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.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments. Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape. We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures. The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time? Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger. The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers. "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions. And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object. Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
