The mutation that helps animals in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster area resist cancer can help to win against cancer.

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 make it possible to create cows that form cheap insulin. The same thing can also make it possible to clone the pancreas cells. So gene therapy can reprogram the pancreas to produce insulin again. 

"Researchers have discovered that proteins from tardigrades, known for surviving extreme conditions, can slow molecular processes in human cells, offering promising applications in aging research and cell storage. This finding paves the way for developing new technologies to enhance human health and treat diseases." (ScitechDaily, Unlocking the Secrets of Immortality: Tardigrade Proteins Slow Aging in Human Cells)


Natural selection removed cancer genomes from the population thing caused the effect where only animals that can resist cancer can make descendants. And that thing is one of the examples of how changes in the environment can make evolution faster. The data collected from those animals can give new ideas for a cure for cancer. Maybe someday we can remove cancer genomes from our genetic material. Those animals at nuclear disaster sites can give genetic material that can used to remove cancer genomes from the human body.

Another interesting thing is how the tardigrade proteins slow aging in human cells. That thing is interesting because this makes it possible to increase lifetime. Tardigrades are small insects that can turn themselves into conditions where their metabolism is almost zero. Another thing that extends a lifetime is that the cell can remove the metabolism waste from inside it. This is why people who have a wealthy lifestyle seem younger. In their case, there is less toxic waste in their cells, because high metabolism removes the metabolism waste from the body.

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
