Worms can someday save our lives.

Have you seen the movies, where some kind of magic mask gives a person the magic powers or causes some horror-effects, where some flesh-eating animals like worms are attacking people? This kind of masks are pure fiction, but it would be theoretically possible to build the mask or some other device, what could allow a person to communicate or give orders to some worms or such kind of animals.

There have been no signs, that it is possible in real life, but we know that the worms are living in large groups, and if we would create the thing, what allows to communicate with those primitive animals, we would create the ultimate tool or the most horrifying instrument in the history. For controlling the worms is planned to use microchips, what will communicate with its primitive nervous system, and the operator can drive that worm-like robot inside the body.

We know that the worms have a primitive nervous system, and they can communicate with together, and if we would create the thing, what allows that thing in real life, we could use worms like trichina we would create the ultimate tool for cancer surgery. Those worms would remove the tumors from the body at the very high speed, and they can operate in the blood vessels, but this kind of animals are dangerous because they can cause damages in the large area of tissues.

There has been an idea, that by using genome manipulation would be created the trichina, what would slip in the damaged blood veins, and then fix those tissues. That animal works like sea cucumber, when it would find the right place, and replace the wall of the blood vessel. That idea was introduced in a long time ago, and that thing would help to survive the people after the big accident.

In some discussions is also given an idea, that the genetically manipulated hagfishes would create a large number of human tissues in it slime gland, and those tissues would be used for fixing the massive injuries in the human body. In this scenario, the retrovirus would transfer the right genome in the cells of the hagfish, what would start to produce the tissues for the human, who needs those things. I read this thing from some magazine, and it feels very attractive and also a scary thing, what could save human lives.

For controlling those worms would be used the microchips, what will installed in the bodies of the trichina, and the doctor can drive the worm-like biorobot inside the body of the patient. Worms are very effective tools, because most of them don't feel pain, and they can operate in the very small places. And in those cases, the doctor would release those worms in the human body by using injection, and they can also destroy large scales of tumors. So they can remove also the plate type of tumors, what is hard to remove. But there is one little problem with those things. The worms must be kept under the control because if they would be released in the human body, could the result be like in the horror movies.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
