Nanomachine can look like an artificial virus. And in the wrong hands, it can be dangerous.

The nanomachines can be impressive but in the wrong hands, they are the most deadly tool in the world. In this text under observation is the nanomachine that can look like a bacteriophage. The DNA controls the operations of that small robot. 

And if that system accidentally transfers too long DNA in some cell. That thing can cause the DNA fills the cell. And that extremely long DNA causes a similar effect to ricin which is one of the most poisonous chemicals in the world. The deadly effect of ricin is that its molecular structure is like may Day Hustle. That molecule fills the mitochondria or cell and denies its metabolism. 

There another way, how the molecule can make that action is that. It starts to travel between the structure of the mitochondria. That denies the power production in mitochondria. So the thing is that kinds of molecules are called Ribosome Inactivating Proteins or RIP proteins. in this text, all those proteins are under the title "ricin".  If we want to weaponize the nanomachine we can put the RIP protein inside the artificial virus structure. 

In every human cell is a mechanism that kills the cell. That cell death will transfer to other cells around dead cells. When the cell is living it sends ions that are the marks that the cell is living. Those ions will travel to other cells and they keep their ion pumps open.  When a dead cell touches the cell membrane that removes the electricity from those cells. 

The electricity keeps those ion pumps open. The purpose of ion pumps is to feed the cell. And if they are closed the cell cannot get the nutrient. 

If there are not those ions. That closes the ion pumps of the cell. And if those ions will not return those closed ion pumps cause the cell is dying to a lack of nutrients. The reason why that mechanism is created is that it protects humans and other cells from virus infections. 

The virus that is described is the phage virus. There is the risk that the nanomachine will pull the electricity out of the cell membrane. And that thing closes the ion pumps. This thing makes nanomachines dangerous. 

There are two ways how the virus can get into the cell. The first possibility is that the virus will launch its DNA or RNA molecule in the ion pump. Another way is that there is the enzyme that cuts the hole in the cell membrane. At the head of the genome. That thing makes the DNA or RNA travel through the cell membrane. 

The genome of the virus is in the nanotube. When the virus touches the cell membrane. The changes in the electricity will release the DNA. The polarity of the electricity at the end of the DNA tube will turn opposite. And when the small flap is opening that genome will jump out like spring. 

There is the possibility that the DNA of the virus is so long that it will just fill the cell. And that causes cell death. In some other visions, the enzyme that is used to make the hole in the membrane of the cell will travel through the nucleus of the cell or it can destroy mitochondria. So that thing can cause death, and that makes nanotechnology so dangerous.

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
