Modern sea mines are very devastating devices

Sea mines have been very effective weapons against ships and submarines. The similar magnet- and horn sea mines are still using, what was used in the First World War, but the advantages in materials like using composites in the cores of mines make those weapons more dangerous because composite core would not be detected by using magnets. Also, computers are allowed to make so-called smart mines, what detonates only near enemy major surface combatants or submarines.


 Some of those mines have the nuclear detonator, what makes them capable to destroy the entire battle group. In those cases, the mines can use voice compilation and SONARS, what detects the form of the target, and then those weapons would be detonated. They can be delivered from aircraft, surface ships, and submarines.


Some of them are actually very advanced torpedos, what uses RTG or some other long-term propulsion. Those torpedos can deliver to the sea even from the opposite coast of the ocean, and they can travel near any harbor on Earth. They can lay on the floor of the ocean, and if the war would begin, they can be detonated immediately. Those systems can change place if they were suspected to detect, and they can also hit submarines and their bases by driving near the target. And then those torpedos can explode their nuclear warheads. The tsunami would be very devastating, and the nuclear submarine base could be destroyed.


When we are thinking about another modern advantage in those mines, the electromagnetic warhead, that would increase the capacity to damage vessels. If the normal horn sea mine would be equipped similar system, that is used in EMP-bombs, would that cause damages for more units than one. The EMP-mine works like the explosive would pressure the battery. That electricity is conducting to the transmitter, what would give a very powerful radio or microwave.


The EMP-mines are very dangerous because they induct high voltage electricity to submarines core. Some devices are planned to be the modified machine used in demining magnet mines. Those systems are basically similar than those demining systems, what uses the electric field to detonate magnet mines. In the EMP system, the used electricity level is higher, and it could eliminate the submarines electronic equipment like GPS, computers, communications, and weapons would be jammed.


That could make possible to steal nuclear weapons from those submarines. In some novel, the bad guys used high voltage electric cables to make the submarines unable to operate, and then the propel of that vessel would be cut off by using magnesium sticks. Those things are very interesting and frighten visions of the situation, where some scuba divers would steal nuclear warheads from the submarines.

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.

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?
