The new fundamental material adapts to its history.




"A new material has been developed that changes its electrical behavior based on previous experience. This effectively gives it a basic form of adaptive memory". (Artist’s concept of electrically adaptive material.)(ScitechDaily.com/Inspired by Living Systems – Next Generation Material Adapts to Its History)


Material that remembers its form is an amazing thing.  The new material developed at Aalto University, Finland, got inspiration from living organisms. The idea of the new intelligent material is that their electric behavior depends on experience. 

"Inspired by living systems, a new material has been developed that changes its electrical behavior based on previous experience, effectively giving it a basic form of adaptive memory. Such adaptive materials could play a vital role in the next generation of medical and environmental sensors, as well as in soft robots or active surfaces"

The ability to remember electric fields and their strength means that the researchers can put material in a certain form in certain physical conditions. That thing can be called a base condition. Then if something affects the material the operators need only make those base conditions. And the material is returning to its original form. That kind of material has limitless usage. 

Researchers can use responsive materials in nano-size switches. Those switches can have different base-energy levels. And that makes it possible to route the electricity into different wires in different physical conditions. That means the small-size robot can activate different pre-programmed microchips in different situations that connect with certain radiation or temperature. 

The response materials have multiple usages from the mass memories, and windows that are turning darker while the sun shines brighter. If that kind of window uses crystals that are turning their certain side to the sun, that thing allows covering that side by using silicone. That makes the window able to collect energy from sunlight. 


That thing could extend the lifetime of electric cars. Or it can be useful to use with intelligent glasses. 


Intelligent glasses might be the systems that can communicate with mobile telephones by using BlueTooth communication. In the most advanced visions, those glasses can record EEG from the Wernicke areas in the brain that are forming speech. Or those glasses can also communicate with microchips that implant in the human brain. 

The mobile telephone can send the data to the HUD screen. And then that system can send information to the mobile telephone. So the operator can use a mobile telephone by using EEG that is taken from the brain area that is producing speech. As I wrote earlier in this chapter, the glasses can also transmit the signal from the brain-implanted microchips that are developed by Neuralink corporation.

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
