The new technology allows researchers to see how memory and cognition happen in real-time.

To observe dynamically changing synapses, dimerization-dependent fluorescent protein (ddFP) was expressed to observe flourescent signals upon synapse formation as ddFP enables fluorescence detection through reversible binding to pre- and postsynaptic terminals.

Dimerization-dependent fluorescent proteins (ddFP) protein make the real-life brain hack possible.

The protein called dimerization-dependent fluorescent proteins or ddFP are things that can unveil the synapse actions in real-time. That protein tells how the brain, memory, and cognition act in real time. This kind of thing can connect with AI-controlled systems, and the next-generation mind-reading instrument is ready. The system can cooperate with generative AI.

And that thing makes the system see how cognition and memory work. This kind of information is important when we think about the possibility of creating BCI-controlled applications. Those applications can make it possible to transfer memories between people. In some visions, those systems can also transfer people's memories on the computer screens. But this kind of brain-reading tool can also bring animals' memories to the laptop screen.

The ability to see how memory and cognition work in brains helps the researchers to create cloned neurons, that can have their memories. The memories contain the skills that humans have. Researchers can make the cloned neurons that they can use to fix neural damage. But the problem is this. When a neuron is destroyed all skills and other memories. Stored in it are gone. This means something must put memories into the neuron transplant.

The ability to transfer cloned neurons to fix damaged neural structures is a good idea. However, the neural transplant must involve the same skills and memories stored in destroyed neurons. The ddFP protein is too good candidate for things that the system uses to control that process.

The real fundamental thing is that those sensors can see what animals think. That thing can open new ways to communicate between species.

The new brain scanners open the gate to see, what kinds of dreams animals see, while they dream. The information about the animal's dreams helps us to understand why we sleep lots of time while we are alive. But the knowledge about the animal's thoughts helps us create better conditions for animals, and protect wildlife.

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,
