The new cardboard drones are effective weapons.

Kamikaze drones are cruise missiles, that can patrol over the battlefield. And when their fuel ends, those systems can make a kamikaze attack. Paper drones are effective tools they are cheap and easy to make. But the AI makes them game-changers.

The Ukrainian strike against the Russian airbase shows how effective cardboard drones can be. These drones can equipped with an image-recognition system, that allows them to attack targets in a very long range. The image recognition camera also can operate as a TERCOM (Terrair Countour-Matching) system.

The system requires that their flight route is stored in computer memory as film, and then the AI-based visual TERCOM system can guide the drone to the target with extremely high accuracy. The internal inertia or optical TERCOM navigation system makes those drones immune to regular jamming systems.

Then the image-recognition camera can search for suitable targets. And then the drone can attack the most suitable targets like IL-76 transporters or missile rocket stages. The cardboard layer can equipped with a water-repellent varnish layer. And that makes those drones capable of operating in rain. The cardboard drone is an interesting tool because that system can made by using recycled cardboard. And there is a possibility that this kind of cheap and effective system can created by using 3D printers.

The new warheads that create a hypersonic plasma-metal combination make slowly flying kamikaze drones capable of destroying even large-scale tanks. Tanks are less vulnerable to attacks than aircraft.

Things like microchips and computers can made be using modified cell phones and AI-based systems can be taken from Javelin missiles. The AI is cheap and that means all drones can have integrated computer software. The computer can download needed software to any land-sea and airborne system. And that means even the cheapest units can get effective AI-based systems. That allows them to avoid things like AA flak.

The paper drones with high-accuracy homing systems are also tools that are used to re-estimate the effectiveness of AA systems and security. The slow cheap drone that is invisible in radars is very hard to detect. Image recognition makes those drones capable of hitting individual vehicles or even selected persons. That thing makes those weapons extremely dangerous.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to form the blue giant or too small it can collapse straight into a black hole . If the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts. The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists model of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

"New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
