Thoughts about the future, world, and technology

"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...

Credit: Visual Science" (ScitechDaily, A “Word Processor” for Genes – Scientists Unveil Fundamentally New Mechanism for Biological Programming) Maybe, quite soon we can use the DNA as a data store.  “The bridge RNA system is a fundamentally new mechanism for biological programming,” said Dr. Patrick Hsu, senior author of the study and an Arc Institute Core Investigator and University of California, Berkeley Assistant Professor of Bioengineering. “Bridge recombination can universally modify genetic material through sequence-specific insertion, excision, inversion, and more, enabling a word processor for the living genome beyond CRISPR.” "The bridge recombination system hails from insertion sequence 110 (IS110) elements, one of countless types of transposable elements – or “jumping genes” – that cut and paste themselves to move within and between microbial genomes. 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 comput...

""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...

Smart glasses are an interesting tool. That can replace even mobile telephones. There are a couple of things in those kinds of systems that limit their use. The battery lifetime is always limited in lightweight systems. Maybe, the smart glasses communicate with the internet using mobile telephones as the gates. The smart glasses can use the camera, which allows it to read texts.  And then, that system can send text to a central server, which can read or store it. That allows users to give commands to those systems using written texts.  The camera can have IR and UV options. And those systems allow the smart glasses to see in the dark. The system can project the map to the front of the people's eyes, and the smart glasses can integrate with other systems like surveillance cameras.  Also, smart glasses can connect with drones. And in the military world, operators can use those glasses with cameras. The glasses are connected to cameras. That is in the place of laser pointers...
