use.<\/p>\n<p>China has been developing high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons with the potential to disrupt radar systems, computers, communication infrastructures, and even missiles and satellites.<\/p>\n<p>The new type of high-powered &#8220;Death Star&#8221; weapon combines electromagnetic waves with ultra-precise timing to merge into a powerful energy beam.<\/p>\n<p>While the weapon sounds absolutely terrifying, for the &#8220;Death Star&#8221; to work, it must sync the microwave beans to arrive in the same form to effectively function.<\/p>\n<p>Each microwave-producing component, called vehicles, should not exceed 170 picoseconds \u2013 or trillionths of a second, according to scientists.<\/p>\n<p>The needed precision is much greater than the atomic clocks used for GPS satellites.<\/p>\n<p>However, Chinese scientists believe they have cracked the problem and achieved &#8220;ultra-high time precision synchronisation&#8221;, according to the South China Morning Post.<\/p>\n<p>They claim to have achieved this synchronisation by connecting microwave-transmitting vehicles using optical fibres.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese scientists say the latest technology could suppress signals of American GPS and other satellites, &#8220;achieving multiple goals such as teaching and training, new technology verification, and military exercises.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The specific features of the weapon and its parameters remain confidential.<\/p>\n<div id=\"bc-video-6363976469112\" class=\"brightcove\"><span class=\"article__bc_video-caption\">Watch China offer rare glimpse inside

to negate specific US strengths by affecting the sensors on US precision strike weapons and satellites.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese academic publications suggest that microwave beam weapons are developed more

Wars.<\/p>\n<p>While the latest energy beam weapon takes its inspiration from Star Wars, there are several key differences between the latest technology and the fictional Death Star.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the sci-fi franchise will know that the Death Star\u2019s main weapon uses kyber crystals.<\/p>\n<p>The crystals can generate enough power through several laser cannons, that merge at a single point to generate a beam so powerful it can destroy entire planets. <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the latest weapon development doesn&#8217;t have the power to blow up entire planets.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/tech\/12784651\/china-tiangong-space-station-inside-video\/\">Chinese astronauts have given the first-ever recorded tour of the Tiangong space station<\/a>, which orbits roughly 400km above Earth.<\/p>\n<p>The orbital outpost is much more luxurious than the International Space Station (ISS), which was launched in 1998.<\/p>\n<p>Decorated with red paper lanterns for the occasion, Shenzhou-18 crew members Ye Guangfu, Li Song, and Li Gangsu gave a seven-minute-long tour of their temporary abode, shared by Chinese state-owned news agency CCTV.<\/p>\n<p>The core module, where astronauts said they spend most of their time, is where the management control centre is stationed.<\/p>\n<p>But it also features some home comforts, like a small dining table, a microwave, fridge and water dispenser.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__media\">\n<div class=\"article__media-img-container open-gallery\" data-index=\"4\"><a href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\"
