Westinghouse Corporation's new "eVinci" microreactors don't need water.

   Westinghouse Corporation's new "eVinci" microreactors don't need water.  Microreactors or micro nuclear reactors are the next-generation tools for power supply. Many of those systems are planned to be portable, and portable nuclear reactors called "PoNu" can offer non-centralized power supply solutions for temporary or static use. The operators can connect microreactors into series or in lines. And that makes those small nuclear power plants give very high power.  Portable nuclear reactors can give very flexible solutions for many things. In some models, the portable nuclear reactor can give electricity to the truck that transports it to a ship or aircraft. Then that reactor can connect to the ship's or aircraft's electric systems. And it can give power to that. The same system can deliver energy to the area where it is transported.  TRISO (TRi-structural ISOtropic particle fuel). fuel pellets cannot melt even at high temperatures. That makes thos...

Sierra Space's Dream Chaser miniature shuttle advances ISS supply.

    Sierra Space's Dream Chaser miniature shuttle advances ISS supply.  Dream Chaser miniature shuttle is one of the miniature space shuttles, like X37B, developed for civil and military purposes. NASA used Dream Chaser to transport equipment to the ISS (International Space Station). This miniature shuttle can make its missions manned or unmanned.  The Dream Chaser and its companions can also fix satellites and make many other space duties. The miniature shuttles can carry repairement robots to trajectory. Those robots can also remove critical parts from jammed military and civil satellites that operate in confidential roles. That denies the confidential information transfer to hostile hands.  The space shuttles can carry radars or telescopes. That can observe ground and other satellites. Those radars can find lost cities in the jungle.  But it also can search underground complexes. That kind of radio signal will not involve data.  "Illustration o...

This type of extreme transportation technology is not yet possible.

    This type of extreme transportation technology is not yet possible.  Hyperloop shuts down.  Hyperloop the tube train in which low pressure sucks forward in a vacuum tube is one kind of hype. The company ended its operations because it didn't get any customers. But the idea of this kind of train, which reaches about 1500 km/h remains. The political situation is not suitable for this kind of long-distance travel. And there were also some kind of technical problems. But the major problem was the needed infrastructure. The low-pressure tubes were very expensive. And the company ends its operations. Technical and political things destroyed nice ideas.  The idea of the hyperloop gave another very interesting idea for ultra-fast transportation. The idea is that the magnetic levitation train will connect with the hyperloop. The problem is that the speed of this kind of train could be even hypersonic. And if there is a problem with the brakes, that train will impact ...

The AI solved one new mystery. And maybe in the future, our news will be AI-made.

    The AI solved one new mystery. And maybe in the future, our news will be AI-made.  The AI can observe and control multiple objects at the same time. That means the AI can find out many new things from the information that it finds from sensors and archives. AI-based news is a new tool for information technology. The AI found the secret of polycrystalline materials. And the thing is that the AI is an ultimate tool for making complex 3D structures.  The AI can also create 3D models of things like buildings and fit them to the wanted background. So tomorrow AI can act also as a tool for architects. The AI can make wave movement simulations in the building. The system can make simulations of the echoes. And make models. Following the orders that its users give. The AI requires some kind of models and clear orders that it can connect to orders.  Image: Finlandia hall is one of the pieces of architectural jewelries.  The AI can search models of famous ar...

Programmable bacteria can revolutionize medical work.

    Programmable bacteria can revolutionize medical work.  Programmable synthetic bacteria can be game-changers in many places from medical work to nature research and military applications. The customized cyborg bacteria can involve shell antigens that don't activate the immune system.  The price of robot bacteria is low. The cyborg bacteria cost is less than 1$. And that thing makes them suitable for multiple missions. In nature, researchers can use those cyborg bacteria to remove pollution. They can also research microcosmos like underwater lifeforms smaller than water droplets.  The cyborg bacteria can also operate as a recon tool. That slips in an enemy base and searches things that happen in there. Like full-scale robots, cyborg bacteria can act as swarms of full-scale drones. Cyborg bacteria swarms can clean polluted watercourse. They can observe many small things. And then those systems can act as the most brutal weapons. That humans ever created....

AI has changed the world faster than the net.

 AI has changed the world faster than the net. The AI or language models like Chat GPT and its followers are the tools that revolutionize the entire ICT infrastructure. Network-based applications are tools that can revolutionize working life and the AI-based architecture will make another bigger revolution.  The AI makes everybody a programmer. The thing in business life is that the work must done effectively, and it should not be difficult. This thing has been one bottleneck for ICT development. The easiest way is not always the best way. Network-based applications are good tools for attackers.  That they can ride with those programs. The attackers search for vulnerabilities in software. To make the application safe programmers must make complicated code and observe the source code so that attackers can't replace their source file by using their source files, where there are a couple of viruses packed with that program.  A simpler way is that attackers cheat their t...

Can we call morphing deep-learning networks as lifeforms?

   Can we call morphing deep-learning networks as lifeforms?  Sometimes SETI researchers created a hypothesis about the silicone-based lifeforms. Silicone-based lifeforms are not necessarily "living" like we are. If determination for life is a creature that can create descendants. We can say that things like self-replicating machines called Von Neumann machines are lifeforms as well as some tigers. Also, DNA-controlled crystals that can replicate themselves can be the "lifeforms".  Same way AI-based computer programs can exchange codes with each other. And the operating system allows the computer to learn things. And that makes it possible to ask, are those self-developing computer programs electric lifeforms? Self-replicating computer programs or computer viruses are electric Von Neumann machines.  The Von Neumann machine can exchange data with other Von Neumann or self-replicating machines. And if they have a complex, AI-based operating system, they can modify...

The AI-controlled robot can be a good research assistant.

    The AI-controlled robot can be a good research assistant.  The researchers can use the robots as external bodies. They can connect their computers to the robots on the other side of Earth. So researchers can operate remotely in laboratories. That is at the side of the Earth. The robot uses augmented reality to perform operations like chemical tests. That should done in a fully controlled environment.  The robot that follows the person's every word is always problematic. The reason for that is those systems can allow to circumvent export restrictions. The operator who sits at home in Sweden or Finland can use that robot remotely in the laboratory that is in Indonesia or China. That person can produce things and solutions using that exobody. The robot body that works in the laboratory can also observe people and things that people do in those laboratories.  The robot can operate in laboratories where is at high risk of getting dangerous biological, chemic...

Methane can be the modern rocket propellant.

    Methane can be the modern rocket propellant.  Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon. That hydrocarbon has one carbon and four hydrogen atoms. It's quite easy to separate carbon from methane, and that thing produces hydrogen. Methane is easy to produce.  And when that bacteria destroys organic materials, it produces methane. The carbon makes methane so-called greenhouse gas. But removing carbon is possible to create hydrogen.  Both hydrogen and methane are next-generation rocket fuels. The startup company called "Orbital Fab" was introduced to create orbital gasoline stations for satellites.  That tanker-satellite transfers hydrazine into other satellites. But that system could also use some more environmentally friendly fuels like methane.  And that satellite can involve a bioreactor, where bacteria turn organic material into methane. Space shuttles like X-37B can use those spaceborne petroleum stations. Or they can transfer fuel to space. ...

Researchers used molecules as qubits.

    Researchers used molecules as qubits. The use of extremely cold molecules as qubits is a quantum leap. Molecular superposition and entanglement are things, that make it easier to make qubits than use something like superpositioned and entangled photons in that mission. Molecular quantum superposition and entanglement give more freedom for researchers to make the qubits, and molecular qubits can have multiple states and levels for those states.  If researchers use heterogenic molecules like atom chains, multiple different elements make it possible to use every single atom as the individual state for a very big qubit. In this model, that atom chain is the frame for the qubit. And the type of atoms is not the important thing. Important is that those atoms are different elements.  The hydrocarbon chain or water molecules can make the qubit. In those systems the radiation stress makes those atoms send radiation at their frequency. And that means the spectrum line...

Organic computers: modern Frankenstein.

     Organic computers: modern Frankenstein.  Do you know what the term cybernetics means? That term means the combination of genetically engineered cells and computer technology. Or simpler: communication between living organism and machine. Cyborg or cybernetical organism means a hybrid system. That connects living organisms and robots.  What if we download our mind or EEG to the computer? Maybe regular, non-organic computers don't mind a thing about that. But biological computers or computers that use cloned neurons to improve their productive capacity make those things powerful systems. But the EEG that transfers to those cells makes them act like human neurons. The biological computer might have feelings and consciousness. And that makes them cybernetic organisms.  Through microchips, those neurons can control servo-engines and other things. The genetically engineered electric eel's electric cells can give energy to the servo and electric engines....

The MIT found new aspects of mice intelligence.

    The MIT found new aspects of mice intelligence.  The new aspect in mice intelligence tells that the new systems like MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) and X-ray-based Synchroton-radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy or CT scanners can find many new things in the well-known species nervous systems.  The ability to produce single electron-positron pairs makes it possible to create very short-term X-ray impulses. And those impulses are not so harmful to tissues. That ability is a key element in X-ray stroboscopy. That allows researchers to make X-ray images of very short-term reactions.  Today we know that the size of the brain is not important when we measure intelligence. The number of neurons and neural connections determines the intelligence of species. The small size doesn't automatically mean a short life. Another thing that determines many things in a creature's survivability, is the ability to learn things.  "A recent MIT study on mouse behavi...

Artificial black holes can change our knowledge of energy and time.

     Artificial black holes can change our knowledge of energy and time.  Maybe we can use in the future, artificial black holes as quantum computers. In those futuristic quantum systems, black holes can form stable superposition and entanglement in their halos. The problem is that if we create a black hole in the atmosphere. It pulls lots of gas inside it. And that material feeds that black hole. But if we can someday control that thing, it changes everything that we know. The artificial black hole gravitational lensing would be the most powerful observation tool that astronomers can imagine. There is the possibility that researchers can create a small black hole in the absolute ball-shaped capsule and control it.  One of the most interesting energy solutions we can imagine is an artificial black hole. If we someday can create artificial black holes, those things will change our idea of information, time, and energy. Theoretically, researchers can create tiny b...
