For the first time, Scientists chanced the bonds of a single molecule.

The new ability to change chemical bonds in a single molecule can be a revolutionary advance in nanotechnology. That makes it possible to connect new parts to nanomachines and makes it possible to creates new and more complicated molecules. And nanomachines are complicated molecules.

The IBM researchers used a scanning probe microscope for that operation, as you can see from above. There is the possibility to use also nanolasers for similar purposes. When the system creates nanomachines, nanolasers can adjust the temperature of the single atoms. 

The temperature determines the reaction force of the atoms and molecules. The scanning probe microscope will observe the position of the molecules. And also it can use the subatomic tractor beams for making precise right structures. 




Nanotechnology can use to create new and small-size electronic components like microchips that are controlling robots that are smaller than a flea. Those robots can get their control signals and electricity through the air by radio waves. 

But they can also have small-photovoltaic cells. And the laser systems can deliver electricity for those systems. In the most advanced models, the living electric cells can deliver electricity to those systems. And that means those robot fleas can be very independent. The biological power source requires only sugars. That means the robot flea can drink the same things as humans. 

The subatomic tractor beams, along with nanolasers. And scanning probe microscopes can turn the molecules in the wanted directions. That makes it possible to create complicated and well-adjusted molecular-size structures. Nanomachines can make many things like clean water and remove tumors from places where surgeons cannot reach them. The accuracy of nanomachines is very high. But the problem is how to control them? 

Nanotechnology is a key element in next-generation genetic engineering. The nanorobots will cut the DNA just from the wanted points.  And then those machines can make synthetic DNA. That allows for interconnecting DNA between species that are far from each other. This thing makes it possible that maybe in the world of tomorrow is not things like cancer. But there is needed lots of work with that thing.

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
