The microrobots will turn smarter and faster than ever before.



Polish writer Stanislaw Lem introduced intelligent sandstorms in his novel, the Invincible. In that novel, the spacecraft lands on an alien world. That was under the control of the technical creature that was the swarm of nanomachines. The techno-organism involved two parts. 

The manufacturing system. That created those nanomachines. Those moving robots formed intelligent sand that could be nanorobots or quadcopters that formed intelligent dust or intelligent smoke. The system might use silicone as a raw material for the drone swarms. Those drone swarms used electromagnetic weapons to eliminate their enemies. Drones started to fly around the target, and then they aimed microwave transmitters at it. 

When we think about this kind of system. Those nanomachines can boosted with living neurons. Those nanomachines can also carry things like antimatter, and one miniature robot can destroy large-size structures. That kind of technology is interesting and dangerous. Those nanomachines can create an intelligent entirety. 

And if nobody stops the expanding population of those machines they can turn wiser than humans, if they have enough neurons. The large-size miniature machine-clouds can have the same computing power as supercomputers. In that case, those systems have regular microprocessors, but bioprocessors can make that drone swarm more intelligent than humans. 



In some visions, those manufacturing units can look like some kind of snake. If they can move. 


Researchers can install miniature manufacturing technology in humanoid robots. Those manufacturing platforms pull silicone and metals in them. And the manufacturing system turns that thing into the nanomachines. An interesting idea is that those systems can use hemoglobin batteries as power sources. 

The miniature microchips and wireless energy transmitting that researchers can combine with the communication technology could make the sand bite-size miniature drones possible. Those miniature drones can make intelligent sandstorms into reality. The intelligent sandstorms can be dangerous because if those drones fly at very high speeds, they can act as bullet swarms. 

Intelligent sandstorms are the next-generation tools for civil and military technology. Those nano-sized robots can swim in human blood vessels and make new-era medical treatments. But those machines can slip into houses and move around the communication cables. And they can eavesdrop on anything that the controller wants.

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
