How do the DNA-based sensors work?



The DNA-based sensors use the DNA molecule as the sensor. The idea is that the DNA molecule or its head can hover around the layer and act like the stylus of an old-time LP player. In some versions of DNA sensors, there could be an iron bite at the end of the molecule. There is a possibility to use that iron bite to measure the magnetic field. There is the possibility that the radio waves are pointed to a certain target through that iron stylus. 

The radio (maser) wave will shoot to the iron that drives those radio waves to a certain target. The system can observe the reflection. But if the iron bite slides above the magnetized or electrically stressed layer the system can measure the electricity in that stylus. Or the system can measure the position of the DNA relative to the level. That allows operators to see the differences in the shape of the layer. 

When the layer goes farther the magnetic effect on DNA is turning weaker. And that affects the position of the DNA. The idea is similar to the magnet that is connected to the libra. When the magnetic layer is below it the distance to the magnetic layer affects the pulling force of the magnet. 

There is a possibility to observe the differences in the length and position of the DNA molecules by using the laser microscope that can measure the changes in the forms of that molecule. In some other versions of DNA-based sensors, The DNA will position around the measurable object. The DNA tweezers are based on the idea that the electricity will pull the last base pairs of the DNA around the object. In that kind of nanotechnical system, electricity will conduct to the object that must transport. 

In the measuring system the DNA position over the measurable object. Then the DNA molecule would rotate around. And the laser microscope measures the changes in the position of the last base pairs of the molecule. In the last version the ion will be shot through the DNA molecule vertically and the effects of that thing can notice by searching the effect of that thing on the DNA. 

The idea is similar to fullerene nanotube-based sensors. In those sensors, the laser light will shoot sideways through the nanotube. When the particle moves through that tube. The sensor detects its shape by using laser light. And that kind of system can find many new things from the world of subatomic and atomic worlds.

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,
