New metamaterials make new data storage possible.


"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.

In some old models, the quantum computer is two opposite hard disks. 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 it starts to process information. 


"Information is stored by the depth-dependent direction of magnetization in the domain walls, which are located between the cylinder domains and their surroundings. This magnetization of the domain walls can point clockwise or counterclockwise in the individual blocks, which are separated vertically by ruthenium layers. By systematically varying these directions, researchers can encode different bit sequences within a cylinder domain, as is shown here with some artistic interpretation.

The error correction requires error detection. And in short operations, the computer can simply drive data twice through the system. But in long operations that can take months, the system can use two, or more data lines to make error detection, and the computer must make intermediate recordings for data, that travels in the system. 

The atomic GPS makes it possible to locate and manipulate atoms on graphene layers. The system can used to store data into the atoms or their magnetic bubbles. Then the system can start to transport information between atoms. Or, it can transport information between the most out electrons of two atoms. The system must lock those electron's positions, and then it can begin data transportation between them. 

The new systems can store information in the atoms in the graphene layer without the need to transport them physically. That makes the system more effective than that system, which should transport every single atom all the time when it transports information to that thing. 

In some versions, the system can create towers of magnetic bubbles. Then it can put those towers on the graphene layer. And start to create quantum entanglement between those magnetic fields. The ability to store data in the magnetic bubble makes it possible to transport it as a qubit. 


"Researchers at ETH Zurich, led by Pietro Gambardella, have developed a method to control the quantum states of single electron spins using spin-polarized currents, which could enhance quantum computing technologies. This new technique offers more precise, localized control compared to traditional methods using electromagnetic fields, potentially improving the manipulation of quantum states in devices like qubits.

The system can make superposition and entanglement between those bubbles. Or it can shoot those magnetic bubbles through the track to the receiver. The system can also transport information between two bubbles adjusting their size. Information can travel between two identical magnetic bubbles. 

When the magnetic bubble transports its information, the system can destroy it after data transportation is done. That makes data transportation more secure.

The new metamaterials allow the system. That looks like neteye. The system can store data into magnetic particles, and hang those particles like atoms into the neteye. Then it can make the quantum entanglement between magnetic particles at both layers. That thing makes it possible to create a fast, multistate quantum system. 

The graphene network stabilizes qubits into that network. And then those systems can transport data between two layers. The ability to store data in atoms and their magnetic field makes it possible to create new solutions for binary and quantum computers.

DNA can control non-alive processes.

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. Transposable elements are found across all life forms and have evolved into professional DNA manipulation machines to survive. The IS110 elements are very minimal, consisting only of a gene encoding the recombinase enzyme, plus flanking DNA segments that have, until now, remained a mystery."(ScitechDaily, A “Word Processor” for Genes – Scientists Unveil Fundamentally New Mechanism for Biological Programming)

"Arc Institute scientists have discovered the bridge recombinase mechanism, a revolutionary tool that enables fully programmable DNA rearrangements. (ScitechDaily, A “Word Processor” for Genes – Scientists Unveil Fundamentally New Mechanism for Biological Programming)


"A team of researchers from the Arc Institute have discovered the bridge recombinase mechanism, a precise and powerful tool to recombine and rearrange DNA in a programmable way. Going far beyond programmable genetic scissors like CRISPR, the bridge recombinase mechanism enables scientists to specify not only the target DNA to be modified, but also the donor material to be recognized, so they can insert new, functional genetic material, cut out faulty DNA, or invert any two sequences of interest.

"Their finding, detailed in a recent Nature publication, is the first DNA recombinase that uses a non-coding RNA for sequence-specific selection of target and donor DNA molecules. This bridge RNA is programmable, allowing the user to specify any desired genomic target sequence and any donor DNA molecule to be inserted."(ScitechDaily, A “Word Processor” for Genes – Scientists Unveil Fundamentally New Mechanism for Biological Programming)

Researchers created the nanoparticle, called quasicrystal using the DNA. That makes it possible to create structures using the DNA as the code. DNA-based material development is sometimes dangerous. There is the possibility that the DNA that controls the quasicrystal's growth slips into the human or some anima's cells. And that thing makes this kind of thing dangerous. The reason for that is that DNA controls every single process in every single cell. 

Researchers can create new organisms and give new abilities to old ones using DNA programming. The artificial DNA molecules can control the cell's electric processes. And that means those artificial electric cells can transfer information stored in the DNA to the computers. That transfer happens using electric signals that those DNA molecules control.

"Researchers at Finland's Aalto University have found a way to use magnets to line up bacteria as they swim. The approach offers more than just a way to nudge bacteria into order—it also provides a useful tool for a wide range of research, such as work on complex materials, phase transitions and condensed matter physics."  (Phys.org, Getting bacteria into line: Physicists use magnetic fields to manipulate bacterial behavior)

The magnetic fields can control the movements of bacteria. 


The new way to combine AI and living bacteria can make a revolution in material research and medical research. Researchers put the bacteria swim in lines using magnetic fields. This thing allows the system to drive bacteria anywhere it wants. The small powerful nanomagnets can be used to control individual bacteria. 

But then we can think about possibly using genetically engineered bacteria that create enzymes as medicine. Genetically engineered bacteria can create medicines or researchers can use those bacteria to transport wanted genomes or DNA bites to the targeted cells. 

The genetically engineered macrophage can transport DNA to the non-wanted cells. And that allows researchers to create of systems that simply order targeted cells to die. In that case, genetically engineered microbes can transport the DNA bite that orders cells to die into targeted cells. 


"A mathematical tool called a fast Fourier transform maps the structure in a way that reveals the 12-fold symmetry of the quasicrystal.

When we think about the possibility that the nanomachines build wanted DNA bites technology can someday increase human lifespan. The ability to connect DNA bites together can form hydride species. But the same technology makes it possible to create bacteria that can transform into another cell. So DNA transfer can make it possible to create bacteria that can transform into any tissue cell or neuron. 

That thing allows the bacteria that the magnetic system drives into a wanted position, and then the DNA transforms them to cells, that can fix damages in the body. The system can create bacteria, that turn into stem cells at the right moment. When we think about the possibility of creating cyborg cells that microchips control, we can think of the possibility of creating an artificial macrophage or B-cell that can remove DNA from the cell. 

And then replace that removed DNA using new DNA. That allows the system to renew wanted cells. When we think about the possibility of changing DNA in a large cell group, we can think of the possibility. That the genetically engineered bacteria can someday change old DNA from aging cells. Replacing that old DNA using new and fresh DNA.

Chinese innovative new cyborg uses human brain cells as controllers.


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 that passes instructions to the robot's body that helps move its limbs, avoid obstacles and track targets" (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13592197/Chinese-scientists-robot-powered-human-brain.html)

And it allows us to transmit neural impulses from the brains to the receiving microchip. That microchip can control the robot body or it can resend the information to the nervous system, that is below the neck. This is a suitable technology to restore the ability to move to people, who are paralyzed. 

The robot with living brains is actually, the brain in a vat. The robot system can involve a nutrient production unit. The system must feed brains with nutrients and protect that brain tissue against viruses and bacteria. The system must involve living bone marrow that allows it to create blood cells, that feed those neurons and defend them against bacteria. 

The living brain-controlled robots can have "local brains", which means every single robot body must have its life support system, that keeps those neurons alive. Bone marrow and blood cells require nutrients. So that they can feed those neurons. 

Or the brains can operate robots remotely using the internet. In that system brain in a vat is in the laboratory. The system is connected to the external body through the internet. The system can change the body that it wants to control very fast. And the robot bodies might also have remote-control abilities. That means robots are not like humans at all.

New high-quality solid-state lasers can give a new boost to laser, and communication technology.


""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 also used in drone swarms. The drone swarms can also make virtual cylinders. And then, one of the drones will shoot the collector laser ray through it. Then, other lasers will shoot their energy into that collector ray, which can reach a very high energy level. 

Modular laser technology makes it possible to create new types of quantum communication. In those systems, every laser can send information at the same time. But in different frequencies. That thing can make information more secure than without that technology. 

When we think about neural network systems like drone swarms, we must realize one thing. The single drone is a dummy, but as an entirety, the drone swarms can be extremely intelligent and independent. The virtual quantum computing mode in the drone swarms can operate like this: The system shares data bites with each drone. Then, those drones can collect that information into one entirety as quantum computers can do. That kind of information-handling system is a powerful tool. 

Laser technology allows drone swarms to operate in areas. There is powerful electromagnetic turbulence like plasma fields. In those areas, lasers offer secure and error-free communication applications. Small-size lasers that can cut metal, measure distances, and offer communication ability in one system make them multi-purpose tools.

When can smart glasses replace mobile telephones?



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. Technology, created for smart glasses can integrate with the combat aircraft control tools.

The user interfaces are hard to make for the smart glasses. If and when researchers want to integrate smart glasses with wearable technology, they must remember. The user must use both hands for something else than writing words on the keyboard. 

The tools called MouthPads that allow to control computers using the touchpad-style system that the user can put in the mouth can answer those kinds of problems. Another way to use smart glasses is the user interfaces, that follow the eye movements. The system can follow the macula lutea to select operation in the graphical user interface. The user can use eye blinking as the virtual mouse button. 

The smart glasses can cooperate with generative AI. That allows the user to give spoken commands to AI. The problem with that model is that the noise around the user can disturb those commands. And the thing that researchers might want to use with the smart glasses is the brain-computer interface BCI. The system would be ideal for smart, or magic glasses that can be connected to any computer using Bluetooth. And that thing makes those systems very flexible.
