The MIT researchers created an aircraft that flies without any moving parts.




The idea of that kind of craft is that the ionized air will pull between wings. And that airflow forms buoyancy. The MIT design might seem very peaceful. That kind of airborne system where is no moving parts can use to make new radical miniature aerial vehicles. And the same system can also use in miniature underwater concepts. The thing is that new multi-use and sophisticated systems can also fly. 

The ion systems can also use in new powerful V/STOL (Vertical/ Short Take-Off and Landing) technology. In that case, the aircraft can have antennas or mushes that ionize the air. Then the magnetic systems can pull that ionized airflow below wings and make the aircraft rise from the ground. The ion-based technology makes the airflow that rises aircraft. 

The ion-based systems can also use for aircraft action systems. The ionized gas that comes behind the aircraft can blind other aircraft and destroy the electronics of the missiles. But the ion engines are making it possible to create new and powerful hypersonic aircraft. 

The same technology can use to make ion engine-driven hypersonic aircraft. In the hypersonic systems, the air channels that are equipped with magnetic accelerators will make through the wings in the horizontal direction. The speed of those ions depends on the power of electricity in those channels. 

The aircraft ionizes the air at the front of the air channel. And then the acceleration track will be accelerating the ionized air. The difference between this concept and electric jet engines is that. There are no moving parts in an engine. That means there is no problem with rotating turbines. 

This technology can connect with electric jet engines very easily. The compressor face of the turbine can close when the aircraft speed turns too high. And then the air will flow in the acceleration track around the turbine. Or the turbines and turbogenerators can be in the body of aircraft. And in that case, those systems are delivering electricity to the separated magnetic accelerators. 

This kind of system can connect with solar panels and RAT (Rapid Air Turbine systems) and even nuclear reactors or remote energy transmit systems. That means the system can collect energy from many places. And that thing makes them multi-use and economic.

Nanotechnology can bring the cure for cancer.




The imagination is the limit in biotechnology. The tiny nanodevices are made out of DNA for treating cancer, and they can use to boost immune defense very effectively. The nanomachines can connect the genomes in immune cells that can make them create antibodies without the need to get the traditional vaccine. 

The nanomachines can also use to fix the errors in chromosomes. And that thing can remove some heritable diseases from the human race. The thing is that nanomachines can also remove certain sequences from the DNA. And that means researchers can remove violent behavior from genomes. 

The thing is that the nanomachines can create artificial DNA and connect the wanted DNA bites over species. The new nanotechnology is the thing that can use to create superhumans who are stronger, wealthier, and more intelligent than natural humans. But the synthetic DNA can use in many more things. It can use to connect the electric cells of electric eel with vegetables. 

That thing can use to make biological solar panels. That can use to make clean energy for people. Also, things like neurons can clone by using nanomachines. The idea is that the genomes of the regular cell are changed to genomes of neurons. That kind of neurons can use in research, they can use in computer technology. And those neurons can use to fix the brain damages. 

Nanotechnology can also use to create artificial, cloned stem cells. When we are thinking about the possibilities that nanotechnology is giving us in the future when people are fetuses their stem cells are stored in databases in digital form. And if someday those people will need stem cells nanomachines create that DNA and then transfer it to some other cells. That means all people can have their cell bank where is always stem cells. 

But synthetic DNA can also use in the most lethal military technology in the world. Traditional bioweapon makers could use only natural viruses and bacteria. There is the possibility to make artificial viruses and bacteria that can be used for the most lethal biological weapons in the world. The bacteria can use as a virus factory. Artificial viruses can be a real nightmare. By connecting corona and filoviruses researchers can create the worst biological weapons in history.

New doctrine on the battlefield is rising.



One thing that we must realize is that combat drones are meant for operating with manned systems. That means the combat aircraft can drop quadcopters to the operational area. Or they can operate as mixed swarms where is manned and unmanned aircraft. Some people are saying that combat drones are non-humanitarian systems. But the fact is that they are effective. The combat drone and hybrid army where the man operates along with robots. Is one of the most terrifying things that we can imagine. 

The evolution of military systems is at crossroads. The next-generation systems might be a combination of extremely expensive multi-role combat aircraft. But those multi-role combat aircraft can drop the killer drones to the battlefield. And things like loyal wingman drones can operate along with manned systems. 

But the problem is that the purpose of the combat systems is to be terrifying. The mission of combat systems is to be afraid. Their purpose is to confess to other nations that are not acting against the state. And this is why the most of weapons are somehow nonhumanitarian. The purpose of military force is to be terrifying. Its purpose is to destroy and kill enemies. And that is the reason why the weapons are so frightening. 

And frightening weapons are effective weapons. Nuclear weapons are the most destructive things in the world. We all know what those weapons cause to people. But many nations are taking those weapons in their arsenal because they guarantee authority and respect for those countries and this is the reason why nuclear weapons are so wanted thing. And this is why other nations are criticizing those weapons. 

People are criticizing killer drones that they are non-humanitarian weapons. Same way cruise missiles, ICBM missiles machine guns, cannons, and other things like rocket launchers and mortars are not humanitarian weapons. Or are you ever heard of humanitarian weapons?

In the novel "The Naked Sun" novelist Isaac Asimov described one most terrifying things in the world. The mass-army of the robots. The man-shaped robots can easily handle all missions on the battlefield. The problem is the limit of their computing system. But times are changing and compact quantum computers can fix this problem. The power of quantum computers is making those systems unpredictable. And unpredictable robots are always dangerous. 

The robot armies are a terrifying thing. Commanders of robot armies must not care about losses. And robots are not excused orders. But there is one aspect that we must realize. There is one thing that is also causing criticism against robot soldiers. The robot armies can offer also small countries the conventional attack capacity that has been "reserved" for the largest militaries in the world. 

So if the country has a large-scale robot army. That system means. Even if a big arm attacks against that country. The result remains unknown. When we are thinking about traditional warfare the result of the war was easy to predict. A bigger nation always won the war. And other countries were easy to choose their side. The winner of the war was easy to predict. And that's why traditional armies were based the large groups of men and equipment. But then WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) took their place on the battlefield. 

The gas weapon was not effective against military groups who used gas masks and protective suits. Things like Chemical weapons were prohibited because they were not effective against combatants who use protective gear. But things like nuclear weapons are still in service. Nuclear weapons are easier to justify than some poison gasses.

Sometimes, somebody is said that the reason why aerosol or FAE explosives wanted to prohibit is not that the creators of those weapons are afraid that enemy snipers shoot at those bombs. The aerosol bomb is the propane tank where is detonator. If some sniper shoots at those tanks that can cause an explosion.

The 3D nano-skyscrapers can be used to make the new type of microchips. And even small-size quantum computers that can operate at room temperature can be possible by using biocomputers.


Image 1) "Researchers from the University of Cambridge used 3D printing. To create grids of high-rise ‘nano-housing’ where sun-loving bacteria can grow quickly".

"The researchers were then able to extract the bacteria’s waste electrons, leftover from photosynthesis, which could be used to power small electronics. Credit: Gabriella Bocchetti" (ScitechDaily/3D-Printed “Nano-Skyscrapers” Help Bacteria Convert Sunlight Into Electricity)

The 3D nano-skyscrapers can be used to make the new type of microchips. And even small-size quantum computers that can operate at room temperature can be possible by using biocomputers. Those systems can revolutionize nanotechnology. 

The nano-skyscrapers can offer the space where the bacteria that transform light to electricity can live. That kind of bacteria that transforms sunlight into electricity can deliver energy to the nano-size microprocessors. The nano-size microchips can use synthetic DNA as the springs that are operating as miniature switches.  

The fact is that the nanoscale springs that can transmit electricity can also make it possible to make the nano-scale quantum processors that can operate at room temperature. In that case, the data is traveling through the nanostructure in wires. And each of the wires is the one certain state or layer of the qubit. 

The fast DNA replication makes it possible to fix errors in the quantum system. The nano-size springs make it possible that the system can use binary as well as quantum mode. So, at first data and data-handling instructions are transmitted to the system by using the binary mode. Then the system can start to use quantum states. 

When we are thinking about this type of quantum computer there is the possibility that they use only the lines of the qubit. If the operations of this type of quantum computer are limited in the number of wires. That thing is still more effective than binary computers. 

But bio processors can also benefit bioluminescence light. For making the states for the qubit. The tubes where bacteria are growing can quip with the fast-operating dimmers. Those dimmers can control the light level that transmits data to the photovoltaic cells. The system can operate similarly with cameras. 

The extremely fast-operating dimmers adjust the light level. And the shutter cuts the data line. There is the possibility to put the CCD (Photovoltaic chip) on the nanotube or nano-skyscraper structure. And there is a color filter that can adjust the light, open and close in each of the tubes. Each wavelength that the CCD detects can be a certain state of the qubit. 





Image 2) "Test tubes holding water samples glow green inside an illuminator, indicating contamination. Credit: Northwestern University"(ScitechDaily/New DNA Computer Assesses Water Quality: Genetic Networks Mimic Electronic Circuits). 

The same technology is introduced in image 2. Can use for making electricity for the miniature quantum computer. In that case, every tube would equip with a closer and dimmer that makes it possible to adjust the light that travels to photovoltaic cells. 

Even if that kind of quantum computer is not possible those systems can deliver energy to nano-scale microprocessors that require extremely low voltage. 

Maybe those processors are not so powerful as the central computers are. But they can give more abilities for things like nanorobots. The computer that can use bioelectricity is interesting because it can operate without outcoming electricity. 

The only thing that this kind of system requires is nutrients that are delivering food to those bacteria. So the system can use an artificial stomach where are the same bacteria as humans. And the system can eat the same food as humans, and transfer it to electricity. But if the bacteria is a so-called vegetable. The normal vegetable fertilizer is enough. For making the power for the nano-tech processor. 

If there is some kind of damage in that kind of system the fast DNA replication allows to clone more of those electric bacteria. DNA auto replication allows also make the spare parts for the system. And that thing can be the next-generation tool for robotics. The lightweight and powerful microchips are required in independently operating small-size robots.

The new metasurface-based antenna harvests energy from the air.



Image 1) Radio telescopes can transmit energy. 


The idea of the transmit electricity through the air in the form of radio waves is not new. Nikola Tesla made experiments with that thing by using the famous Wardenclyffe tower. The problem with those experiments that Tesla made between the years 1901-1906 was that the technology was not advanced enough. Tesla's idea was to use tesla coils to make the power transmission. 

The thing that made Tesla's experiments unsuccessful. Was that the radio transmitter that he used could aim the radio waves. And that thing caused the electric arcs in the air. When the electricity was connected the radio transmission bounce back from the next tesla coil. And that thing caused an electric arc. (Wikipedia, Wardenclyffe tower

Today that thing can fix by using the radio-masers. The radio masers are sending very well-aimed radio rays through the air. and that thing makes it possible to send electricity to small robots and drones through the air. The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that it can use for sending data like control orders to drones at the same time when they are sending electricity for its system. 



Image 2) Wardenclyffe tower. (Wikipedia, Wardenclyffe tower)


There is made an experiment by using lasers and targeted radio waves or radio masers to transmit energy for the drones and small robots. The remote-load system makes it possible to create drones that can fly virtually forever. That remote electric transmitting systems can use in plasma-jet-based hypersonic aircraft. The fact is that the power of electric transmit determines the size of what this system can move. 

The new metasurface-based antenna can harvest energy from the radio waves. This antenna can use also in very sensitive radio systems that are capturing weak radio signals. That kind of antenna can deliver energy for simply low-power radio and other systems. But if the radio waves are transmitted to that antenna in purpose. The system can create more power. In that case, the system can use wireless power transmission. And even megawatts can transmit through the air. 



Image 3) Plasma jet engine-based hypersonic aircraft and drone swarms can use wireless energy transmit. (Wikipedia/Lockheed Martin SR-72)

It is also possible to connect the batteries to a series or side-by-side. And that makes them possible to create more power for electric circuits. 

The wireless energy transmit can use for giving electricity to drone swarms as well as electric jet engines. That kind of system can use high-power radio masers for delivering electricity for those systems that can fly virtually unlimited. But if the power of energy transmission is high enough even ships and cars can move with that kind of system. 

If the antenna is using multiple extremely thin layers. There is possible to use the Casimir effect for improving energy harvesting. This system could use natural radio waves for delivering energy for nanotechnology-based computers. 



Image 4) The futuristic interplanetary and interstellar spacecraft can harvest energy from cosmic radio waves. The panels and antennas of those crafts can harvest energy from the natural radiowaves. (Image: Pinterest)

But the thing that makes the new metasurface-based radio antennas interesting is that this method can use to send electricity to probes. That is traveling at the edge of the solar system. In dreams, there is the possibility to make a spacecraft. That has a multi-layer core. This core can harvest energy from cosmic radio transmissions by using the Casimir effect. 



Image 5) The Casimir effect can make it possible to harvest energy from the natural radio waves. (Wikipedia, Casimir effect)

The core can combine zero-point energy systems with the radio harvester. The zero-point energy system makes it possible that the spacecraft will pull the radiowaves in it. And that antenna layer will harvest it. This kind of power source can open our road outside our solar system. And even if the stars might be a little bit too far. That system can deliver energy for the radio telescopes that might someday hover outside the Kuiper belt and research cosmic hum.

The 3D printing systems can revolutionize hypersonic flight.



Artist's drawing of "The Hermeus", the first commercial prototype of hypersonic aircraft. 



3D printed catalysts are the new materials for hypersonic flight. The catalysts are a mixture of metal and synthetic minerals. But if the printing temperature is high enough that kind of system can mix the carbon fiber, metal, and quartz chrystals. That kind of material can have new abilities for new space and aviation technology. 

The 3D printing systems make it possible to create new forms for the body of hypersonic systems. The cell-type structure between the outer surface and the core of the aircraft is making the hypersonic flight more secure. 

The friction will heat the aircraft core to an extremely high temperature. And the cell-looking structure where is a vacuum layer in the cells minimizes the heat transfer to the inner core. If the hypersonic aircraft can jump to ballistic or low Earth-orbiting trajectory the 3D printer systems can also fix the damages of the aircraft's body or heat shield.

The 3D printers are more flexible systems than traditional spare parts because 3D printers can create any possible mechanical spare part. When the 3D printer system is making things like ventilators. The printing system can make every part of the ventilator separately. The system requires only the assembly orders and measures. Then the 3D printer makes those parts separately. And then robots will assemble them. The system can also have lasers that search for errors.

And also lasers are used to finish the part and remove errors in the structures. In some visions, the hypersonic aircraft can equip with holes. Where some kind of cold liquid can pull outside if the core of the aircraft is overheating. When manipulators are installed in the aircraft's core. And they are equipped with a 3D carbon fiber or metal printer. 

That allows fixing the damaged core during the flight inside the atmosphere. But if the aircraft can rise the outside of the atmosphere is possible to use a long manipulator for fixing holes. That kind of system can be mounted in the Mars craft. That system can fix the damages during space flight to Mars and back.

Do we know the risks and possibilities of genetic engineering?




What is natural?


Have you ever seen liger? Liger is the hybridization between tiger and lion. And that animal is not the only hybrid species that is created in the laboratory. The film above this text introduces interesting lion hybrids. 

But we forget that genetic engineering allows researchers to connect genomes even from vegetables to humans. And that thing makes the "little green men" possible. In movies, the "little green men" are some stereotypic aliens. 

When we are thinking that the skin of the extraterrestrial alien would have a photosynthesis ability. That allows them to live without vegetables. But there is the possibility to combine the genome that controls the chlorophyll production in vegetables with the skin cells of humans. 

The genetically engineered "little green men" or vegetable-human hybrid would have green skin. That has an ability to photosynthesis. In that case, the genome that makes chlorophyll for vegetables would transfer to the skin cells. And that makes the skin photosynthetic. Genome therapy or genome transplants can use for removing hereditary diseases or improve the lifetime of humans. 


x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x


The use of bacteria as the medium. In genome transplant. 


The genomes >>>Transplant to bacteria>>>Bacteria will inject to blood>>>Then that bacteria is starting to create retroviruses that transfer genomes to human cells. 


x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The genome transplant can make by using genetically engineered bacteria. Those bacteria can create viruses that are used to transfer genomes to human cells. But the same technology can use for creating bacteria that create viruses for biological weapons. 

When we are looking at things like genetic engineering. We are facing animals that cannot even exist in the natural world. Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the ultimate combinations for creating hybrid species that can be the salvation of the worst nightmare in human history. There is the possibility to connect genomes over species that are not combined. 

The genomes of vegetables, insects, and mammals can combine by using nanorobots. And that kind of experiment can bring a new way to produce tissues for organ transplants. Another way to think is that those experiments are bringing new dangerous species to nature. 

Genetic engineering makes it possible to combinate the genomes of diatoms and some other organisms that allow making the crystals which growth is the DNA controlled. Or it can use to make the turtle whose shield has a silicon core. The core of diatoms is silicone. And nanomachines can combine those genomes with the cells that create the shield of those animals.



The artist's humorous drawing portrays the angry green man. (Pinterest)


The thing that makes turtles interesting is that those lizards live a very long time. And the genomes that allow turtles to live about 150 years are researched in laboratories. That kind of genome can be the key to extending our lifetime. But then we are facing the key question, what is natural? 

When we are thinking about liger from the top of the text we must remember that there is the possibility that the hybrid species can escape from laboratories. And that kind of thing is causing risks. The most well-known hybrid animal is the hybridization of dogs and wolves. That hybridization is used to keep some dog breeds wealthy. 

Outcoming genomes are needed to connect to dog breeds for removing degeneration. That happens through the dog-wolf. Dogwolves are causing problems because they are not afraid of people. And they can attack also humans more often than a normal wolf. Those outcoming genomes are keeping those dog breeds wealthy. Outcome genomes remove things like character defects. 

The thing that we forget about the dogs is that those cute fellows are not natural. They are created by hybridizing things like hyenas and probably red wolves or grey wolves. It's unknown which canines were used for making the first dogs. At first, humans tamed wolves. But then humans started to breed those wolves. And breeding means that there must be connected genomes from other wolf species like hyenas and African wild dogs. The dog is one of the most bred animals in the world.

Cosmic vacuums and gravitational drive.

Maybe. We can never create the WARP drive. That can transport entire spacecraft. But maybe. We could create the dark point in the light wave...
