The perovskite is the next-generation material for photonics. That material is a tool that the next-generation solar panels can use. But perovskite has many other useful objects. That material can used in sensor technology, where the quantum- or power field around that material can be used to scan surfaces like radars. The orbiting photons can also be used in quantum computers. The laser systems can lock them and put them into superposition and entanglement. 

The optical acoustic systems where laser rays send the soundwaves into the materials can make it possible to create material that acts like an adjustable optical lattice. Those soundwaves can make waves or wrinkles on the metamaterial surface. The researchers can use this system to create new types of advanced aerodynamics where the system makes small variable grooves on the layer. And stealth materials that can adjust the radar echo. Theoretically it is possible to create a metasurface that can transform optical light and radar impulses into X- or even gamma-ray reflection.

Optical acoustic systems can also used to create sound waves. The ultra-sharp acoustic systems can used in the sonar and accurate acoustics. The optical-acoustic systems can also create the soundwaves. Those pressure waves can levitate the objects above the ground.

Advanced nanotechnology transforms IR radiation into custom light. 

The new nanotechnology-based custom material is impressive. It can transform heat into custom light. Nanotechnology allows the creation of a metasurface, that can act like an optical lattice but the difference is that it transforms the IR radiation into some other wavelength. And theoretically it is possible to transform things like radio waves into optical wavelengths. 

And that thing can make the new electronic systems possible. Advanced nanotechnology can make it possible to control heat in high-temperature systems. The ability to transform the radiation wavelength makes it possible to create new types of lasers and other tools. 

"A thermal metasurface is made of a single layer of nanostructured silicon (gray) on top of glass (blue) and a metal mirror (gold). The nanostructured surface is specifically tailored so that it thermally emits circularly polarized light to a desired direction. The advance shows promise for creating compact, inexpensive, and portable light sources, which are crucial for space-based applications, biological and geological field research, and military operations.

But what if we can create material that can transform visible light reflection into UV radiation? That kind of material would be invisible to the human eye. The IR camera doesn't see the UV radiation. If that technology is possible, it opens the road to the next-generation stealth technology. The reflecting frequency can be X- or gamma ray, and that makes the impressive material advance. 

How can material transform heat into custom light? The answer is simple. It must just transform the IR radiation into some other wavelength. Otherwise, this kind of material can turn some other wavelengths into IR radiation. When there is some reaction, there must be some counter-reaction. When material turns infrared radiation into some other wavelength. It just pushes the wavelength shorter. 

In counter-reaction, the material should stretch the wavelength of the radiation that impacts it. Theoretically is possible to turn any wavelength into another one. That means it's possible to create material that can theoretically transform the UV light into X- or gamma rays. The same material that transforms IR into visible light can theoretically make a similar wave transformation with other wavelengths.
