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.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing.  Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca...

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel.  Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20.  Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6.   Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require elec...

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...
