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.

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,
