The new devices are traveling in deep oceans.




The problem with small robots that patrol the ocean and measure pollution and other things is their power source. Nuclear power or RTG (plutonium batteries)  is a powerful tool. But those things are dangerous in the wrong hands. Things like nuclear submarines could load electricity to the photovoltaic cells of those machines by using lasers. But the problem is that navy might want to use their nuclear-powered submarines for many other purposes. 

The new algae-powered soft devices can be fundamental in the research of independently operating nano- and miniature machines. One of the biggest problems with independently operating nanomachines is the power source. The system can use synthetic, lab-grown muscle cells. 

They are connected to tiny electric wires. And nanotechnical microchips are not using very much energy. The problem is how to make those tiny machines operate in deep dark places. 

And one of the solutions is to use bioluminescence. In that case, the miniaturized microchips get their energy from the small photovoltaic cells. They are getting light from living bioluminescence cells. And also if lab-grown neurons are connecting with the microchips. They are increasing the power of those systems. The nanotechnical microchips don't need very much energy. And the thing that requires electricity in those half-biological robots is the control system. The living cells need only nutrients. 

Also, things like piezo-electric and thermo-electric crystals can give electricity to small machines. In those cases the main system gets its electricity from crystals that are stressed by using sonar signals or the heat from muscle cells can use for that thing. Living tissue can use normal nutrients. 


By the way...


Bigger robots like small ball-shaped quadcopters can also patrol the ocean and use green energy. In that kind of system, the robot can use solar power. When the batteries of those systems end while the robot operates in the sea it can simply rise to the surface. And the robot can wait until the sun loads its batteries. 

Then the system can send a GPS signal to a satellite that tells the communication system and command center that their robot is ready for action. The system can store data in the flash memory and send it to the command center. But there is a possibility that the system just uses a vertical tube into the ocean. And then the capillary effect puts the small generator to rotate.

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...
