The story of abilities of aerogel and nanomachines.

The story of abilities of aerogel and nanomachines. 

The lightest solid material on Earth is aerogel, which was invented in 1931. The material is very well known, and there is one question, and that is why Lawrence Livermore laboratories stamped this "solid smoke" top secret? There is one thing, what might answer that question. The thing is that aerogel is fibered silicon dioxide, and the version, what Lawrence Livermore laboratories created might base the carbon fiber.

Even if the aerogel is damaged, when it would be contacted with water, there are many usages for that kind of material. And the varnish or some polymer would keep the aerogel dry if that layer will repel water. And another version of that could be that the outer layer would use the nanotechnology, what is emulating the hair of otter, and that thing denies the water touch with aerogel.

The carbon-fiber structure would, in theory, give the carbon-based aerogel the quality, that the fibers operate like nanomachines. In this theoretical material, the carbon fibers could be like springs, what would remember their trajectory, if they will cut, and then those fibers can return to form. And this makes possible to create the layer, what fixes itself.

So the aerogel is a bright, light and flexible material, which is quite hard. There is one thing, what might make it interesting. That is the ability to use aerogel as the structure of aircraft and space vehicles.

The lightweight structure would make possible to send the heavier cargo to space. And if the aerogel can store information in the chemical computer program would that make a revolution in the material research and developing new kind of machines, what can change their form. 

The thing is that the DNA molecule would act as a chemical computer program. And if there would be multiple DNA molecules like tracks, the central computer of the craft can choose, what line would the enzyme choose, and that thing allows to choose the form of the craft. That thing would make possible to create a craft, which is like a living organism.

Or in some wildest theories, those carbon fibers could involve artificial DNA, which allows the craft to survive many situations. This kind of things are of course fully hypothetical versions of aerogel, and maybe they can be created sometimes in tomorrow. But if the layer of the spacecraft would be made by using artificial DNA, the craft can create a copy of itself.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
