 The new locomotion robots can bring a new dimension to sensor technology. And it also can use in medical work. 

The new tape-worm-looking caterpillar robots can make many things that are been impossible earlier. The movements of those robots are made by using magnetic systems. And those magnets can be installed on the X-ray films. Those robots can transport those films to the wanted position. Those film-looking structures can also use to transport tissues in the right positions. And they can make many things, that have been impossible before. 

The robots can use nanowires to control the direction where the operators want them to move. The flat computers that are used in intelligent smartcards can control the operations of those nanowires. The system can adjust the length of those wires by using electric impulses or some chemicals. And those small systems can be equipped with small-size seismic sensors and ultrasound systems. Or they can transport things like x-ray films in very small places that are hard to reach. 





The locomotion robots are like tapeworms that are traveling on the surface. Those systems can bring new accuracy for sensor technology. The system can equip with ultrasound systems. And they can be like self-moving ultrasound patches. If those locomotion robots can use for making X-ray images they can position to the position where the layer that should image is between the X-ray and the tape robot. In that case, the tape robot can be equipped with X-ray films.

Those systems can observe tissues and other things by using ultrasound. 

In that case, the tape robot can be equipped with X-ray films. Those robots can get their electricity from ultra-thin photovoltaic cells. But they can also get electricity from radiowaves or chemical batteries, like iron-silver electrodes that are in some acid. 

Or those robots can be equipped with ultrasound receiver transmitters. The robot can use a regular ultrasound system. But it also can x-ray the layers, by using ultrasound that travel through tissues or other material. And it must also make the ultrasound X-ray images. Those caterpillar robots can also fix bleeding tubes and even blood veins.

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
