A short tale about benzene molecule

A short tale about benzene molecule

Dreams are things that are meant to protect people and also their mission is to handle the things, what is happened during the daylight. The scientific interest in the dreams began when the finder of the structure of benzene molecule, Friedrich August Kekulé von Stradonitz (1829-1896) claimed to see that structure in the dreams, or he claimed to saw the snakes what rise from the flames, and then those snakes bit their narrow tail, and then von Stradonitz realize that the structure of the benzene molecule was ring.

This tale is mentioned in many books, and that influenced Sigmund Freud when he started to create his psychoanalysis. That tool was expected to allow access to people's memories of dreams, and the problem in the dreams is that the memory is connected off while a person sees dreams. And this thing is a shame because people are most creative while sleeping and during dreams, the entire brain capacity can be used for creative work.

This story about the invention of the form of the benzene molecule is one of the most remarkable innovators for dream research. Actually, after birth his name was Kekulé, but then he took the annex von Stradonitz in his name. This remarkable chemist died in the year 1896, and that means that he didn't have electron microscopes, and just modern observation tools like a laser- and electron microscopes have confirmed that structure.

The thing is that this story is really interesting because von Stradonitz couldn't see that structure, and how that man could understand or proven that aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene are extremely dangerous? Or how that man proved this thing. In modern laboratories laser microscopes, what can send the very short wave radiation by using extreme sharp frequency can see the structure of molecules and atoms.

Those objects need extremely sharp systems, which would scan surfaces with the very big resolution, and in those systems is used many types of radiation, and they are hybrid tools, what is created by connecting the laser- and electron microscopes. Modern high-tech systems can scan the surfaces with very high definition, and the difference between laser- and electron microscopes is that the first one uses neutral particles, photons what are not influencing the atoms and ions.

Electron microscopes problem in the laboratory work is that the system uses particles, what have the electric capacity. And that thing might influence the electron layers and combinations between atoms in the molecules. The thing in the benzene molecule is that this chemical combination causes cancer. And that thing was not proven in the time of von Stradonitz. During his lifetime cancer caused death penalty automatically.

When we are thinking the benzene molecule, and it's the ability to cause cancer, we must realize one thing. In our lifetime the benzene molecule is a very well known thing, and the reason why it causes cancer is also very well known. The reason is that benzene would damage the genomes of the cells, and that thing makes it extremely dangerous to handle. But why von Stradonitz saw the snakes in the flames? Did he saw some kind of weapon in that material?

When we are thinking about the name of that chemistry, we must notice that von is the part of the name, what shows that Friedrich August Kekulé von Stradonitz was a military officer. So was he work for the German military? This kind of questions is really interesting.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies.

The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material.
