Gyrojet pistols and rifles were created in 1960's for using the rocket ammunition. The orderer of that unique weapon was United States military and the use of rocket ammunition would eliminate the shell of the cartridge, and that could cover the shooting point, what would give the dogs smell of those soldiers. The Gyrojet-weapons were meant for special forces, what would have troubles with the shells. The ammunition would accelerate after leaving the barrel, and that would make those weapons very effective.


One of the reasons for creating this weapon was the idea, that by using rocket ammunition would the pistol and rifle have the same firepower, and also the solution, where the same weapon fits all purposes would be attractive. In some solutions, the gyrojet would equip with the extended barrel and the removable stock, what would give the same accuracy to that gun, as the rifle has. This would remove the need for two guns and ammunition, what makes loading the gun easier. And because the same weapon fits different missions it would be suitable for special forces operators, who spent weeks behind the enemy lines.



And if the weapon should carry as the sidearm and sort range purposes, those extended barrels and stocks could be removed. This Gyrojet solution was the fiasco, as you might know, and the manufacturing of this weapon stopped in 1960's. But after that have been rumors, that military forces have tested Gyrojet-type rocket bullets, what are loaded with the standard ammunition. In this solution, the rocket ammunition would be used with standard assault rifles.



The diameter of that rocket would be same as the bullet, and when the assault rifle would be launched, the shell would be thrown away as the standard ammunition. The rocket ammunition would give more sensitive acceleration for ammunition, and that would make it suitable for smart bullets. Those bullets are actually miniature missiles, what would home to target with the miniature computer. And the aiming for those bullets happens with lasers. The structure of those smart bullets are the same as guided "Copperhead" ammunition, but they are smaller. That ammunition is planned to use in the positions like hostage rescue and anti-sniper operations. In those cases, the nano-robot would mark the target with the laser ray, and then the ammunition will take the target off.

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

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...

The new observations and observation tools are revolutionizing nanotechnology and the way of thinking in physics.

ScitechDaily.com "A new study has overturned a fundamental principle of physics by demonstrating that similarly charged particles can attract each other in a solution, with the effect varying between positive and negative charges depending on the solvent. This discovery has significant implications for various scientific processes, including self-assembly and crystallization". (ScitechDaily, Opposites Attract, Likes Repel? Scientists Overturn Fundamental Principle of Physics) The research reveals the importance of solvent structure at the interface in determining interparticle interactions, challenging long-held beliefs and indicating a need for a re-evaluation of our understanding of electromagnetic forces.
