Nature can give models for the next generation robots and microchips.

Muscle cells can rotate small-size generators. 


The MIT researchers are creating new. Low voltage artificial cells for improving the performance of the microrobots. (1)This is one way to improve the operational areas of small-size flying robots. There is another way to make the power source that uses biological components. The idea is that the muscle cells of flies would connect to cranks. 

And those systems are rotating miniaturized generators. This kind of robot can drink sugar-liquid. And the muscle cells can be natural but genetically transformed that they cannot split. Removing that ability guarantees. The cells are staying in the right form and right places. 

Or those cells can be cloned and grown in cell cultures. This kind of system can work by using the same nutrient with living organisms. And those miniature generators can deliver electricity for the computers and other systems that this miniature robot carries 


The fullerene chains can use as artificial DNA. In this text. The term "artificial DNA" means the carbon chain that acts like natural DNA or RNA. 


The artificial DNA can operate as a chemical computer program. The thing is that these kinds of things might not be the DNA as the natural form. The term "artificial DNA" can also mean the fullerene chains that act like real DNA or RNA molecules. 

The artificial DNA can act as the ROM (Read Only Memory) program for microchips and that thing can use for base-programming for miniature machines. In that case, the base movements of the system are stored in the  chemical computer program

Artificial DNA does not mean that the chemical computer program is like DNA. In the chemical computer program, researchers can replace normal molecules and base pairs of DNA can replace by using fullerene and the other elements. There are four bases in the normal DNA. 

"Two nitrogen-containing bases (or nucleotides) that pair together to form the structure of DNA. The four bases in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C). Base pair may also refer to the actual number of base pairs, such as 8 base pairs, in a sequence of nucleotides"(2).

So those nucleotides can replace by using some metals. That is connected to the fullerene. Or if we think sharply the fullerene itself can form the structure that can use as a data transporter. The fullerene balls would connect to the nanostructure. 

And they can form a similar nanostructure with DNA or RNA molecules. The fullerene balls form the ladder-looking structure like in natural DNA. And the length of the "stairs" would be the code that the molecule is giving. In the binary model, one fullerene ball could mean 0, and two fullerene balls might mean 1.

The artificial chemical computer programs can also operate as the qubit modes. In that case, one ball might mean zero. Two balls mean one, and three fullerene balls might mean 2, etc. That kind of chemical code can secure the microchips. 

There is the possibility that nanotechnology (3) can use to create real DNA molecules. This thing means that in the future. We will see more complicated and more effective solutions of the combination of nano- and biotechnology. Things like cloned muscle cells and neurons are the things that give the capacity of the small-size robot to more complicated operations than ever before.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible....

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...
