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...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...
