Photocatalysis: the proton transfer between titania surface and dye observed

Today there was an article in the SciTech Daily about the protonic interaction between the titania layer and dye offered to make the new type of solar panels. In image two is the diagram of that kind of interaction. The thing is that increasing the number of protons on the layer. That thing increases the electronegativity of the layer. And that thing increases the flow of electrons.

But the proton interaction offers to make many other things than just create electricity. Increasing the electronegativity would increase the speed of electrons when they hit the anode. And that thing makes some electric systems more powerful. This kind of system is making it possible to create a new type of switch for miniature microchips.

The description of the proton-titania interaction from ScitechDaily goes like this:

"When the titania surface and the dye adsorbed on its surface are irradiated with ultraviolet light. The proton transfer occurs from the excited states of the dye molecules to the titania surface where basic hydroxyl groups are generated".

That phenomenon can use to control nanomachines.

The interaction between the titania layer and protons happens by using the fluorescence molecule. The radiation from the fluorescence molecules is pushing protons from the other molecule to the titania layer. And that thing allows creating the new type of remote controllers that can use to control nanomachines. All fluorescence is not happening by the UV light. That effect is possible with all wavelengths of the spectrum. And by benefiting from many EM wavelengths is possible to make the new multi-channel remote-control system that can use in the nanomachines and electric components.

When we are thinking about the system that controls some nanomachines the fluorescence molecules are the perfect tools for delivering signals for the control systems. When the machine would want to turn let's say to right the system can use fluorescence molecule that reacts to infrared light.

And when the nanorobot wanted to turn left the system might use a fluorescence molecule that reacts to the UV light. The fluorescence molecule will send the radiation to the photovoltaic cells that are inducting the electricity to the control system of the nanomachines.

If we want to make a nano-submarine that can travel in the human body we need four types of fluorescence molecules. And those molecules must react to different wavelengths of radiation. Four molecules with different wavelengths allow to turn submarine to four directions. Left, right, up, and down. And the system can be controlled by catheter where are the UV and other light LED:s.

The electric power for the submarine can deliver by using radio waves. Also, other types of equipment can control by using light and fluorescence molecules. That system can use to deliver medicines to the right point of the body. Or that kind of submarine can drill the blood veins open in the cases of blockages.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
