Smoking is now prohibited in some Finnish prisons

The first Finnish prison, what prohibits the smoking in its area is the Central Prison of Sornainen at Helsinki. This prohibition is somewhere criticized, but the reason for that is the cigarettes and tobacco products causes problems in prisons. The problem is that that stuff is used for merchandise for the prohibited items, and that is one reason to make the prison non-smoking area. The prisoners are sometimes against this thing, but they would not have listened, because the purpose of the prison is to punish criminals.

The problem, what those cigarettes are causing, is that sometimes weaker persons have forced to use their money for buying tobacco for their prisoner mates. Cigarettes are used for payment even for drugs like heroin, but I don't know how common this problem is in the prisons. All my pieces of information are from the articles in some magazines, what is telling about crimes. The non-smoking prisons also are safe, because there is no change to burn cell or cellmate with cigarettes. And the prisoners would not die of lung cancer so easily.

And that's why the prison staff would want to deny smoking in that area. There are stories that in some prisons in the world even murders have paid with cigarettes. Another thing, what is very interesting is that some prisoners have got some threats and they are claimed to steal another person's cigarettes. And the price of those cigarettes has been raised even a thousand euros.

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.

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.
