Artificial cells are the powerhouse of the future.

Artificial cells can create energy for systems. In this type of system, the biological cells make electricity for the machines and computers. Theoretically living cells that create high-voltage electricity can use as an energy source even for cars and other large-size systems. There is no difference does the electricity for the computer or lamp come from the cells that are making electricity for electric eels or is electricity coming from the fuel cells? 

There is a vision that even spacecraft can use cells that are making high-power electricity. In some visions, even ion engines of the spacecraft could use living cells that make electricity for its magnetic accelerators. And artificial cells can use as factories to create the things like medicines and proteins. The proteins and amino acids can use in nanotechnology. 

Artificial cells are genetically engineered custom cells. Those cells make very complicated proteins, whose production is a very difficult operation in normal laboratories. Genetically engineered cells can create things like uracil molecules that are useful in nanotechnical gearboxes. There is a possibility that tomorrow explorers and special forces troopers have "portable gardens" where cells that are making nutrients for those people.

There is a possibility that the beef of tomorrow,  made by using cell cultures. If the next-generation space explorers use meat, that is made by using muscle cells, created by cell cultures. That will make their food more diverse. The ability to create meat without using animals makes it more ecological.

 

"Researchers have replicated the tunable transparency of squid skin cells in mammalian cells, which can be cultured, potentially leading to better cell imaging techniques. The team at the University of California, Irvine, focused on cephalopod cells called leucophores and introduced squid-derived genes encoding reflectin proteins into human cells. By adding salt to the cells’ culture media, they observed reflectin proteins forming nanostructures that altered the cells’ opacity. The study not only aids in understanding squid biology but also opens up possibilities for advanced cell imaging strategies based on intrinsic optical properties".

But the most interesting thing is the genetically engineered cells that can make targets invisible. 


The squid's camouflage is outstanding, and there is a possibility that the genome that making that outstanding effect on squids can transform to the other cells. In those cases, the person wears the active camouflage suit, which involves living cells that make this type of camouflage possible. 

Biological camouflage needs nutrients, that can operate. But along with cloned neurons, those things can be the next-generation tools.  

It is possible to create things like wood cells that can interact with their environment like squid's cells. And things like tanks, aircraft, and why not persons can use this kind of invisibility cloak. In those cases, the object is covered by using very strong carbonite glass. And those cells that are making those things invisible are in the chamber between glass layers. 

The living artificial cells can use to create invisibility cloaks that form similar to the environment. Even supersonic aircraft can have this kind of layer. The system can use the structure that pulls the glass layer away from the shell when that thing needs the 3D mode. The new biological systems where the living cells are making camouflages are the next-generation tool. And if those systems use

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
