Smart rust can clean water, but researchers can use it to oxidize blood.

 Smart rust can clean water, but researchers can use it to oxidize blood.


The smart rust is one version of nanotechnical systems that can clean up water. The smart rust uses iron oxide's ability to trap many pollutants inside its structure. Iron oxide is magnetic, which makes it possible to pull toxic chemicals into its structure. There is a possibility that iron oxide (Fe2O3) can also be used to release lots of oxygen in water or any other liquid. The idea is that chemical or electrochemical nanotechnology breaks the chemical compound between iron and oxygen. In that case, that chemical reaction releases pure oxygen into the liquid.

Small iron oxide particles in water can release oxygen into the water. And that thing makes it possible to increase oxygen levels in water. An even more powerful tool would be rustbite, which is connected with fullerene. In that case, the fullerene will break down carbon compounds. The fullerene will just reduce carbon, and then it breaks chemical compounds in carbon chains. And along with a powerful oxygenizer, that thing can remove anaerobic bacteria from water. The carbon can break chemical compounds of carbon and oxygen, and that thing separates oxygen from carbon. Breaking the carbon dioxide molecules immediately.

The smart rust that releases oxygen into the water can also be used to oxygenize the blood. The fullerene that is connected to that iron oxide can clean toxic chemicals from the blood and also increase the oxygen level, which can give it time to operate. The most dangerous situation in an accident is that the oxygen level in the blood will drop too low. And if there is no change to react and increase the blood's oxygen level, that can cause brain damage quite soon.

What if someday researchers can re-oxidize hemoglobin outside the lungs? That thing makes it possible to increase oxygen delivery to the desired location in the body.

In some of the most interesting and futuristic visions iron oxide and some enzymes can form so-called auto-oxygenation in hemoglobin. In that system, the molecules separate carbon from carbon dioxide when hemoglobin protein carries it out of the blood The idea is that nanotechnology can break the carbonyl group that ties carbon dioxide together.

Then that nanomachine, which can be an artificial protein, can re-oxygenate the hemoglobin outside the lung. Those nanomachines can bring that oxygen from other places. Nanotechnical systems can use things like iron oxide to transport oxygen to the desired place in the body. Or the nanomachine can remove only carbon from carbon dioxide.

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
