The story of abilities of aerogel and nanomachines.

The story of abilities of aerogel and nanomachines. 

The lightest solid material on Earth is aerogel, which was invented in 1931. The material is very well known, and there is one question, and that is why Lawrence Livermore laboratories stamped this "solid smoke" top secret? There is one thing, what might answer that question. The thing is that aerogel is fibered silicon dioxide, and the version, what Lawrence Livermore laboratories created might base the carbon fiber.

Even if the aerogel is damaged, when it would be contacted with water, there are many usages for that kind of material. And the varnish or some polymer would keep the aerogel dry if that layer will repel water. And another version of that could be that the outer layer would use the nanotechnology, what is emulating the hair of otter, and that thing denies the water touch with aerogel.

The carbon-fiber structure would, in theory, give the carbon-based aerogel the quality, that the fibers operate like nanomachines. In this theoretical material, the carbon fibers could be like springs, what would remember their trajectory, if they will cut, and then those fibers can return to form. And this makes possible to create the layer, what fixes itself.

So the aerogel is a bright, light and flexible material, which is quite hard. There is one thing, what might make it interesting. That is the ability to use aerogel as the structure of aircraft and space vehicles.

The lightweight structure would make possible to send the heavier cargo to space. And if the aerogel can store information in the chemical computer program would that make a revolution in the material research and developing new kind of machines, what can change their form. 

The thing is that the DNA molecule would act as a chemical computer program. And if there would be multiple DNA molecules like tracks, the central computer of the craft can choose, what line would the enzyme choose, and that thing allows to choose the form of the craft. That thing would make possible to create a craft, which is like a living organism.

Or in some wildest theories, those carbon fibers could involve artificial DNA, which allows the craft to survive many situations. This kind of things are of course fully hypothetical versions of aerogel, and maybe they can be created sometimes in tomorrow. But if the layer of the spacecraft would be made by using artificial DNA, the craft can create a copy of itself.
