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 developers can use to create the nanomachines. The nanomaterial means material that looks the same as normal material. But there are nanometer-sized internal structures. That gives those materials new abilities. If we think about things like nanotechnical wires. 



The ability to create complicated structures. Can make it possible to create medicines and structures that can make many things possible from medicine to nanomachines and DNA-based data storage. 

The nanotechnical wire can have structures that look like plates. There can be a pike on the other side of the plate. And hole at another side. That thing makes it possible to increase the length of the wire. Or if something cuts the wire. It's possible to create a structure that can fix itself. The only need is to put those gripping surfaces together. The nanowires can form structures like nano-canvas that can fix their damages without needing help. 

Nanotechnology is an impressive tool. The viruses that can take any form are the things that can make many things for nanotechnology. When the virus is made the structure the UV-radiation can destroy the DNA. And that helps to create a complicated crystal structure that is suitable for nanotechnology. 

The data can be stored in genetically engineered cells to create the wanted forms. (ScitechDaily, Nature-Inspired Viruses Form Living “Sunflowers” To Combat Disease)

The form of the cell can mean zero or one. The third form can mean. That the system must wait for the new cell. 

In DNA-based data storage, the system can use the forms that genetically engineered cells can take to transmit data to an AI-based operating system. 

If we think of the possibility of creating DNA-based data storage. There is one simple way to create that thing without the need to read the DNA. DNA-controlled viruses or cells can take a series of certain forms. There is a need for two or three forms if the DNA-based data storage uses binary data storage. 

Those forms like "star" can mean one, and "square" can mean zero. And ring might mean that the DNA ends and the system must wait for the next cell or virus group. There can be two groups of cells. The other is dark and another has a genome for bioluminance. The system shares the data in two cell lines and it can use the luminance to see that the system has changed the cell. 

The other forms have let's say pink and red colors. And the other is green and yellow. In those systems, the data is stored in two lines. The system feeds the reading system. By using those lines one after one. A change of color or shine tells that the cell or virus group is changed. And that makes the reader collect data together. 

Or red sunflower can mean one and yellow sunflower can mean zero. The green sunflower can mean the end of the DNA. The system requires a microscope with a machine view to observe those structures. The operating system follows those images. That the cells or viruses can make. And then it can use the DNA as data storage in an easy way.

Viruses are the ultimate threat, but they are also the ultimate transmitters of genetic material.




Viruses are very important transmitters when the genomes are transmitted over the borders of species. The viruses are also a threat because they are hard to detect. Detection happens after some person or animal has been infected. 

 And the blood or tissue samples are involving antigens that are telling about virus infection. The thing is that viruses and especially artificial viruses are extremely powerful tools in bio and especially genetic engineering. 

Sometimes is researched the possibility to use the bacteriophages, the viruses that are destroying bacteria as the tool for controlling infections. The sad thing is that AIDS or HIV is one of the bacteriophages. In some scenarios, the genetically engineered HIV would use to destroy leukemia cells. The idea is that the specially engineered viruses would infect the cancer cells. 

And there is the possibility to make the viruses that can transmit their genomes only to cancer cells. The biggest problem is how to deny that viruses infect other than cancer cells. One of the solutions would create viruses which genomes can fit only to the ion pumps that exist only on the membrane of the cancer cells. But that requires the existence of that kind of ion pump. Genome therapy makes it possible to remove things like hereditary diseases. Nanotechnology makes it possible to create synthetic DNA. 

And that thing allows researchers to create things like artificial stem cells. Maybe in the future. The genetic code of every person's stem cells is stored in the computer. And if that person requires stem cells the system would clone those cells in the laboratory. In that case, every single person would have their stem cells laboratory waiting for their use. 

In some more futuristic ideas, the cells of every organ of the person would store in the laboratory. And if some organ would be damaged. The bioprinters would create a new organ for the person. This technology would turn the person immortal. The thing is that cloning human is possible. There is the possibility to change the genetic material from the nucleus of the fertilized eggs. In that process, the original genomes are pulled away. 

And the replacing genomes would inject into the cell. This thing is one of the most interesting things in genetic engineering. This kind of thing might be prohibited. But as you know the law is quite a weak thing. There is always the possibility to travel to countries where are no laws about this kind of thing. And the people who are working with this kind of thing might work remotely over the internet. They can control the robot arms by using remote-control tools.

Rockets can also deliver naval mines and torpedoes.

New rocket abilities make them more dangerous. Iran uses rockets to deliver sea mines. That is the new threat to navies. The rocket-delivere...
