Japanese art gives inspiration for next-generation fusion systems.

"Inspired by Kintsugi, scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have developed a method to manage plasma in fusion reactors by utilizing magnetic field imperfections, enhancing stability and paving the way for more reliable and efficient fusion power. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily.com,Ancient Japanese Art Inspires Next-Gen Fusion Reactor Breakthrough) During fusion tests, high-energy plasma travels in the particle accelerator. The problem with fusion is that this plasma is monotonic. There is only one type of ion. The system must press those ionized atoms against each other where their cores melt to new elements.  During that process deuterium and tritium turn into helium. In some models, tritium is replaced by helium 3.  The big problem is this: when a fusion reaction ignites. That energy impulse pushes plasma away. That impulse breaks entirety. So there should be some pockets, where the energy impulse can go. Or it breaks the ion ring.  The distanc

The mutation that helps animals in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster area resist cancer can help to win against cancer.

Image: (Iflscience, Chernobyl's Mutant Wolves Have Evolved Anti-Cancer Abilities) The animals at the Ukraine, Chernobyl nuclear disaster site seem to create resistance against cancer that radioactive fallout causes. And how wolves and other animals created resistance against cancer and radioactive radiation is simple. Radioactive fallout and radioactive exposure destroy a population that cannot resist radioactive radiation. That thing caused an effect where the genome enrichment started.  The ability to resist radioactive radiation is interesting. The ability to create artificial genomes makes it possible for nanotechnology can connect those DNA sequences. That gives those animals resistance against cancer to human genomes. Nanotechnology makes it possible to connect genomes between species. The next-generation gene therapy is one of the most interesting things.  The ability to transfer DNA between species makes it possible to create pigs. That can form human organs. It also can ma

From theory to reality, graviton-like particles are isolated in laboratories.

"Light probing a chiral graviton mode in a fractional quantum Hall effect liquid. Credit: Lingjie Du, Nanjing University" (ScitechDaily, From Theory to Reality: Graviton-like Particles Found in Quantum Experiments) Researchers may find graviton in quantum experiments. ScitechDaily reports about this thing like this: "A team of scientists from Columbia, Nanjing University, Princeton, and the University of Munster, writing in the journal Nature, have presented the first experimental evidence of collective excitations with spin called chiral graviton modes (CGMs) in a semiconducting material". (ScitechDaily, From Theory to Reality: Graviton-like Particles Found in Quantum Experiments)  There are four fundamental forces or interactions.  1) Strong nuclear force. (Strong Interaction) 2) Weak nuclear force (Weak Interaction) 3) Electromagnetism. (Electromagnetic interaction) 4) Gravity (or gravitation) (Gravitational interaction) Their transportation particles are bosons.

The new quantum materials are coming.

"Researchers have devised a quantum mechanics-based approach that significantly improves the prediction and enhancement of metal ductility, leading to the development of metals that are so durable they could be considered “unbreakable” for their given application. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Quantum Breakthrough Paves Way for “Unbreakable” Metals) When we think about things like neutron stars one of the reasons why it is so hard to break is this: Neutron star is a homogenous object. On its shell are only neutrons. The neutrons are spinning in one direction. The spin of the entirety is so fast that the impact energy is distributed evenly on that structure. Another thing is that individual neutrons also spin vertically relative to the equator. And that drives energy out from that structure.   And that drives energy out from the neutron star. Normally. Neutrons can exist at 877.75 seconds if it's outside the atom nucleus. But in neutron stars. Those neutrons are

Dark matter is not necessarily a particle. It can be a quasiparticle or a soliton in the gravity field.

"Dark matter influences cosmic behavior through gravitational interactions, leading to phenomena like “dark stars,” which may explode similarly to supernovae. The exploration of potential dark matter particles, such as WIMPs and axions, is critical to understanding these celestial events. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Exploding “Dark Stars” – Unveiling the Explosive Secrets of Dark Matter) In the WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particle) model, the WIMP is the dark matter particle. The mystery is how those particles can be invisible. And then another mystery is: are all those particles similar, or are they some kind of quasiparticles?  One thing that can help us to understand the dark matter's role is the energy flow. Energy flows always to a lower energy area. Galaxies are at higher energy levels than their environment. We can think that every single galaxy is on the table. And energy flows away from them. That makes it hard to see material that is between ga

Does the AI make lazy humans?

The lazy person seems more effective than the person who is not lazy. A lazy person makes only necessary things. And that thing limits the errors. But the same thing denies the person advance their skills. The need for effective work without errors limits a person's ability to grow their skills in working life.  AI is same time a very impressive, revolutionary, and dangerous tool. The AI is like the Schrödinger's cat. It might not be dangerous itself, but using it wrong people can create dangerous things. And one of the most dangerous things. What people can create is to leave all work to AI. If people just trust AI and they will not want to check things that the AI does, sooner or later the result is catastrophic. When we think of AI simply as an advanced technical tool, we face another thing. We can compare the AI with things like cars.  Cars are also a big technical advance. They are a cornerstone of our society. But cars can cause damage to health. And this time, I don'

The new microchips have revolutionary abilities.

"The sensor network is designed so the chips can be implanted into the body or integrated into wearable devices. Each submillimeter-sized silicon sensor mimics how neurons in the brain communicate through spikes of electrical activity. Credit: Nick Dentamaro/Brown University." (ScitechDaily, Revolutionizing Wireless Communication: How Tiny Chips Could Transform Medical Technology) If a microchip is in a bright place it can use solar power. That kind of system can used with artificial retinas. And in the light-operated pacemakers. In the last ones, the cathed can transport light sources like laser rays to a pacemaker. Then those systems can transmit energy into them. Same time those systems can read data from the pacemaker's log. The reading of the microchip data can also happen wirelessly through the skin.  Those new light-cells operated systems. Along with the microchips that can harvest energy from magnetic fields are the tools that make new medical microchips possible.

The U.S. Air Force tests supersonic drones. That can have a role with hypersonic weapons.

The new supersonic drones use a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) to reach high speed. The RDE drones can fly at very high speeds. Those drones can carry the AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW). The high-speed drones can act as launching platforms for the hypersonic weapons.  AGM-183 ARRW In that model, the AGM-183 ARRW can use the same model as the Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic weapon. In the case of the Kinzhal missile, the MiG-31 fighter accelerates to its maximum speed. Then it launches the hypersonic weapon.  The Hypersonic Test Vehicle (HTV-2) The fact is that the missile warhead can reach hypersonic speed when the missile returns to the atmosphere. The arrowhead-looking gliders that the missile carries into the atmosphere allow the missile to hit with different angles.  SR-72 The Air-launched ARRW missiles can also use a supersonic mach-3+ carrier that drops the weapon in its range. The carrier aircraft raises the missile's speed to a level that it can reac

The new type of AI: is personalized or customized AI.

The new tool for advanced computing could be customized AI. Those AIs are made to satisfy and answer their user's needs. Customized AI is quite easy to make if the system gets information about customer's needs. The system can create those customized AIs by asking, what purpose does the customer use the AI? Another way is to use the same method that targeted marketing uses. The system must collect data about commands that its user gives.  Then it makes the user profile. After that, it can search for things that other users with similar user profiles use. And that thing can be the thing, that is the next step for the AI. The AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is the tool, that can create its descendant. The descendant can be the customized AI. In that model, the AI downloads the right tools into its domain. Those things are programming editors, test environments, and other kinds of things if the customer operates in the ICT and program development.  The AI is a tool that make

Consolidated accounts can act as the AGI model.

In the newest models, the AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is the center of the AI. Even in the most futuristic models, it's the link between lower-level AI:s and the ASI (Artificial superintelligence) and singularity and transcendence AI systems that use AGI to create lower-level AI:s. In some versions, the self-awaring AI, and AGI are separated from each other. But in automatic systems, those self-aware systems and AGI are synbiotic entirety. The domains are pre-made building blocks that make it possible. That the AI can have unlimited expandability. It learns by connecting new databases or domains in it.  If we think that the consolidated account systems are the models for the AGI. The next step below the AGI to the executing level is reasoning machines. Those machines are the main domains that are made for certain situations. The reasoning machine is a domain that involves orders and authority to respond to actions like conflicts. The subdomains or domain-specific expertis

The ultra-fast lasers and nanotubes are new tools to control quantum systems.

Quantum dots and ultra-fast laser impulses are the tools for next-generation quantum computing. The ultra-fast attosecond lasers can act as ultra-accurate scanner systems. The fast laser flashes can scan structures. That is invisible to scanning tunneling microscopes. But the attosecond lasers can also drive information to the qubits.  In some ideas, the system that is similar to a scanning tunneling microscope forms a structure that looks like a scanning tunneling microscope. The styluses that hover electrons between the layer and stylus are in comb-like structures. The attosecond lasers will transport information into those electrons, that act as transporter dipoles for the information. When laser ray hits electrons. They resend that radiation in the form of photons.  If the system uses excitons for data transmission the series of fullerene molecules can used to protect the exciton chain. Information travels between those quantum lanterns. Those quantum lantern chains can be in lines

AI uncovers interactions between particles and gravity fields.

  "AI is emerging as a key tool in nuclear physics, offering solutions for the data-intensive and complex task of particle track reconstruction. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling New Physics With AI-Powered Particle Tracking) The AI gives a new way to track particles. The AI-based analysis makes it possible for the system. It can collect information from multiple sensors. And compile that data with previous tests with ultra-high accuracy and speed. The AI can analyze the particle tracks in the impact chambers.  It can observe particle behavior in particle accelerators. The AI can also collect data from things like telescopes and satellites and connect that data with data that the system collects from multiple particle accelerators that impact particles in different energy levels.  This thing makes the revolution in physics. The system can compile the cosmic radiation effect with particle impacts. And that gives new data for the systematic models of the univer

Altermagnetism, new 2D materials, and quantum materials are the next big step in microelectronics.

"Researchers have pioneered a photon-based qubit communication model, facilitating precise control in quantum computing information transfer. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Photons That Make Quantum Bits “Fly”) The problem with long-distance quantum transmission is how to protect information on traveling qubits. The system can pack those qubits into the electrons. The idea is that the quantum system slips photons into the electrons.  This thing makes it possible to protect the information. In some other models system packs qubits in the plasma where that plasma field protects information in the qubit. "This illustration shows electric current being pumped into platinum (the bottom slab), which results in the creation of an electron spin current that switches the magnetic state of the 2D ferromagnet on top.

The new AI tools are making better drugs and predicting diseases.

"An AI model developed by the Beckman Institute enables precise medical diagnoses with visual maps for explanation, enhancing doctor-patient communication and facilitating early disease detection." (ScitechDaily, X Marks the Spot: AI’s Treasure Maps Lead to Early Disease Detection) The GlycoSHIELD AI-based software will revolutionize drug development. The software can simulate the morphology of sugar coats in proteins. That makes it easier to simulate how proteins. And cell's ion pumps interact. Another tool that makes AI more powerful in drug development is new observation tools like nano-acoustic systems. Those systems with very accurate X-rays and other systems can search how neurotransmitters act between neurons.  The ability to control pain requires the ability to deny the neuro-transmitters travel between neurons. The systems of tomorrow may use some other method than chemical opioids to deny neurotransmitters reach the receiving cell. Those methods can be acoustic
