Thoughts about the future, world, and technology

  "A new paper argues that studying Venus, despite its inhospitable conditions, is crucial for understanding the potential for life on other planets and predicting Earth’s future. It outlines the similarities and differences between Earth and Venus, highlights the importance of understanding Venus’s atmospheric and geological conditions, and explains upcoming NASA missions aimed at gaining more insights. " (ScitechDaily, Scientists Turn to Venus in the Search for Alien Life) The research underscores the necessity of using Venus as a model to make accurate assumptions about life on distant planets and to contemplate the long-term fate of Earth. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Scientists Turn to Venus in the Search for Alien Life) Venus can be a more suitable harbor for extraterrestrial life than Mars.  There may be some primitive lifeforms on the planet Venus. Those lifeforms can hover in their sulphuric acid clouds. Or they can live in Venus

"Artist’s impression of optoacoustic computing. Credit: Long Huy Da" (ScitechDaily, AI Efficiency Breakthrough: How Sound Waves Are Revolutionizing Optical Neural Networks) Acoustic wormholes and long-distance ion beams can be the next-generation tools.  Acoustic systems can revolutionize optical networks.  The acoustic beam means energy or particle beam, where energy travels in or between molecular-size structures. The term acoustic laser means the coherent soundwave that travels in the air. The reason why researchers are interested in acoustic systems is that those systems transmit cold energy. The acoustic systems can play molecule billiards. And researchers can use them to assemble nanomachines.  The U.S. military and police's LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Devices) are one example of acoustic lasers. In "acoustic lasers". The acoustic system pushes the soundwave into a very thin form. Some acoustic systems use diamonds to make powerful, highly accurate, and thin

Things like ants can be models for the next-generation drones and drone swarms. The ant-shaped robot can be car-size or it can be ant-size. Larger robots can act as bases for smaller-size robots. In some visions, larger-size robots can build new robot insects. Those robots can interconnect their microprocessors into the neural network.  There are two ways to make nature-inspired robots.  1) The robot can be a miniature machine. That uses non-organic technology.  2) The system can use the real insects or other animals that it takes into control.  And those entireties can be very independent. In that model, those small-size robots can operate as an entirety where they share their sensorial data and microchip capacity. The new 2D semiconductors are tools. That can make very small and low-voltage microchips possible. Those microchips can control small insect-shaped or cyborg insects.  The reptilian-shaped robots can look like real lizards. They can use fuel cells that use methane or alcoho

"Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have created an adaptive brain-computer interface (BCI) with machine learning, designed to assist individuals with motor disabilities without requiring individual calibration. This breakthrough enables easier adoption and demonstrates the technology’s application through engaging tasks and potential future uses, including brain-controlled wheelchairs and rehabilitation devices, aiming to improve quality of life for those with disabilities." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Develop Universal Brain-Computer Interface That Lets People Play Games With Just Their Thoughts) Writer Graig Thomas introduced an idea about the BCI (Brain Computer Interface) in his novel "Firefox". In that novel. The pilot can control the jet fighter systems using EEG waves. And then the Neuralink corporation installed the first EEG chip into a patient's brain a couple of months ago. And today that person plays computer games using that chip. Today

"The Gateway space station will be humanity’s first space station around the Moon as a vital component of the Artemis missions to return humans to the lunar surface for scientific discovery and chart the path for the first human missions to Mars. Astronauts on Gateway will be the first humans to call deep space home during missions where they will use Gateway to conduct science and prepare for lunar surface missions. Credit: NASA, Alberto Bertolin, Bradley Reynolds" (ScitechDaily, A New Era of Science on the Lunar Gateway Space Station) The Gateway Space Station will be the first space station on the Moon orbiter. These space station missions are vital for "Artemis" and the future Mars missions. This space station will collect data about solar activity. And also it collects data for the Mars flight.  The slingshot system would be a good tool to send capsules back to Earth from the Moon. That method gives solutions for problems of how to send fuel to the Moon.  The M

"Researchers have created a quantum vortex in superfluid helium to study black hole dynamics, revealing new insights into quantum fields and curved spacetimes through innovative cryogenic experiments. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Quantum Tornado Unlocks Mysteries of Black Holes) Quantum tornadoes can also act as qubits if their shape is slight enough. Or they can form a quantum point in the middle of it. And that point can act like a photon pair in qubits. In that model, two quantum whirls are horizontally against each other. And data travels through those quantum points.  In some visions the system can use quantum tornadoes or plasma rings to create slight electromagnetic fields. The system can put those electromagnetic fields into superposition and entanglement. Those whirls or ion rings are similar to those used in fusion tests but at a lower energy level. That thing allows the system to create almost stable qubits.  In the most exotic and powerful version, the

"A new “end-to-end” deep learning method for the prediction of behavioral states uses whole-cortex functional imaging that do not require preprocessing or pre-specified features. Developed by medical student AJIOKA Takehiro and a team led by Kobe University’s TAKUMI Toru, their approach also allows them to identify which brain regions are most relevant for the algorithm (pictured). The ability to extract this information lays the foundation for future developments of brain-machine interfaces. Credit: Ajioka Takehiro". (ScitechDaily, Breakthrough AI Predicts Mouse Movement With 95% Accuracy Using Brain Data) The breakthrough in AI is to predict what mice will do next by measuring brain activity. This means the AI and morphing neural networks can read the mind.  The system must take the EEG from the mice. Then that system will follow the mice's activity using cameras. After that, it will connect that EEG with the activity that it sees from images.  In laboratories, the morp

  "Researchers have developed a soft, flexible material with adaptive durability that strengthens upon impact, suitable for wearable technology and medical sensors. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Science’s Latest Marvel: Electronic Material That Grows Tougher on Impact) This particular material uses nano-pikes to transport energy out of the structure. But the acoustic diamond in the middle of that structure can make the energy transport even more effective.  The materials that are turning harder in pressure and impacts are possible. Theoretically, this kind of material allows people to create tools that can operate in magma. Some structures can transport impact energy and thermal energy out from the material. That makes the material unable to break. The idea is that when the energy level around the energy-moving structure rises higher.  And the energy level in the middle of it turns lower about its edge, which makes energy travel faster to that energy pocket. That e

"Inspired by Kintsugi, scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have developed a method to manage plasma in fusion reactors by utilizing magnetic field imperfections, enhancing stability and paving the way for more reliable and efficient fusion power. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily.com,Ancient Japanese Art Inspires Next-Gen Fusion Reactor Breakthrough) During fusion tests, high-energy plasma travels in the particle accelerator. The problem with fusion is that this plasma is monotonic. There is only one type of ion. The system must press those ionized atoms against each other where their cores melt to new elements.  During that process deuterium and tritium turn into helium. In some models, tritium is replaced by helium 3.  The big problem is this: when a fusion reaction ignites. That energy impulse pushes plasma away. That impulse breaks entirety. So there should be some pockets, where the energy impulse can go. Or it breaks the ion ring.  The distanc

"Scientists have collaborated to create the world’s first 3D-printed “brain phantom,” utilizing a special magnetic resonance imaging technique (dMRI) to model brain fibers. This advancement is aimed at improving research into neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis by enhancing the accuracy of dMRI analysis software through the use of these detailed brain models." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Develop World’s First 3D-Printed “Brain Phantom”) Researchers can use this structure to model 3D-printed large-scale neural structures that can make artificial superintelligence true, sooner than we expected.  The living neurons that communicate with quantum computers are the model of artificial superintelligence.  The living neurons that communicate with quantum computers are tools we can call artificial superintelligence. The artificial superintelligence can be the 3D-printed living brain that communicates with the quantum computers using neuro-

"The transition in star formation rates and black hole growth as redshift decreases from regimes where positive feedback dominates to a later epoch when feedback is largely negative. Credit: Steven Burrows, Rosemary Wyse, and Mitch Begelman"  The primary question in black holes in the early universe is this. Which one came first black holes or other stars? The thing is that black holes can form from material, but things like electromagnetic fields can also form this strange object. The string theory suggests that material forming of thin electromagnetic fields is called superstrings. Those power fields transmit information to each other.  Energy and information always follow the same rules. The higher energy level transmits information into to lower energy field. And that means there is also energy transmitted between superstrings. Sometimes there is an empty hole in the power field. And that causes the situation that those strings or higher energy areas fall into that vacuum

  The new advances in genetic engineering make revolutionary ways to control genome polymerase. And make it possible to create even new, synthetic species.  The genetically engineered hemp can create spider silk in its fibers. That makes it possible to create spider silk for new types of clothes. Spider silk is natural kevlar. That can used in many things like wear-resistant textiles.  Researchers make new things with genomes. They created gene-hacked cows and almost created artificial life in the lab. The gene-hacked animals and vegetables can make a new way to make some antibodies for virus infections.  The artificial bacteria can create new materials for R&D work. The spider silk is one of the strongest materials in the world. If researchers create hemp whose fibers are spider's silk. That thing revolutionizes material technology.  The question is, what is the definition of artificial lifeforms? Things like bacteria that make spider silk and cows that create insulin are the

The hypersonic weapons have shown their abilities in Ukraine. Russian Kinzhal missiles are almost impossible to drop before they hit the target. The Chinese military also made successful operations and training with hypersonic weapons. Hypersonic weapons are the next-generation weapons.  Their purpose is to destroy large-size heavily defended targets and one target is the aircraft carrier. The speed of those weapons is 5+ times faster than the GAU-8 "Avenger" ammunition, and if a 1000 kg object hits a ship with speed Mach 6-9 that thing releases very high impact energy.  AGM-183ARRW is the response for the Kinzhal missile (above).  The term "hypersonic weapon" means a weapon whose speed is over Mach 5. That speed gives those weapons extremely high muzzle velocity and impact energy. That means that small-size hypersonic weapons can cause very bad damage even if there is no warhead. China and Russia are both ahead in this kind of weapon development. The USAF successfu

"Illustration of redox gating for carrier manipulation and electric field control of the electronic state. The green threads represent functional molecules for redox gating, and the ability to function at low power mimics synaptic switching in the human brain, as represented by the underlying synapse. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory" (ScitechDaily, Unlocking the Future of Microelectronics With Argonne’s Redox Gating Breakthrough) The new redox gating makes a new step for microelectronic development. And it can be used to create artificial neurons. In the redox gate that Argonne laboratories develop is the plate-looking architecture. That allows it to transport information, at the same time, between two microchips in multiple channels. And that is the big thing for the table-size solid-state quantum computers. Another thing that this system makes possible is the new type of scanning tunneling microscopes. If the scanning tunneling microscope can use multiple tunneling comp

Artificial intelligence can analyze large-size data mass very accurately. That thing means that maybe quite soon, every person can have the chance to create a digital twin of themselves. The digital twin is an interacting simulation of things. That means it can interact or communicate with other simulations.  Individuals interact with the environment. Metabolism and the things that we eat can have a big effect on our life span and life quality. But also our environment affects our life. We can affect some things on an individual level, like the society that surrounds us. Or we can look around before we go over the road.  But something like air pollution requires collective orders. If we are members of some criminal gangs, we might have shorter lifespans than people, who live outside criminal activities. The digital twin can used to map threats in human life. Only knowledge of hazards allows people to eliminate them from their lives.  The knowledge of genetics, cell functions, and metab

Black holes are Schrödinger's cats.  They are and they do not exist.  The relativistic jet can form the gravity effect. The idea is that this phenomenon is like a thermal pump that forms a colder area around it. So black hole is like a star, and it's not a star. It's the same time cold and hot. Gravity is the force that moves space or energy field around the gravity center. The relativistic jets move that energy field away from the gravity center in one direction. And then that energy moves particles and photons into the point, where relativistic jet moves energy out from the point into one direction.  Relativistic jets are like thermal pumps. They transport energy out from black holes. A black hole expands if there are lots of stars around it. They form an energy field that can feed the black hole or its giant thermal pump. The energy level around a black hole determines how far it can pull material through the event horizon.  If a black hole is colder than its environment
