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.

There is a suggestion that dark matter may have deformed another universe.

The researchers suggest that dark matter is the deformed dark universe. Or in the most exciting theories, dark matter is the dark universe inside our universe. In that theory dark matter is entangled with the visible material. That theory is taken from the multiverse theory. There our visible universe is one of many universes. The other universes can be invisible because their electrons and quarks are different sizes. And that thing makes those other universes invisible to us.  Another hypothesis is that the hypothetical other universes send radiation that radiation from our universe pushes away. Things like invisible 9th. planet causes ideas that maybe there is another universe in our universe. The thing that makes the mysterious dark matter interesting is that. The dark matter can form structures that can be similar to visible material. But those structures are not visible.  The multiverse theory is not new. The thing in that theory is that there are multiple universes at this moment

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica

Nano-acoustic systems make new types of acoustic observation systems possible.

' Acoustic diamonds are a new tool in acoustics.  Another way to make very accurate soundwaves is to take a frame of 2D materials like graphene square there is a hole. And then electrons or laser beams can make that structure resonate. Another way is to use the electromagnetic field that resonates with the frame and turns electromagnetic energy into an oscillation in the frame.  Nano-acoustic systems can be the next tool for researching the human body. The new sound-wave-based systems make it possible to see individual cells. Those soundwave-based systems or nano-sonars are tools that can have bigger accuracy. Than ever before. The nano-sonar can use nanodiamonds or nanotubes as so-called nano-LRAD systems that send coherent sound waves to the target. In nanotube-based systems, the nanotube can be in the nanodiamond.  The term acoustic diamond means a diamond whose system oscillates. The system can create oscillation sending acoustic or electromagnetic waves to the diamond. Diamond
