The plastic waste can turn into diamonds.

"In the experiment, a thin sheet of simple PET plastic was shot with a laser. The strong laser flashes that hit the foil-like material sample briefly heated it to 6000 degrees Celsius and thus generated a shock wave that compressed the matter to millions of times the atmospheric pressure for a few nanoseconds. The scientists were able to determine that tiny diamonds, so-called nanodiamonds, formed under extreme pressure.

Plastic is a hydrocarbon material. That means its main carbon and some other elements. In plastic, the structure where other atoms are connected is the carbon chains. Diamonds are pure carbon. Or actually, they are crystallized forms of carbon. And that means everything where carbon atoms can turn to diamonds. In the old method, the system uses a chemical reaction chamber.

The process that turns plastic waste into diamonds is simple. Researchers can separate carbon from other atoms in the reaction chamber. And then they can make that hot carbon react in the pressure chamber. That system requires a special chemical environment.

In the new method, the laser system shoots laser rays to plastic. That laser turns the plastic to a temperature of 6000 Celcius. And the shockwave turns that material into diamonds. This system emulates the conditions that are making diamonds in a gas giant's atmosphere.

The ability to turn things like greenhouse gases into diamonds can use to store carbon. The greenhouse gasses can turn into diamonds by separating carbon from those molecules. Then those molecules will be put under high pressure and the shockwave will be driven through the vaporized carbon cloud. That shockwave can create by using laser rays. But also magnetic field can use in that pressurizing process.

There is the possibility to turn carbon dioxide into diamonds. The ionized carbon with the values C3+ or C4- can be used in that process. The system can use a magnetic press that is made for the fusion tests. And then the system can simply press carbon atoms in one entirety. Magnetic systems can be much more powerful than pressure systems.

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,
