This is one of the things, which makes the plants more interesting than people ever imagined. 


The way how dodder plant (Cascuta)(1) is acting has caused an idea that something is calling that parasitic plant to the plant. And if that thing what is calling that parasite to the plants can be created synthetically that thing can call the parasite plant away from plantages. Researchers have found that the mechanism, that calls the parasitic plants to plantages might be the sound that comes from cultivated plants. 

In the future, the sound that emulates the water flow in the veins of cultivated plants could call the weeds away from the plantages. (2)The researchers have found that some of the parasitic plants are eavesdropping the cultivated plants. And the sound of flowing water is calling the weeds to the plantages. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the sound of growing rods and dividing cells is the thing, that would call the parasitic plants to the area. 

When the cells are spitting that thing keeps the sound. And the sequence of that sound is telling, how good nutrient the plant gets. If the sound of splitting cells is repeating often, the plant would get good nutrients and that means that the parasitic plants can start to grow to the cultivated plants. 

The ability to hear and react with things like water flow in the cultivated plants would make the ultimate ability to weed. But the thing is that if the parasitic weeds are hearing the water flow in the cultivated plant, and then start to grow to it, that thing makes it possible to make the weeds to grow in another direction. If that thing is successful, chemicals what is used in plantations can be replaced by using the sound that emulates the water flow in the veins of the cultivated plants. 

But there is a possibility to use the new type of chemicals and sound for protecting the plantations. In the biological blocking of the weeds and pests, the synthetic pheromones and sound can be used to call things like ladybugs to the plantations for removing the pests. And that thing can make it possible to deny the pests to infect the plantages.

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...
