New self-assembly nanotubes turn the impossible possible.

New self-assembly nanotubes turn the impossible possible.

The MoirĂ© pattern allows nanotubes to undergo a self-assembly process. Self-assembling nanostructures are a fundamental thing in nanoscale systems. That makes it possible to create extremely long nanotubes. Those nanotubes can be the fundamental materials in lightweight and strong structures, from extremely tall buildings to very strong aviation materials. 

Nanoscale technology means that. The structure is planned and created at the atomic level. The nanoscale structures are like LEGOs, and they can form larger structures. Nanotube technology makes it possible. To create lightweight and strong structures. In nanotube-based nanostructures, the nanotube bundle is bound together using a graphene layer. That makes the structure strong and lightweight. Those nanotube structures make it possible to create very tall buildings.

Artist’s impression of a space elevator


"A space elevator is conceived as a cable fixed to the equator and reaching into space. A counterweight at the upper end keeps the center of mass well above geostationary orbit level. This produces enough upward centrifugal force from Earth's rotation to fully counter the downward gravity, keeping the cable upright and taut. Climbers carry cargo up and down the cable." (Wikipedia, Space elevator)

The space sling is one of the versions of the centrifugal launch systems. Or spin launchers. The idea is similar to space elevators. That benefits Earth's rotation. For transport satellites to the orbiter or even to the solar system. The idea is that the probe is connected to a satellite using a very long cable. On the other side is the counterbalance. When the system launches a satellite, the space sling slings that cable.  Where the probe is connected like a sling. When the satellite is separated, the system must also separate the counterbalance that is on the other cable. Or it must roll that cable inside. 

When we think about mega-projects like space elevators, we always think about the mast-shaped structure. That some kind of asteroid keeps up. By benefiting from the centripetal force. The structure can also involve a pressure statue. If the system allows the airflow inside that tower. The air pressure pushes it up. And pressure keeps it in its form. 

 Another way to make that tower is to use the same technology. Used in the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai. The building requires a large area base, which could be hundreds of kilometers. If the building’s area is large enough, it can be so high that it can reach even the edge of space. The building could be the mega-pyramid that has ever been seen before. 

And anyway, if we think about a kilometer-high launch tower, the rocket will launch through the low-pressure channel, which can save fuel. The rocket will be put in a launch position in the launch tube. Then the hatch at the top of the channel will open. And low pressure pulls the rocket through that channel. But those things are future visions. About systems that can revolutionize space technology.

The image of Eagle Nebula by Hubble telescope






The image of Eagle Nebula by Hubble telescope

When the human mind is looking for inspiration, it needs something, what to use for creating things. I don't know what the images, what Hubble is taken from the space portraits, or what is in those images. But the thing is that in my mind they are looking like something like spacemen or something like that. And maybe that thing is purely coincidence. And NASA says this image is born of the star by taken in the infrared area.

The Eagle Nebula in the image, what is taken by Hubble space telescope seems like a group of some kind of animals, what is standing in on the stump. And in some other images, people are seeing the astronauts. The thing is that the images of astronauts can be formed in the cosmic nebulas by accidentally, but there is a small possibility, that they would be real forms, what is remaining forever because space is a very stable structure.

One of the explanations is that the GRB (Gamma Ray Burst) would go through the body of the astronaut, and then the shape of that thing would be immortalized forever to the interplanetary nebula. In this case, the images, that Hubble has been taken are real images of ancient astronauts, what is remaining in the skies forever. Or at least million of years.

Those images have been given inspiration for the next generation space suits, which are making superman looking ordinary.

But there is another very uncomfortable explanation about the strange forms of the nebulas. And that is connected also to the spacesuits. In some theories, the spacesuits of tomorrow would have the electromagnetic shield against the radiation and ionized molecules. That protective shield would act as it would be the microwave bubble, which will launch in extreme situations.

In this case, the spacesuit would be covered by using magnetrons, which is created by using nanotechnology. In the situation, that astronauts would be in trouble by the micro meteors, this person might launch the microwave shield, and then the microwaves would turn the incoming meteors to atoms. In the wildest dreams in the bottom of the shoes of space suit might be the photon motors, which allows the fantasy spaceman to fly even to another solar system if there is enough energy.

In this scenario, the spacesuit would be frozen the astronaut to the near the zero degrees of Kelvin, which makes this kind of journey, what takes thousands of years theoretically possible, The extremely low temperature denies the oscillation of molecules, and that could make DNA allow to abide very long time. But is the journey, what takes thousands of years still too long, and would the DNA destroyed in that time? We know that nobody knows the answer.

The thing is that energy to the spacesuits can be delivered by using maser ray, which can make some of the most extraordinary things possible. But if the spacesuit would be covered by a nano-sized particle accelerator, that allows stopping the time inside the suit. The thing is that the nanotubes would be covered by using the magnetic acceleration tracks, which act similar ways with the particle accelerators of CERN.

Those magnetic tracks, what is benefiting nanotechnology are far smaller than tracks, which are used in CERN. And if the energy problems of the suit would be solved the nanotubes would accelerate the particles in the very high energy levels. When the speed of the particles is closing the speed of the light, the time inside the suit is slowing. So the energy of those hypothetical suits would deliver by using electron rays.

Teleportation and quantum computers

Teleportation and quantum computers

Wires are problematic in very fast microprocessors

In very fast microprocessors the wires are making the resistance, which causes the rise of the temperature in the wires. The rising temperature will oscillate the wires and disturb the data transmission.  For the solution to that problem, the system would use extreme thin wires, which can be actually the lines of the carbon or metal atoms.

But those wires would not stand the heat, which causes because the oscillation of electricity will raise the temperature in the computer. The problem is also that the thin wires are damaging very easily, and that forces to make them too strong. In the bold lines, the voltage must be higher, because that denies the resistance, which will cause that the electricity will disappear in the wires.

And the too low voltage causes that the disturbance what is caused by the electromagnetic radiation will deny the data transmission inside the electric wires. The answer to that problem is suggested the superconducting, but that causes the situation, that the computer must install in the special environment, where the temperatures near the absolute zero point Kelvin can be made safely.

Superconducting would be the solution for oscillation, which caused by electromagnetic radiation.  

Disturbance, what is caused by electromagnetic radiation, what comes from nature or outside the microprocessor force to use higher voltage, which causes the heat, and the heat is causing resistance in the microprocessor. So if we would want to create the extremely fast microprocessor, we must use very thin wires in the microchip. And the thin wires would cut if the voltage level is too high.

So that means that is the very fast computers would put in the Faraday cell, that would cause the radio waves that are coming from the outside would be eliminated. But the problem is that also the electric sources of the computer cause electromagnetic radiation, and that's why every single electric component must be isolated also from the radio waves, what are causing the disturbance to those electric wires.

If those microprocessors would allow separating from the radio waves, what comes from the electric sources and other electric wires, that would allow using lower voltages. That would allow keeping temperatures in the microprocessor lower, and that would allow driving those processors with higher clock frequencies. But that thing needs very deep caves, where the electromagnetic and other disturbance must be eliminated.

Quantum bytes would make quantum processors possible

In those cases, the temperature would be extremely low, which means the superconducting temperature, were those extremely thin wires are in the condition, there is no oscillation. And in that temperature would be possible to make the thing what is called as the quantum computers.

The problem with a quantum computer is that it handles the bytes in the line, not in the row. And that means that the computer could operate very fast. But there is one problem, the wires that are made by using the carbon or metal atom rows are not the answer to that thing, because the quantum computer needs the ability that the electrons must go in the row at the same wire.

The Fullerene or other nanotubes (nanosize particle accelerators) can be the answer to that thing

There is a possibility that the electric wires would be replaced by using the miniaturized particle accelerators, which can drive ions inside them. In this solution, the electrons or information would be packed in other atoms, what are stressed by microwaves or radio waves. That thing is called the teleportation in the world of nanotechnology and quantum physics.

That would cause the situation, that the atom would start to oscillate with the same frequency, what the electromagnetic radiation will use as the stressing process. After that, the atoms would shoot to the receiver, what will disable the frequency back to quantum bytes.

In theory, this technology is simple. Let's take the electrons or stressed atoms, and put them to the box like in the dog race. After that the boxes would be open and then those particles will fly in the lines to the receiver, but how to make that thing in real life. One version is to use fullerene tubes, extremely low temperatures and radiation isolation for creating the thing, what is the greatest dream in the world of science.
