The first time researchers created RNA molecules that replicate.



Self-replication of the RNA molecules is making it possible to create artificial organisms. Artificial organisms can use for many purposes. The genetically engineered bacteria can clean the human body from viruses. The idea is that artificial bacteria just eat viruses. And then they will close their ion pumps and die. And travel out of the body. The bacteria would just form the bag where the viruses are captured and then it stops its metabolism. 

Because bacteria are dying it cannot create more viruses. The artificial bacteria can also transform to stem cells by using genome transfer. Also, the bacteria can modify to make artificial retroviruses that can make genome transplant for people who have some kind of genetic disorder. 

But the artificial DNA and RNA molecules can also use for making the new type of nanomachines and artificial molecules. Genetic engineering can make it possible to increase the number of mitochondria in cells. And that thing makes them stronger. 




But artificial lifeforms can be much more complicated than we even think they could. 


There are three ways to benefit genetic engineering and biotechnology for robotics and computing. The size of the biorobot is not limited. And the ways how the robot can use biotechnology are listed here. 

1) Robots can use cloned neurons for making electricity for them. In that case, the electric cells that are making electricity for the animals like electric Eels can use to make electricity for robots. 

In some scenarios, the cells of fungus or vegetables are hybridized with those electric cells. And they can use it to make the electricity for the robots. 

2) The core of the robots can create by using diatomic cells. That thing is making it possible to make the core. That can fix its damages automatically. The bioships might not work in space but things like submarines can use those things. 

3) The robots can use the cloned neural tissue for making decisions. That means those systems have artificial brains that are working like normal brains. The brains that are made by using cloned neurons can use as biocomputers. 


Biological batteries are one of the most interesting targets for use of biotechnology.


The biological battery is the tank where is the cells are producing electricity. Those tanks can connect to series or parallel coupling. And that means the only thing that separates them from chemical batteries is that the electricity is produced in living cells. The electric eel can deliver electricity from 650 to 860 volts. And that kind of electricity can use to move large-size systems. Those cells that deliver that electricity can also be cloned or culture in cell cultures. 

When we think of things like robots that are using biological power sources the size of those robots might be very big. The thing is that the number of those cells determines the voltage that they can deliver.  The electric cells can use to deliver electricity to the mobile telephone as well as the ion engines of the spacecraft. In the last case. Electricity will first load to the battery. Which makes it possible to create high-voltage electricity. 

The thing is that the capacity of those electric cells is the only thing that limits their use. The large-size tanks with electric cells can load electricity to capacitors. And that can increase the voltage of those systems. And maybe someday in the future things like laptop computers can use biological electric cells in their batteries. The cells are needed only nutrients for making electricity.

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,
