Electronic skin can revolutionize robotics and protective suits. 


Electronic skin that can feel pain like normal human skin can be the big step for prosthetic research, but it can also improve the capacities of the spacesuits and robots. It can be used to cover the layers of things like cars, that thing would make the self-driving car safer. If the car is touching something it can simply stop or take back, and that thing can avoid injuries in painting. 

If the gloves of the spacesuit or some other protective suit are covered with this kind of sensory skin, it would make it possible to handle things like tools more effectively and sharper than without feeling. The electronic skin can also be used in robots to transmit the touch to the controllers, who can see the touch from the screen. 

Or the system can transmit that feel to the brain core, what would make it possible that the surgeon can make the surgical operations by using remote control robots over the internet. The thing is that the sensitivity of the feel can be adjusted very easily, and if the electronic skin is used in robots, what is operating in the areas, where is very high temperature. 

 The operators can remove the sense of heat in those cases where that robot is operating in the fire. Or the level of sensitivity can be adjusted like the sound of the stereos. If the automobiles would have the sense of touch, that thing can warn if the car is touching something, as I wrote earlier. 

Also, the spacecraft and airplanes can be covered by using the new artificial skin, which detects the hits to the outer layer of that kind of system. The robot that uses the artificial sense of touch would operate even at the asteroid belt, and collect samples or some other things by using a very sharp touch.

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...

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...
