Interesting and futuristic innovations

"Inspired by Kintsugi, scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have developed a method to manage plasma in fusion reactors by utilizing magnetic field imperfections, enhancing stability and paving the way for more reliable and efficient fusion power.

The problem with fusion is that this plasma is monotonic. There is only one type of ion. The system must press those ionized atoms against each other where their cores melt to new elements.  During that process deuterium and tritium turn into helium. In some models, tritium is replaced by helium 3.  The big problem is this: when a fusion reaction ignites. That energy impulse pushes plasma away. That impulse breaks entirety. So there should be some pockets, where the energy impulse can go. Or it breaks the ion ring.  The distanc

Image: (Iflscience, Chernobyl's Mutant Wolves Have Evolved Anti-Cancer Abilities) The animals at the Ukraine, Chernobyl nuclear disaster site seem to create resistance against cancer that radioactive fallout causes. And how wolves and other animals created resistance against cancer and radioactive radiation is simple. Radioactive fallout and radioactive exposure destroy a population that cannot resist radioactive radiation. That thing caused an effect where the genome enrichment started.  The ability to resist radioactive radiation is interesting. The ability to create artificial genomes makes it possible for nanotechnology can connect those DNA sequences. That gives those animals resistance against cancer to human genomes. Nanotechnology makes it possible to connect genomes between species. The next-generation gene therapy is one of the most interesting things.  The ability to transfer DNA between species makes it possible to create pigs. That can form human organs. It also can ma

"Researchers have devised a quantum mechanics-based approach that significantly improves the prediction and enhancement of metal ductility, leading to the development of metals that are so durable they could be considered “unbreakable” for their given application. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Quantum Breakthrough Paves Way for “Unbreakable” Metals) When we think about things like neutron stars one of the reasons why it is so hard to break is this: Neutron star is a homogenous object. On its shell are only neutrons. The neutrons are spinning in one direction. The spin of the entirety is so fast that the impact energy is distributed evenly on that structure. Another thing is that individual neutrons also spin vertically relative to the equator. And that drives energy out from that structure.   And that drives energy out from the neutron star. Normally. Neutrons can exist at 877.75 seconds if it's outside the atom nucleus. But in neutron stars. Those neutrons are

  The new advances in genetic engineering make revolutionary ways to control genome polymerase. And make it possible to create even new, synthetic species.  The genetically engineered hemp can create spider silk in its fibers. That makes it possible to create spider silk for new types of clothes. Spider silk is natural kevlar. That can used in many things like wear-resistant textiles.  Researchers make new things with genomes. They created gene-hacked cows and almost created artificial life in the lab. The gene-hacked animals and vegetables can make a new way to make some antibodies for virus infections.  The artificial bacteria can create new materials for R&D work. The spider silk is one of the strongest materials in the world. If researchers create hemp whose fibers are spider's silk. That thing revolutionizes material technology.  The question is, what is the definition of artificial lifeforms? Things like bacteria that make spider silk and cows that create insulin are the

The hypersonic weapons have shown their abilities in Ukraine. Russian Kinzhal missiles are almost impossible to drop before they hit the target. The Chinese military also made successful operations and training with hypersonic weapons. Hypersonic weapons are the next-generation weapons.  Their purpose is to destroy large-size heavily defended targets and one target is the aircraft carrier. The speed of those weapons is 5+ times faster than the GAU-8 "Avenger" ammunition, and if a 1000 kg object hits a ship with speed Mach 6-9 that thing releases very high impact energy.  AGM-183ARRW is the response for the Kinzhal missile (above).  The term "hypersonic weapon" means a weapon whose speed is over Mach 5. That speed gives those weapons extremely high muzzle velocity and impact energy. That means that small-size hypersonic weapons can cause very bad damage even if there is no warhead. China and Russia are both ahead in this kind of weapon development. The USAF successfu

China plans to make a giant railgun for launching satellites to orbiters. But what else should it launch?  Jules Verne's novel "From the Earth to the Moon" introduces a giant cannon called "the Columbiad". This giant multi-chamber cannon sent the main characters on a Moon trip in this Victorian-era novel. The cannon couldn't send the manned spacecraft to the orbiter. But the idea remains.  The firing of the fictional Columbiad (Wikipedia: From the Earth to the Moon) In the 1940's Nazi German researchers tested the multichamber cannon called V-3. The problem was that explosives detonated wrong times in those chambers on both sides of the barrel. The V-3 could shoot the arrow-looking grenade with tail wings to long distances.  Then researchers suggested that NASA could make the long railgun to the side of some mountain. That could allow shoot Pegasus rockets to near the atmosphere's edge. NASA rejected that plan. But now Chinese developers are making t

CreditSteven Burrows/Rey Group". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Leap: How Spin Squeezing Pushes Limits of Atomic Clock Accuracy) New atom clocks use a method called spin squeezing to measure time. The new, highly accurate atom clocks can measure things, like gravitational waves, and dark matter. And many other things. Ability to measure time very accurately based in a fully controlled environment, where outcoming electromagnetic effects are minimized. In the quantum atom clocks the number of used atoms is minimized. And that minimizes the atom's interrelational energy effect.  The atom clocks are used to research things like time dilation and in highly accurate measurements. Large groups of atom clocks that interact with LIGO-type laser systems can act like an insect's net eye that meas

"An AI model developed by the Beckman Institute enables precise medical diagnoses with visual maps for explanation, enhancing doctor-patient communication and facilitating early disease detection." (ScitechDaily, X Marks the Spot: AI’s Treasure Maps Lead to Early Disease Detection) The GlycoSHIELD AI-based software will revolutionize drug development. The software can simulate the morphology of sugar coats in proteins. That makes it easier to simulate how proteins. And cell's ion pumps interact. Another tool that makes AI more powerful in drug development is new observation tools like nano-acoustic systems. Those systems with very accurate X-rays and other systems can search how neurotransmitters act between neurons.  The ability to control pain requires the ability to deny the neuro-transmitters travel between neurons. The systems of tomorrow may use some other method than chemical opioids to deny neurotransmitters reach the receiving cell. Those methods can be acoustic

Acoustic diamonds are a new tool in acoustics.  Another way to make very accurate soundwaves is to take a frame of 2D materials like graphene square there is a hole. And then electrons or laser beams can make that structure resonate. Another way is to use the electromagnetic field that resonates with the frame and turns electromagnetic energy into an oscillation in the frame.  Nano-acoustic systems can be the next tool for researching the human body. The new sound-wave-based systems make it possible to see individual cells. Those soundwave-based systems or nano-sonars are tools that can have bigger accuracy. Than ever before. The nano-sonar can use nanodiamonds or nanotubes as so-called nano-LRAD systems that send coherent sound waves to the target. In nanotube-based systems, the nanotube can be in the nanodiamond.  The term acoustic diamond means a diamond whose system oscillates. The system can create oscillation sending acoustic or electromagnetic waves to the diamond. Diamond trans

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems.  When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

Memory is like an attic. If there is lots of stuff that makes it slow and if the attic is full of stuff, that means the owner must check much more merchandise than in a clean attic. When people are cleaning their attics and carrying unnecessary merchandise away.  That makes it easier to use that room. People forget things because that makes their memory effective. If there are left only things. that people need that makes the memory effective.  And one reason for removing things from memory is that we don't use them. In this text system, the brain and computers follow the same rule. They forget because their memory is not unlimited.  Image:Quanta Magazine Why do we forget? Forgetting things makes our memory more effective because there are not so many memories. Memory is an impressive thing, but even human memory is not unlimited. When the system stores something in memory, it must reserve one memory unit for each memory. And when the system wants to find something in memory, that

The idea of lasers use as satellite killers is not new. The problem is how to create high-power lasers that can operate at the orbital trajectory. Another problem is how to remove debris from the orbiter. The satellite killers are based on the new ideas to remove space junk from orbiters.  The same systems that are used to remove space junk can be used in wartime to push enemy satellites to the ocean. The other version is to use EMP impulses to shut down enemy satellites. This system is required for removing EMP or FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) weapons from the orbiter. Also, it can destroy low-flying recon satellites pushing them into the atmosphere. There is suspicion that FOBS is a so-called sleeping satellite, equipped with a nuclear warhead.  In some other models, satellites can use tiny soft ammunition that can push the targeted satellites to the atmosphere without destroying them. In some other versions robot connects small balloons to satellites, and then the las

Then the interactive AI can interact with those systems and models. Similar systems can used for physical tools.  "DataCebo offers a generative software system called the Synthetic Data Vault to help organizations create synthetic data to do things like test software applications and train machine learning models.

Artist's rendition of a nuclear fusion reactor. (Intersting Engineering, New superconducting magnets ready for fusion reactions, say scientists) AI has a great ability to control entireties. The new AI-controlled fusion systems can precisely control the energy levels in the systems.  The ignition point is one of the biggest problems in fusion systems. If the energy level in high-speed plasma is too high, that thing causes a shockwave that destroys the entirety. Plasma spreads to large areas that the magnetic fields can control. When ignition happens the system must press plasma together, or shockwave and energy entropy destroy the plasma ring.  The precise point of the plasma ring where ignition happens is one of the most important things. If fusion starts inside the plasma ring, that thing causes an outgoing shockwave. And that shockwave destroys the plasma. If the ignition area covers the entire plasma ring, and it happens at its shell the ignition forms a shockwave that travels

"Focused ion beam technology is pivotal in nanoscale materials processing, with a new EU report outlining its broad applications and potential for future breakthroughs in science and technology. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Ion Beams Unleashed: The Nanotechnology Game Changer) Ion engines use ions as thrusters. The ion accelerator pushes ions back into the magnetic track. Then those ions will transport craft forward.   Ion beams are particle flows that are formed by electrically loaded particles. The systems can use ion beams to transport material over distances. The system can ionize things like raw materials and send them to the receiver. That must only remove electricity from ions and turn them into neutral atoms.  The ion beams can also destroy cancer cells and disinfect surfaces. In some visions. Sometimes in the future, the ion systems can used to create giant 3D structures. And that makes it possible to create space stations using ions and anions that are s

"Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have introduced an AI technique that significantly improves Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) by enabling it to visualize material features smaller than the probe’s tip. This breakthrough, offering the first true three-dimensional profiles beyond conventional resolution limits, promises to revolutionize nanoelectronics development and material studies". (ScitechDaily, New AI Breaks Fundamental Limitations of Atomic Force Microscopy) "Atomic force microscopy (AFM) or scanning force microscopy (SFM) is a very-high-resolution type of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), with demonstrated resolution on the order of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit."
