Writings about astronomy and technology.

"A simplified synthetic equivalent of a cell would be like a blueprint for life. Credit: EVOLF project" (ScitechDaily, Can Life Be Engineered? Biochemists Take Key Steps Toward Synthetic Lifeforms) Biochemists take their first steps into artificial life forms. The ability to manipulate and connect DNA bites together makes it possible to create artificial species. The nanotechnology plays a key role in that process. Things like genetically engineered bacteria can transport those DNA bites into targeted cells.  The DNA is the genetic code that controls all actions in the cell. The DNA code can order a cell to die. Nanotechnology makes it possible to clean DNA from genetic errors. That gives the possibility to remove hereditary diseases from society and that thing can decrease things like crime ratio. If researchers can remove the genome that causes things like sociopathy it makes society safer.  If researchers want to remove genetic diseases from fetuses. They must only take th

"This artist’s illustration shows a rapidly feeding black hole that is emitting powerful gas outflows. Using data from NASA’s JWST and Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of U.S. National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomers have discovered this low-mass black hole at the center of a galaxy just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. It is accreting matter at a phenomenal rate — over 40 times the theoretical limit. While short lived, this black hole’s ‘feast’ could help astronomers explain how supermassive black holes grew so quickly in the early Universe. Credit: NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/J. da Silva/M. Zamani" (ScitechDaily, Defying Physics: Supermassive Black Hole Devours 40x Faster Than Expected) "Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered LID-568, a supermassive black hole feeding at a rate 40 times its Eddington limit (Eddington luminosity), seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. This exceptional observation has provided new insights into black hole

"In this animation, the CODEX instrument can be seen mounted on the exterior of the International Space Station. Credit: CODEX Team/NASA" (ScitechDaily, NASA’s CODEX Ready To Unlock Solar Wind Mysteries From the ISS) NASA will send a CODEX instrument to the ISS to observe solar wind.  "NASA’s Coronal Diagnostic Experiment (CODEX) is set to launch to the International Space Station to explore new details about the solar wind, including its origins and evolution."  (ScitechDaily, NASA’s CODEX Ready To Unlock Solar Wind Mysteries From the ISS) The solar wind is well-known as an entirety. The solar wind is the particle flow that the source is in the sun. The mystery thing is how deep the solar wind forms. And the second question is how much the sun's magnetic field will accelerate those particles. And what role things like photons and impacting opposite and same polar particles play in that flow.  So how much photons accelerate those ions and electrons? That informa

"McMaster University researchers found that bacteriophages treated under specific conditions form flower-like structures that are highly efficient in targeting bacteria, opening new possibilities for the treatment and detection of diseases." (ScitechDaily, Nature-Inspired Viruses Form Living “Sunflowers” To Combat Disease) Complicated DNA-controlled structures can revolutionize medicine development. But it can make also many more things.  Bacteriophages can make forms that look like sunflowers. Their ability to combine their bodies makes phages more effective against targeted bacteria. Sunflower-form virus structures can be a tool for researchers to use against infections. However, those virus structures are also interesting tools for people who create nanomachines and nanostructures.  As you see, viruses can make complicated structures. And that makes it possible to use them to create structures for nanomechanics. The DNA-controlled crystal formation is the tool that develop

Above: Image By Gemini.  When we talk about the collapse of language models. We talk about the phenomenon where artificial intelligence starts to recycle data through it. In many models, the AI that uses certain data sources starts to raise their page rank in the web index. That means that it's possible. That data starts to travel in the ring of the most used LLMs This thing causes an effect called data degeneration. The data degeneration means that as DNA will not be completely copied in living organisms in networks data will not stay perfectly in its shape.  There are always some kind of errors. And some turbulence in the networks. The network sometimes lost a byte or two. That thing causes the loss of information that travels in the networks. At the beginning of that process, outsiders do not recognize anything. But when there are enough lost bytes or bits that thing causes the effect, that there are lots of missing parts in data. So that means that data is degenerating in the n

The AI participates in new microchip development. New large language models, LLM, require a new microchip architecture that can drive and handle bigger data masses. When the AI drives a large data mass, the AI compiles the input data with databases. There are descriptions of how the AI should react to some situations. If details or parameters match with some database, that database begins a reaction.  The problem is that things like machine view require that the system analyze lots of data in a short moment. If the system has a neural network in use, it can share data with lots of computers. Image 2 is the neural network model and every single point between lines can be the independently operating microchip. The problem with a 2D neural network is that the data begins to travel from machine view through the system. In this linear model, the system shares data with processors one after one.  That a kind of linear model. Where data travels in a system like a wave. That system is quite sl
