The new light-driven polymers are impressive.

To make the system act as the user wants, the user must control the system. The ability to control a system requires the ability to see things that happen inside the system.

Japanese researchers catch azo-polymer film's interaction with light using a high-speed atomic force microscope and laser-irritation system to observe that thing. The light-driven polymers in some films might not seem very impressive. But those films or their polymers can be used as "glue" for other structures. In self-assembling structures, polymers are as glue on the edge of parts.

Then light will activate the contact layers between those polymers. The light-activating polymers can make it possible to create long polymers. The polymerase chain reaction will make it possible to create nano-scale structures. And light can be a good tool to adjust the speed of that reaction.

If there is some kind of nano-electric system those systems can be the tool for nanotechnical self-assembly structures. Electric fields on the film make it possible to move nanomachines on it.

By adjusting the light's brightness the system can adjust the electric level in that system. The simplest way to transform light into electricity is to cover the film using silicone. That silicone makes the light-electric phenomenon on the film. And that thing makes it possible to adjust the electric production of the film. That kind of photo-electric can deliver electricity to nano-size microprocessors.

In those nano-electric systems a small size benzene, with small magnetic iron bites can form the miniature generator's frame. And there is an axle that spins in that frame. That system can act as a miniature generator for nanotechnical solutions. Maybe one of them is not very impressive, but a large number of nanogenerators can create a strong electric force.

Long polymer-metal chains that are in long polymer-metal tubes, there is a magnetic field. That can create very thin but long generators. Engineers can install those generators in structures. Rising air or pressure impulses created using acoustic systems can rotate nano- or miniature generators.

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....
