Small-size cryotrons that can switch superconductivity on and off are tools that can make the particle accelerators more effective. The problem with regular magnetic systems is that in some cases, like Muon G-2 anomalies, the particle accelerator's magnetic field can cover the magnetic effect of accelerating particles.

Particle accelerators collect data from collisions of the particles using optical, magnetic, and magneto-chemical sensors. The newest sensors are cloud chambers. That system should analyze particles that travel in it. And the new types of cloud chambers use quantum gas. That makes them more effective than traditional cloud chambers.

The magnetic field must have precise strength so that it can detect some changes in the particles. And their energy levels. If the magnetic field is too weak, the system cannot see details in the impacts. Too strong a magnetic field turns subatomic particles or subparticular interactions back in the magnetic mainframe.

When atoms and ions are interacting in particle accelerators the problem is that those ions and anions are entireties. All particles interact separately but those interactions happen in a short period. Another thing is that the electrons and positrons are elementary particles, but there are also internal structures in those particles. The system must have a very accurate magnetic field. That it can get data from those internal structures.

The ultra-small details in interactions require new tools. Those traditional sensors like bubble chambers and wire chambers had enough accuracy to analyze things like antimatter-matter interactions. Those sensors saw flashes of impact. Then the traditional sensors followed the tracks that particles left in vapor or something like that.

The Higgs Boson changed this game. Those short-living particles told that there is at least one particle, that the systems must find so that researchers can complete their Standard model. The problem in those very short-living particles is that the flash or energy impulse from the collimation covers their existence. Those particles remain only for a short moment. And they cannot come out from the flash.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology. The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use. When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe. Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave. We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects. If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center. The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
