Because information must be protected against outside effects. There is a possibility of making quantum teleportation using hollow laser beams. The outside laser beam protects the information carrier. The hollow optical fibers that travel in a so-called Faraday cage can make the quantum network possible. If we mean a system that teleports information through it.

Quantum teleportation through the air requires a so-called acoustic wormhole. The complicated system must create a vacuum channel through the air. Then the system must use the hollow laser rays. That can be infrared, UV, and X-ray lasers to transmit data through the air. The X-ray laser system can transmit data through the wall. And these kinds of systems can make the next level of safe communication possible. 

But there is another way. To make the quantum networks. The system can cut the data flow into pieces and send those pieces using different routes. If somebody wants to eavesdrop on the network, the eavesdroper must know every route that the system uses. The system can also send data in mixed form. The data package can have the register number. That includes information about. Which entirety does it belong to? 

Then the data must have information about its place in the data flow. Or data package row. That information can be encrypted. The encryption can happen by calculating. more numbers to those serial numbers. Those numbers can be added. Using plus, minus, multiplication, and division. The system must only know what type of calculations and what numbers the system used. But without that information. The attacker cannot put those pieces into the right order.

The lab-grown neurons give electricity to microchips.


"A new computer based on human neurons could advance treatments for brain-related diseases. (Image credit: koto_feja/Getty Images)" (ScienceAlert)


The thing. What makes CL-1 special is that. The system is a neuron-microchip hybrid.  The system uses lab-grown neurons. To give energy to microchips. The CL-1 is a so-called “wet computer”. That system uses lab-grown neurons as a power source, and such systems can bring more impressive AI-based systems into reality. The neuron is a good tool to deliver electricity to microchips. The new nanotechnological chips require very low voltage. The nanotechnical microchips are very small. 

And the big problem is that. Electricity jumps over switches and routers. That makes those systems. Hard to create. The nanotechnological microchip can have the switches. That size is only a couple of atoms, and those systems require very low voltage. A living neuron that is grown in laboratories. 

It can solve the microchip’s energy problem. The nanotechnological microchips are tools. Those are required in the new AI-processors. The microcircuits operate as pairs, like real neurons. Those microchip pairs surround algorithms as a loop inside those microchip pairs. The system involves multiple microchip pairs. 


Allow for driving multiple algorithms. At the same time. The ability to connect microchips with living neurons. Gives the possibility to create new types of computers. The microchip can transmit data between neurons. And the microchip. And make a similar loop with neurons or microchips. 

The microchip that can transmit information into brain cells can also make it possible to create systems that transport information into neurons after brain injury. Cloned neurons. Those that are lab-grown can be injected into human brains. And the microchips can transmit data to those neurons. The problem is that this kind of system works only if the needed information is stored somewhere. 

That can use similar nutrients to humans. These types of systems are flexible and effective. Then we can think about the systems that we can call “Brain in the jar”, we can make a system that is the brain, connected to the computer. 

The system can transport information into the brain by stimulating the cerebral cortex. These types of technology can also benefit in other ways. Like fixing neural damage. The problem with neural damage is that. Those cells that are lost also lose their information. But the big problem is. How to get information that the system must restore.

The “golden dome” satellites face a big threat.

Artist's vision of Dream Chaser


One of the reasons why the Reagan-era Space Defense Initiative (SDI) terminated was simply this. Orbital space weapons were easy targets for the high-flying ASAT systems. Those systems could be large rockets. Like Soyuz-FG, which shoots a large number of small kinetic energy projectiles. Against those space weapons. The system must shoot only metal balls against those killer satellites. And that destroys them immediately. 

Technology advanced from the Reagan era. And there are new reusable rockets that can send things like miniature killer satellites to follow things. Like suspected orbital bombardment satellites. The fractional orbital bombardment systems (FOBS) are the most terrifying weapons on this planet. Those killer satellites send nuclear weapons against their targets from an orbital trajectory. The other systems are the EMP weapons that can be hidden in satellites. When those satellites are in the right position, the nuclear weapon inside them will be detonated. Those kinds of systems can destroy. The main components of the defense. Things like miniature stealth shuttles, miniature satellites. The miniature satellites can be capable. To form a bigger structure. The system can connect those satellites. Into a series, and if there is a railgun installed in the system, those miniature satellites can form a powerful entirety. 

Soyuz-FG


Reusable rockets can be used to return those systems back on Earth if they need some service. Those systems can also be used to kill satellites that are suspected to carry FOBS systems. The FOBS system can be a miniature shuttle that dives against its target in hypersonic speed. The stealth versions of the Dream Chaser, or X-37B shuttle. It can be the tool that can destroy the killer satellites. Or miniature satellites can follow those suspected FOBS satellites. The new satellites could also deliver things. Like drones over the target areas. Those drones can be used the AI to search and terminate their targets. Autonomous killer drones that drop from satellites can also be suitable for assassination missions. 

In the Soviet era. There was a plan. To protect missile silos by using metal rods. Those metal rods could be effective against incoming missiles. Or, that’s what the Soviets thought. They created the metal-rod-based active protection system (APS). That was quite similar to the  lighter APS systems, which should protect the tanks against incoming missiles and ammunition. The metal-rod-based defense was innovative. And there are plans. To use similar systems. Against drones. But as we know, the problem with those systems is the limited number of metal rods. Those metal rods could also be tools for attacking weapons. The USA planned to make the “rods of god” the orbital-based kinetic bombardment system. 




That system was planned to use metal rods. Those were shot against their targets from orbital satellites. The railguns and the gas-operating launching system can accelerate those metal rods to very high speeds. Those rods would melt in the atmosphere. And there were melted metal droplets that would drop to the ground. The system would use the chamber, where oxygen and hydrogen were blown to send the metal rod through the magnetic accelerator. The system can use a nuclear reactor or solar panels. To give energy to that railgun. In some visions, the rocket can launch a cannon at orbiter. That shoots 155mm concrete-filled ammunition to ground. Those kinds of artificial meteorites can be devastating if they hit something. 

There were also. Some plans to use the metal rods as an offensive weapon. The nuclear warheads could be shot at their targets with metal rods. Those metal rods that fly ahead of the nuclear warheads can destroy incoming anti-ballistic missiles (ABM). And in some other plans, the orbital killer satellites would be good targets for metal balls and metal rods that shot against them using ICBM missiles. Those missiles will transport small metal balls or metal rods to the orbiter. And those things can destroy the orbital battle stations. Orbital battle satellites are a large system. They are vulnerable to the other killer satellites. The miniature satellites can carry small metal bullets. Those systems can be quite small. And they can orbit the Earth in the opposite direction to the targeted satellites. When a miniature satellite recognizes its target, it can shoot metal rods or metal balls at it.
