Magnetotactic bacteria and nanotechnology.

 



Magnetotactic bacteria and nanotechnology. 


What would we do with bacteria, what we could control like a robot?

When we are seeing the article below this text (1), we are seeing how simple the magnetotactic bacteria guidance system is. The term magnetotactic bacteria means bacteria, which is always in direction with Earth's magnetic field. This thing means that this kind of bacteria is a really interesting target to use as a miniaturized robot. 

Moving the groups of those bacteria to a certain direction is very easy and that thing would be happening by using the magnetic fields. That would be a suitable method to control large groups of bacteria.

But what if we would want to move single bacteria in a certain direction. One version is to pull the magnetic crystals away from bacteria and replace those things by using the fullerene stick, which is installed with small size servo-motor, and then that thing would push the protein structure to a certain position. The guidance system of those bacteria is basing the magnetic crystals, which affects the protein Mam Y. Or the magnetic crystals can be pulled together by using the magnet, and then the structure would be turned to wanted direction. 

Connecting bacteria and the camera-equipped miniature submarine would be a fantastic idea. 

That would be quite easy to create, and if we would want to make the bacteria move in a certain direction, we must just the small motor and the stick, which can move those magnetic crystals in a certain direction. If that stick would be connected to the control circuit. Another way to make this thing is just creating the nano-submarine, which would have enough powerful magnet to adjust those magnetic crystals to a certain position. 

The small size nano-submarine that is equipped with magnet can swim ahead this kind of bacteria, and that bacteria will swim after the submarine, and this kind of system would allow the bacteria to make things, what we ever can expect. The nano-submarine would communicate with the control unit by using the wireless communication system. 

There could be many solutions to this kind of systems in the future

And the engines of robots would get their electricity by the same system. The operators can see the things by the camera, which is connected to the submarine. This kind of thing would make possible to create small-sized biological robot, which can be used in many missions. In theory, this kind of manipulated bacteria can be used to clean tubes and even blood veins and remove things like plaque from the head of the Alzheimer patients.

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...
