Ions and metasurfaces are the new tools for robotics.

"Schematics of multiplexing metadevices based on coherent wave interferences.

The photonic or photon-reacting and interacting metasurfaces make it possible to create devices that can operate independently in complex situations.  Those photonic-controlled devices can make things like highly advanced morphing systems possible. In nanotechnology, it's essential to control systems. That is smaller than some molecules. And the metasurfaces are one thing that makes that system possible. When we think about systems like cars and robots that can change their shape, we must realize one thing.  Those morphing surfaces will be created by nanomachines that act as the morphing neural network. Those small robots can take any form that they ordered. The system can interact wit

Solar wind research. And the use of diamonds to cool the atmosphere.

The solar wind is the particle flow that the source is in the sun. The mystery thing is how deep the solar wind forms. And the second question is how much the sun's magnetic field will accelerate those particles. And what role things like photons and impacting opposite and same polar particles play in that flow.  So how much photons accelerate those ions and electrons? That infor

Bacteriophages can take the form of sunflowers.

"McMaster University researchers found that bacteriophages treated under specific conditions form flower-like structures that are highly efficient in targeting bacteria, opening new possibilities for the treatment and detection of diseases." (ScitechDaily, Nature-Inspired Viruses Form Living “Sunflowers” To Combat Disease) Complicated DNA-controlled structures can revolutionize medicine development. But it can make also many more things.  Bacteriophages can make forms that look like sunflowers. Their ability to combine their bodies makes phages more effective against targeted bacteria. Sunflower-form virus structures can be a tool for researchers to use against infections. However, those virus structures are also interesting tools for people who create nanomachines and nanostructures.  As you see, viruses can make complicated structures. And that makes it possible to use them to create structures for nanomechanics. The DNA-controlled crystal formation is the tool that develop
