The biomimetic robot that emulates polyps is a new tool for robotics.

"Researchers from Tampere University in Finland and Anhui Jianzhu University in China have made a significant breakthrough in soft robotics. Their groundbreaking study introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots capable of navigating complex environments, with promising applications in fields such as medicine and environmental monitoring." (Tuni.fi/Breakthrough in soft robotics: First toroidal micro-robot to swim autonomously in viscous liquids)

The University of Tampere, Finland along with Anhui Jianzhu University in China. Made the new donut-shaped robot that emulates polyp. The thing with that robot is that it can operate independently.

This robot uses light to swim in viscose liquid. The ring-shaped robot can operate in liquids like blood or polluted water. And that ability makes it suitable for mapping things like harmful bacteria. The donut robot can also take samples from suspicious tissues and bacteria formation.

The robot can also close things like blood vessels which makes it suitable to help surgeons. Closing the blood vessels makes it possible to limit blood flow into the tumors. And that is one of the most fundamental cures for cancer. The surgeon can put cathedra that deliver light into the blood vessel, and then give control signals to that robot.

The thing is that this kind of robot is suitable for many missions. The deep-sea systems can send them to research caves in the ocean bottom. The larger submarines and underwater drones can give control signals to those robots using laser light. The larger donut robots can also involve microchips that allow them to operate independently.

When we think about miniature robots there are lots of uses for those systems. Those systems can operate in the deep sea, sewers, wastewater treatment plants, the human body, and even on other planets. Maybe in the future. A swarm of those miniature robots will operate in Titan moon hydrocarbon oceans or Jupiter's atmosphere.

But those systems are excellent tools for military intelligence. They can travel in the water supply, and slip in closed areas. Then they can record everything that people say. Or those robots can take samples of the water around ships. To uncover the chemical compounds of the fuels and other things. Autonomous miniature robots are things. That can operate in many fields from science to the military.

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
