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.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...

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...
