New nanocoating destroys bacteria very fast.

"The coating only needed one hour to kill 99.7% of a common pathogen called Staphylococcus aureus." (ScitechDaily.com/99.7% in Only One Hour – New Nanocoating Kills More Bacteria Faster)

The problem with bacteria is that they are turning resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria cause epidemics in hospitals. So researchers must create other methods to use against those things.

When bacteria are covered by using a nano-size "rivet jacket", it turns to terminate other bacteria. The effect of this "rivet jacket" is simply to make holes in other bacteria membranes.

The term "nanocoating" means that the bacteria or part of it is covered by using a "plastic bag" or nanotechnical spikes. This thing denies the bacteria's ability to get nutrients.

That new nanocoating destroys 99% of bacteria in less than an hour. The problem with nano-coating has been that there are lots of bacteria that the layer must cover. So the nanospikes are more effective tools for that thing.

But there is another way to think. The medicine can cover bacteria by using nanospikes. In that version, the nano spikes will not kill the bacteria that carry them. When another bacteria comes near that bacteria which is covered by using that rivet jacket will destroy other bacteria. The idea is that those spikes that bacteria carry destroy other bacteria by making holes in its membrane.

There are also plans to use things like genetically engineered bacteria to destroy other bacteria. The idea is that when bacteria are changing genomes the genetically engineered bacteria will split the genome that causes programmed cell death to targeted bacteria.

And in some other versions, the bacteria can have the genome that makes cancer cells able to steal mitochondria from immune cells. In that model, the bacteria will steal mitochondria from another bacteria that comes to change genomes with that. This kind of thing can use to fight against bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.

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,
