How to create artificial muscles, and how they might improve radical airplane designs?

Making artificial muscles helps to make nano drones and another kind of things, what needs extreme flexible material. The first one is the biotechnical method, where the normal muscle cells would be grown on the nutrient base. After the necessary number of cells have been grown, and then their nucleus and other things, what is inside those cells can be filled with silicon other other inorganic material, and then both sides of the muscle cells would be connected the electric wire. After this those cells would be covered by the plastic layer, that is emptied of air.


The thing what makes the muscle cell to pull and push are the myofibrils, what are in the outer layer of the cell. This technology is based on the same experiment, what is made by Galvani in 18th. century. He connected one of his batteries to the cut frog feet, and he noticed, that the electricity makes those feet to move. Also, neurons could be pulled empty, and then fill them with inorganic material The reason for this action, that this denies that this artificial muscle would stand longer. The problem with the biologically produced artificial cells is that they would be rotten.

The polymeric layer would protect those things against strikes and it makes easy to install the electric components to that structure. If the user wants, there might be used also natural neurons, but they must be filled something, what denies the rotten. The neurons can be replaced by nanotechnical electric wires, what are actually very thin gold- or copper wire, what is installed on both sides of the cell.


Another way is to make small bags, what is filled with electrolytic liquid, as I have written before. Both sides of this bag would be installed the electric wires, what makes it work like the normal muscular cell. The use of this kind of muscle cells can be found in new kind of robots, what can look like birds or bugs. Artificial birds need the wing what can pull up in the form of the wave. That would lower the need for fuel.


Artificial muscle can be used to make airplanes, what wings can change the form. It allows to make the wings, what can change their form, like inflect the edge of the wing. And it allows the sharp control to flaps. But when we are thinking about to use this kind of muscle in robotics, that would be possible to make the small size drone, what would move like the bird, by flapping the wings. And it would be cheaper to produce than the carbon fibers, what allows this kind of movement. And those artificial muscles might be mass produced some day. They would make the artificial animals feel more realistic and that would interest animal investigators and intelligence services.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
