Thoughts about the future, world, and technology

Ukrainian military used drones successfully against the Russian targets. The sea drones have shown their capacity to strike against the Russian navy.  Those attack drones are transformed jet scooters and fast boats equipped with warheads. Those systems are shown their power, and the thing is that those systems are a very big threat in the wrong hands. The small, fast boats equipped with heavy anti-tank weapons and internal warheads are hard to see. And they are quite hard targets to defenders. Things like hydrofoils that travel in very low depth make it possible for those systems can come to target from unexpected directions. That thing makes those systems dangerous in the wrong hands. It's possible to transform almost any speedboat in the world into a killer drone. The naval bases' security must re-estimate.  The hydrofoil technology can make, at least drone submarines more effective.  Once I saw a diagram of a miniature submarine equipped with hydrofoils. The name for that co

Above Candela P-12, (Image: Candela) The new "flying hydrofoils" like the Swedish "Candela" can rise high above waves. That technology allows for a decrease in energy use and pollution. Electric hydrofoils use so-called passive hydrofoil technology. There the speed of the craft raises the hull above the sea on the wings, which are similar used in aircraft.  Interesting visions this kind of craft can also operate using air propellers or even jet engines. Jet engines give those hydrofoils incredible speed. Those flying hydrofoils of high-lifting hydrofoils can use even rocket engines to give power. And that makes them interesting and an alternative for many missions.  However, there is a possibility to make a hybrid hydrofoil. That connects wing-in-ground WIG technology with regular aircraft and hydrofoils. The variable wing geometry (VWG) makes it possible to create wings that can turn under the aircraft. The aircraft can operate as a hydrofoil, WIG aircraft. And as

"Brookhaven scientists used their new ultrafast pair distribution function (uf-PDF) technique to explore the transition of a quantum material to a previously undiscovered material phase. The above schematic shows how the absorption of a laser photon initiates a small change that propagates through the material over time, rather than instantaneously changing the whole material.

There would be the quantum points that the system puts oppositely. Then it shares information between those quantum points or quantum dots. And drives it to the other layer.  New metamaterials and magnetic bubbles are revolutionizing data storage and computing. Before the computer can drive information into qubit, it must store it. In the same way, binary computers must store data before

Transposa

Above: https://futurism.com/neoscope/robot-human-brain-cells The use of cloned brain cells is a new thing in robotics. Chinese researchers used cloned brain cells to make computers or control units for robots. These kinds of systems are new and fundamental tools. The ability to use human neurons as a computer opens an interesting and, at the same time, terrifying thing.  It makes it possible to create robots and computers with the same intelligence level as humans. This kind of technology is the thing that can revolutionize robotics. And it can escalate into many other things. The Neuralink-type neuro-implanted microchips and these kinds of tools bring those kinds of robots into reality. Cloned brains can installed on a robot body using a microchip, that connects to the computer that controls the robot body with living brain tissue. The system can be put into the occipital nerve.  "A team of Chinese scientists used stem cells to build the brain and paired it with a computer chip t

""The new laser leans against a block of titanium-sapphire. For scale, both sit atop a quarter. Credit: Yang et al., Nature" (ScitechDaily, Stanford Engineers a Pocket-Sized Titanium-Sapphire Super Laser) The pocket-size titanium-sapphire lasers can revolutionize laser technology. This kind of solid and high-quality lasers can make a revolution in laser, drone, and quantum technology.  One way to create a powerful laser is to use modular technology. In that system, the modular laser uses multiple independently operating lasers. And the system focuses those laser rays into one point. There are various ways to make that kind of system. If lasers are in the drone swarms, those drones can point all of their rays into one point. Another way is to make a cylinder, and in the middle of the cylinder is a laser ray. Then,  other lasers send their laser rays into that laser ray.  In Star Wars movies the fictional Death Star uses that kind of laser system. And that technology can a
