The Javelin is one of the deadliest missiles in the world.

The Javelin missile is one of the most powerful, man-portable fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles in the world. That missile is proven it's capacity at least in Ukraine. 

The missile has been a deadly surprise for tanks in the Ukraine conflict. And that is forcing strategists to rethink the use of tanks on the battlefield. The Javelin-type missiles are always similar. The operator of that missile takes an image of the target. The control unit sends the image to the missile. 

And then the missile will recognize the target. When the image that the camera on the nose of the missile matches with the image which is stored in the computer's memory. The idea for that system is taken from TERCOM-navigational systems where the cruise missile uses the aerial images for navigation to the target. 

The missile knows, that it's on the right route. The same guidance system can use also in larger anti-tank and other precision-guided systems. The larger and more effective "Spike"-type missiles can have similar guidance systems. 

The heavy anti-tank missile can destroy the main battle tank at least 5,5 km. away from the launching site. But also even intercontinental ballistic missiles can use the same type of guidance system. Where the missile homes to target by using the image that is taken from aircraft or satellites. 

There is the possibility that some aerial vehicle or scout takes an image of the target and sends it to the missile. Artificial intelligence will determine the shape of the target and then the heavy anti-tank missile can find the target. The images that those missiles use can preload to the guidance system. 

Similar image-guidance systems can use also in modern anti-aircraft, air-to-air, and air-to-ground missiles and other smart munitions like smart grenades and ICBM missiles. 

Also, things like killer satellites can use modified Javelin missiles. The system can use the plates that are pushed to exhaust gas of the missile to turn its route. The system can use electromagnetic or kinetic warheads for destroying other satellites. 

The remarkable thing about the Javelin missile is that it can also use against the aerial target but it can be a deadly surprise even to warships. The smart guidance system of Javelin makes it possible to aim that missile to radar antenna or missile tube of the warship.

The new bendable sensor is like straight from the SciFi movies.

"Researchers at Osaka University have developed a groundbreaking flexible optical sensor that works even when crumpled. Using carbon nanotube photodetectors and wireless Bluetooth technology, this sensor enables non-invasive analysis and holds promise for advancements in imaging, wearable technology, and soft robotics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, From Sci-Fi to Reality: Scientists Develop Unbreakable, Bendable Optical Sensor) The new sensor is like the net eye of bugs. But it's more accurate than any natural net eye. The system is based on flexible polymer film and nanotubes. The nanotubes let light travel through it. And then the film at the bottom of those tubes transforms that light into the image. This ultra-accurate CCD camera can see ultimate details in advanced materials. The new system can see the smallest deviation in the materials.  And that thing makes it possible to improve safety on those layers. The ability to see ultra-small differences on surf

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems.  When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

Humans should be at the center of AI development.

"Experts advocate for human-centered AI, urging the design of technology that supports and enriches human life, rather than forcing humans to adapt to it. A new book featuring fifty experts from over twelve countries and disciplines explores practical ways to implement human-centered AI, addressing risks and proposing solutions across various contexts." (ScitechDaily, 50 Global Experts Warn: We Must Stop Technology-Driven AI) The AI is the ultimate tool for handling things that behave is predictable. Things like planets' orbiting and other mechanical things that follow certain natural laws are easy things for the AI. The AI might feel human, it can have a certain accent. And that thing is not very hard to program.  It just requires the accent wordbook, and then AI can transform grammatically following text into text with a certain accent. Then the AI drives that data to the speech synthesizer. The accent mode follows the same rules as language translation programs. The ac
