Axolotl, the walking fish is an animal, what doesn't have cancer and what can renew it tissues incredible fast. This animal is endangered, because of pollutions and there is the only couple of places in nature, where this animal can be found. The reason for that danger of the animal is pollutions because the skin of this tiny animal is so sensitive, and it would not stand the pollutions. The "walking fish" interests people, because that animal would not have cancer, and it can grow the new foot or organs if it's injured, and it actually can renew almost every part in its body.


This small salamander can also regenerate the neurons, and that is very attractive for persons, who are creating the cure against cancer. If the massive part of the brains must be removed in the case of a brain tumor or accident, there is the possibility that in the someday the Axolotl can help us to regenerate the new brain tissue, in the case of accidents or tumors, and in the cases, where the person would go underwater too long time the brains can destroy because the loss of oxygen. The accidents are the most common thing, what could take the person to the neurological hospital for rest of the life. And if we could regenerate the neurons, we could rescue those people live.


If we could renew our hands or other parts of the body the surgery would be more easy and effective than today. If there would be the tumor in the hand or leg, the doctor could make amputation, and then the new hand or leg would be grown to replace the removed body part. And in the wildest dreams could the doctors create the entire new body for patients. If doctors could use the own tissue of the person,  that would help against immune reactions. There is one very interesting fact with the name of this little salamander. It is named after the Aztec god of lightning and death, and here we must ask, "why this tiny animal has been named after this god"? Did Aztecs use the abilities of that small lizard for some purposes? Those are the interesting things, where we can get answers in some day.

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...

The new observations and observation tools are revolutionizing nanotechnology and the way of thinking in physics.

ScitechDaily.com "A new study has overturned a fundamental principle of physics by demonstrating that similarly charged particles can attract each other in a solution, with the effect varying between positive and negative charges depending on the solvent. This discovery has significant implications for various scientific processes, including self-assembly and crystallization". (ScitechDaily, Opposites Attract, Likes Repel? Scientists Overturn Fundamental Principle of Physics) The research reveals the importance of solvent structure at the interface in determining interparticle interactions, challenging long-held beliefs and indicating a need for a re-evaluation of our understanding of electromagnetic forces.

And same polar particle or object interaction revolutionized the knowledge of magnetism. They say. The sy...
