The new explosives without nitrogen are remarkable chemical advancements.

"Skoltech researchers have identified over 220 carbon-oxygen compounds, many previously unknown, with some showing explosive energy close to that of TNT, despite lacking nitrogen. Their findings on oxocarbons open up new possibilities for space exploration, advanced batteries, and energetic materials, challenging conventional chemistry and expanding the understanding of molecular diversity. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rivaling TNT: Scientists Discover Bizarre “Magic Molecules” With Explosive Potential)

The idea of the new explosives is that there are lots of carbon atoms that will combine with oxygen atoms. That releases 75% more energy than TNT. The RDX gives 50% more energy than TNT. The research published by Russian researchers and ScitechDaily, and the risk that this technology causes is that those new carbon-oxygen chains will pass the explosive detector. Those molecules are like "frozen, nano-size powder explosions". 

In normal, explosives, like TNT,  nitrogen acts as a catalysator. The nitrogen ion in potassium nitrate makes black powder explode. All known explosives involve nitrogen. And the bomb detectors smell nitrogen ions from the air. But when we think about explosions. We must realize that. Explosion is only fast-burning. Another way to make an explosion is to increase the layer's size, where the material combines with oxygen. In aerosol bombs and combustion engines, the fuel-aerosol and oxygen combine.

Credit: Elizaveta Vaneeva et al./Materials Today Energy" (ScitechDaily, Rivaling TNT: Scientists Discover Bizarre “Magic Molecules” With Explosive Potential)

The molecular structures of those new potential explosive molecules tell us that it's possible to create explosive graphene. There between those carbon atoms are oxygen atoms. So if every second of those atoms is carbon and every second is oxygen. That means that the maximum number of carbon atoms join to oxygen at the same time. It is also possible to make the explosive "hamburger" two graphene layers there is a 2D oxygen layer between those carbon layers. 

The reason why that burning turns into an explosion is that all droplets are surrounded by the air. Same way sometimes things like regular baking flour detonate. The baking flour dust takes fire. And then the air. That surrounds every single particle in that dust will start to burn them. The fast combination with air makes that normally harmless dust the explosive material. 

The long carbon chain where oxygen and carbon atoms in rows like oxygen and carbon are one after one can make a very strong explosion. The idea is that the carbon and oxygen alternating in the chain. The explosion happens when large numbers of carbon atoms make a connection with oxygen atoms. 

So what if we can make molecules like fullerene where there are oxygen atoms between carbon atoms? In that ball-shaped carbon-oxygen "fullerene" is carbon. And oxygen atoms side by side. When carbon and oxygen combine to make a chemical compound. 

They form carbon monoxide or dioxide. That reaction happens in a large area if we compare that reaction area to molecule size. So large numbers of carbon and oxygen combine with each other at the same time. That causes the same situation as in an aerosol bomb but in a solid structure.

Chinese researchers created a 2D metal structure.


"Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a breakthrough technique called vdW squeezing to create large, stable, atomically thin 2D metals at angstrom-scale thickness. This method enables precise control over metal layer thickness and opens up new possibilities for advanced quantum, electronic, and photonic devices." (ScitechDaily, Beyond Graphene: Scientists Create Ultra-Thin 2D Metals for the First Time)

Researchers have theorized about 2000 materials that can form 2D atomic lattices. Hundreds of those compounds and monoatomic materials are made in laboratories. The most well-known 2D material is graphene, carbon's allotropic form. The graphene's strength base is in its monoatomic form.

When something hits its carbon net that point delivers its energy to other carbon atoms. The monoatomic structure denies the form of energy pockets in the structure. And because energy travels in that lattice easily. That makes graphene very strong. Sometimes is planned to use nano-diamonds. 

Carbon atom structures that look like diamond or fullerene nanotubes transport energy out from graphene. The multilayer graphene where fullerene or some other nanostructures like DNA bites keep those layers separate. That makes it possible to create a nano-armor. That can be very strong. 

However, these 2D carbon structures have their limits have limits. The new step in the route of the 2D materials is the ability to form 2D metal lattices. The problem with those lattices is been that those lattices must win the van der Waals force that turns those lattices into curves. The ability to make a 2D metal structure is one of the things. That opens new visions for electric, ion, and other kinds of technologies. 

Self-sufficient 2D metal structures are interesting structures. It's possible to put that metal layer over graphene. Making new types of layered nanomaterials possible. 


There are multiple futuristic things where those kinds of systems can be used. 


Those materials have a magnetic ability. That makes it possible to use them in ion technology. The metal-graphene stylus can inject those ions precisely into the wanted points. That makes the advancement in ion-based 3D printing technology. And it's possible to make things like plasma stealth systems to reality. The plasma stealth can be connected with the aerodynamic structures of aircraft. 

The 2D material pumps the ions or anions around the aircraft from between those layers. The ion accelerators can be in that 2D layered material. This kind of material can make it possible to create radar systems that see all directions from the air- or spacecraft. This system makes it possible to create a protective system that can shoot incoming asteroids or meteoroids with anti-electron bursts. 

Theoretically, if that kind of material can be created on a large scale that makes it possible to create the "UFO"- saucer-shaped aerial vehicle that uses electron-positron annihilation. The system can use anti-electrons to give a punch propellant. The annihilation can expand things like hydrogen in the chamber in the middle of the craft. And then. Ventilation controls the point where that vapor travels out from the structure.

When material is hot and cold at the same time.

"Scientists discovered a strange new state of matter — “half ice, half fire” — where hot and cold electron spins coexist, potentially unlocking powerful tech for energy and quantum storage. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Half Ice, Half Fire: A Bizarre New State of Matter That Could Reshape Physics)

"In a groundbreaking study, scientists at Brookhaven National Lab uncovered a new phase of matter dubbed “half ice, half fire” — a bizarre mix of cold, orderly electron spins and hot, chaotic ones." (ScitechDaily, Half Ice, Half Fire: A Bizarre New State of Matter That Could Reshape Physics)

"The “half-ice, half-fire” phase is the twin state of the “half-fire, half-ice” phase discovered by Yin, Tsvelik, and Christopher Roth, their 2015 undergraduate summer intern who is now a postdoc at the Flatiron Institute. They describe the discovery in a paper published in early 2024." (ScitechDaily, Half Ice, Half Fire: A Bizarre New State of Matter That Could Reshape Physics)

"But the full story goes back to 2012, when Yin and Tsvelik were part of a multi-institutional collaboration, led by Brookhaven physicist John Hill, that was studying Sr3CuIrO6, a magnetic compound of strontium, copper, iridium, and oxygen. This research led to two papers, an experiment-driven study in 2012 and a theory-driven study in 2013, both published in PRL." (ScitechDaily, Half Ice, Half Fire: A Bizarre New State of Matter That Could Reshape Physics)

"Yin and Tsvelik continued to look into the phase behaviors of Sr3CuIrO6 and, in 2016, found the “half-fire, half-ice” phase. In this state, which is induced by a critical external magnetic field, the “hot” spins on the copper sites are fully disordered on the atomic lattice and have smaller magnetic moments, while the “cold” spins on the iridium sites are fully ordered and have larger magnetic moments. The work was published in Physical Review B." (ScitechDaily, Half Ice, Half Fire: A Bizarre New State of Matter That Could Reshape Physics)

The plot (right) shows the magnetic entropy change in the magnetic field (h) versus temperature (T) plane. The black dot at zero temperature indicates where the half-fire, half-ice state appears. The dashed line indicates where the half-ice, half-fire state hides.

The Schrödinger's cat state can mean that material is hot and cold at the same time. The universe is one of those interesting things hot and cold. At the same time. When the universe's expansion continues the chaos or entropy in the system grows. Electrons start to spin more chaotic if the quantum field pressure decreases. So when the universe expands. That gives electrons more space to travel and spin. 

That means: energy decrease causes an effect that looks like rising temperature. Decreasing energy pressure raises entropy in the system. When the size of the universe increases that causes an effect that looks like temperature rising. In the young universe energy and pressure caused an effect. That the system was in a very good order. But, decreasing density and pressure causes entropy in the system to rise.  So the universe behaves oppositely than it should. 

The decreasing energy level causes the effect. That the material behaves like it's hot. When pressure decreases that makes the system behave. Like it turns warmer. 

In the nanoscale, we can see that effect in the cases. Where the pressure decreases. If there is water in the chamber low pressure gives water molecules more space to move and oscillate That causes an effect that the boiling temperature decreases when pressure decreases. 

Schrödinger's cat in the material is something incredible. That means the small-scale Scrödinger's cat effect. 

Researchers created a material. That is cold and hot at the same time. That material is the same. 

Time well-ordered "cold" and chaotic "hot" spin states in the electron shell. 

That thing is one of the most interesting things in the world. 

The ability to turn electron shells more chaotic without transmitting energy into them is one of the most interesting things. In the history of research. 

When the material is hot and cold. At the same time. There is always space where material can transport energy. When we think about things like how temperature breaks the material the well-ordered structures are easy to break if there is no place where they can put energy. In chaotic systems is more space than in cold systems. 

That means energy has more space to go than in well-ordered systems and electrons are moving in larger areas. So they deliver energy more easily and standing waves between them don't break the system because electrons can jump away from that standing wave. 

That means the Schrödinger's cat state in the material can improve things like energy production and nano-and stealth technology. This new material is the thing that can make a revolution in nanotechnology.

Toxic dust covers the Planet Mars.


"Martian dust isn’t just a nuisance, it could cause serious health problems. Researchers found it’s filled with toxic compounds that could scar lungs and disrupt thyroid function, posing a real danger to future astronauts. Credit: SciTechDaily.com

"Mars might be a thrilling destination, but its dust could be deadly."

"A team of scientists warns that long-term exposure to Martian dust could harm future astronauts’ lungs, thyroids, and more. Packed with toxic compounds like silicates and perchlorates, the dust is small enough to bypass our body’s defenses and enter the bloodstream. Drawing on rover data and meteorite analysis, researchers say now is the time to develop filters, supplements, and preventive measures before humans ever set foot on the Red Planet." 

(ScitechDaily, Mars Is Covered in Toxic Dust – And It’s a Serious Threat to Human Exploration)

******************************************************

Mars is not like Earth at all. That planet has a different chemical environment than Earth. Mars is covered by toxic dust. That can make space trips to that planet more complicated than nobody thought. 

Mars's surface is covered by red sand. 

That sand can form a dust storm called "Sand devils". 

It's possible that dust storms can form static electricity. That electricity can cause problems with electronics. Static electricity is not the only thing that can cause problems on the red planet. There are also chemical dangers. And the space crew must clean all that dust from their suits. The dust itself can slip under the computer consoles. And that can cause a malfunction in the keyboards. 


"This graphic shows the long-chain organic molecules decane, undecane, and dodecane. These are the largest organic molecules discovered on Mars to date. They were detected in a drilled rock sample called “Cumberland” that was analyzed by the Sample Analysis at Mars lab inside the belly of NASA’s Curiosity rover. The rover, whose selfie is on the right side of the image, has been exploring Gale Crater since 2012.

******************************************************

"They include minerals rich in silicates and iron oxides, metals like beryllium and arsenic, and a particularly nasty class of compounds called perchlorates."

"In many cases, those ingredients are present in only trace amounts in Mars dust. But the first human explorers on Mars may spend around a year and a half on the surface, increasing their exposure, said study co-author Brian Hynek."

“You’re going to get dust on your spacesuits, and you’re going to have to deal with regular dust storms,” said Hynek, a geologist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder. “We really need to characterize this dust so that we know what the hazards are.” 

(ScitechDaily, Mars Is Covered in Toxic Dust – And It’s a Serious Threat to Human Exploration)

******************************************************

There are also long carbon molecules on the Red Planet's surface. Those carbon molecules are dangerous if they can go into living cells. Long carbon-chain molecules can open in the cell. And then they can cause damage to the cell's internal structures. That kind of damage can kill the entire cell. The thing is that. Mars is a very dry and cold place. 

There is no liquid water. And that makes chemical reactions different from what they are on Earth. Mars is a very stable place. On that can form molecules that do not exist on Earth. Those molecules can form in a very long time.

Schrödinger's cat is hotter than ever.


"Quantum scientists have shown it’s possible to generate Schrödinger cat states in warmer conditions, challenging the assumption that cold is essential for quantum effects. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Alive, Dead, and Hot: Schrödinger’s Cat Defies the Rules of Quantum Physics)

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment about a cat. That is at the same time. Alive and dead. That means. The cat has two states. Things like qubits base are in Scrödinger's cat. And theoretical Majorana-fermion would be the Schrödinger's cat particle. 

The Majorana-fermion would be the physical particle that has a particle and antiparticle in the same particle. The Majorana Bound-state (Majorana Zero Mode) is the quasiparticle and a hypothetical Majorana fermion would be like a quark or electron that involves its antiparticle. 

In quantum computing, dead cat means qubit that doesn't carry information and alive cat means qubit that carries information. Or the dead cat means zero and the living cat means one. But the Schrödinger's state has many other interesting meanings. 

In physics Schrödinger's cat means superposition or quantum system that is simultaneously in the low and high energy minimum. A system that involves minimum. And maximum energy states at the same time. Is always interesting. 

The minimum energy states in the same system mean that if there is an energy impulse that hits the particle there is an energy pocket where that energy can go. In the same way, if Schrödinger's cat is the real cat we cannot destroy that cat, because there is an energy pocket where energy can go. 

The new observations tell us that Schrödinger's cat state is possible even if the system is adjusted into a "hot state". The temperature record in Scrödinger's cat state is 1,8K which is very hot in this case, that temperature limit has been 0,3K. That means Schrödinger's cat state is possible even if the system involves energy excitement. Before that researchers thought that they must remove energy excitement from the system. 


"In Erwin Schrödinger’s thought experiment, it is a cat that is alive and dead at the same time. Credit: University of Innsbruck/Harald Ritsch" (ScitechDaily, Alive, Dead, and Hot: Schrödinger’s Cat Defies the Rules of Quantum Physics)


Theoretically, teleportation is easy to make. The system must only make a quantum tunnel between particles. And if particles are superpositioned and entangled. An energy impulse will come behind the higher energy particle that pushes the particle to the lower energy state particle. The higher energy particle sends an energy string to the lower energy participant of the quantum entanglement. 

Information travels to lower energy particles. It's possible to teleport information. Theoretically, the same idea can be used to teleport more complex quantum systems. But the problem is this. For teleportation, the system must make a superposition end entanglement for every single particle. 

Then it must keep those particles in the right order. So the quantum channel. There that information travels must be tight. The universe's expansion causes the quantum channel to expand. That expansion forms space and that space increases entropy. Entropy is the thing that makes teleportation so difficult. 

Schrödinger's state is one of the things that makes, or it should make teleportation possible. The idea is that if there are two identical elementary particle clouds there another is in an extremely low energy state that causes an effect the lower energy particles just suck higher energy particles through the quantum channels or "shadows" to them. The problem with a complex system teleportation is that those systems must be perfectly superpositioned. 

That means that fermions and also bosons must all be put into superposition. Then they must travel to the right places. The thing that makes that very difficult is that the information must travel through the quantum fields. Those fields cause entropy that destroys the system. The problem is that successful teleportation requires. The system can transport particles, fermions, and bosons to the goal and keep them in their original places.

The new quantum filter improves the quantum computer's accuracy.


"USC researchers developed an optical filter that preserves quantum entanglement using anti–parity-time symmetry. This breakthrough enables more reliable quantum technologies and was successfully tested with over 99% fidelity. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, 99% Fidelity: USC Scientists Create First-Ever Quantum Filter To Preserve Entanglement)

Quantum filter is the thing. That decreases noise in a quantum system. Or it's mission is to separate noise from the quantum system. The noise is the energy that breaks information in the quantum entanglement. When we think about the rules of computers the number of qubit states determines how sensitive the system is to outside interference. 

The increase in the qubit states means. The quantum computer becomes more powerful. The problem is that the quantum computer packs data into a photon and then sends it to another photon using superposition and entanglement. That thing requires a very high accuracy. If there is lots of wave movement or interference that thing is impossible. 

One of the most critical things in quantum computing is to separate necessary information from the "white noise". Without that ability. The quantum computer is useless. The quantum filter removes garbage from the quantum information. That makes it more effective. 

"The breakthrough at the heart of this work comes from a surprising idea in theoretical physics called anti–parity-time (APT) symmetry—a concept that has only recently begun to attract attention in the world of optics. Most traditional optical systems are designed to avoid loss and maintain symmetry, meaning that light flows in predictable, balanced ways. " (ScitechDaily, 99% Fidelity: USC Scientists Create First-Ever Quantum Filter To Preserve Entanglement)

"But APT-symmetric systems take a very different approach: they embrace loss—not randomly, but in a precise and carefully controlled manner. By combining this engineered dissipation with the power of interference, these systems offer a unique and counterintuitive way to steer how light behaves. This unconventional control opens up exciting possibilities for manipulating light in ways that were previously thought to be impossible."

The Majorana zero states can finally make quantum computers reliable.




"Researchers created a “sweet spot” in a quantum system where elusive Majorana particles stay stable, offering new hope for reliable quantum computing. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, The Exotic Particle That Might Finally Make Quantum Computers Reliable"

"Scientists have developed a more stable platform for Majorana zero modes, exotic particles that could revolutionize quantum computing."(ScitechDaily, The Exotic Particle That Might Finally Make Quantum Computers Reliable"


"Easy explained: Majorana Zero Modes"


"In the world of physics, particles can have interesting properties and behave in strange ways. One type of particle that scientists have been studying is called a Majorana particle." (CivilsDaily/Quantum Supercomputer using Majorana Zero Modes)

Majorana particles have a special property called “non-Abelian statistics.” Without getting too technical, this property means that when two Majorana particles come close together, something interesting happens. " (CivilsDaily/Quantum Supercomputer using Majorana Zero Modes)

"Instead of behaving like normal particles, they can combine in a special way to form a new kind of particle called a Majorana zero mode.

A Majorana zero mode is a very peculiar particle because it is its own antiparticle. Normally, particles have antiparticles with opposite properties, like an electron and a positron. But Majorana zero modes are special because they don’t have separate antiparticles. They are their own antiparticles!" (CivilsDaily/Quantum Supercomputer using Majorana Zero Modes)



Majorana zero modes, MZM are so-called quasiparticles. Those particles called some Mojorana bound states act like real particles. The Majorana bound states or Majorana zero modes are more appropriate than "Majorana fermion" because that thing is not a real particle. It's like a hole, tunnel, or whirl in the quantum field. 

And researchers hope that they can use this article to create a reliable quantum computer. The problem with quantum computers is that those systems transport information in physical particles. The system creates the superposition and quantum entanglement between two photons. Then information travels between those two particles in a quantum string. That is like a belt. The problem is this: those photons are very sensitive to outgoing energy. 

Even a small energy load that hits the quantum entanglement can push those photons out of their positions. Or if the receiving part of the quantum entanglement or the string, that transports data turns too high energy level that string jumps too far from the receiving particle. And that destroys the quantum entanglement. There is the possibility to use some quasiparticles like excitons to anchor photons into the position. But there is one little problem with that thing. 

Excitons are electron holes that electron orbits. That means it's hard to make quantum entanglement over the electron. In some other models, two electrons will anchor both sides of that electron-hole. The problem is that the quantum string must travel over the electron-hole.  Or the system creates quantum entanglement between the electron and its hole. 

MZM can answer the problem of how to make superpositions that don't react to weak interference. The weak interference is the hardest thing to predict. And that destroys the quantum entanglement. If that happens without warning the quantum computer must start to make calculations from the beginning. 

The interference is like a wave that travels on the surface at a standard energy level. The idea is that those MZM modes raise those superpositioned and entangled particles above the base energy level. That protects them against small interference. Or the particles are under an energy dome that protects them. We can think of that thing as a situation. Where we raise superpositioned and entangled particles to hills. There those waves will not touch them. If energy cannot touch those particles it cannot affect them.

New metamaterials are making new types of energy capacitors possible.



Capacitors are tools that can make new types of electronics possible. Basically. A capacitor is a metal bite that doesn't release its power until the switch connects it to the system. Capacitors can make new lightweight energy storage solutions possible.  Unlike chemical batteries, capacitors don't need acids. The capacitor has one problem. Those systems can store lots of energy inside them. But the capacitor releases that energy in less than a second. 

That forms a very high voltage impulse in the system. And that causes damage to the microchips.  The chemical batteries are easier to control than capacitors. But if that problem can be solved the capacitors can form a new, environmentally friendly energy solution for lightweight devices. 



"Scientists have discovered a new way to store mechanical energy using twisted rods in specially designed metamaterials, delivering massive energy density gains and big potential for robotics and machines.

"The model shows the helical deformation of the metamaterial. Thanks to this mechanism, storing a high amount of energy is possible without breakages. Credit: IAM, KIT / Collage: Anja Sefrin, KIT" (ScitechDaily, 160x More Power From a Twist: The Metamaterial Breakthrough Redefining Energy Storage)


New metamaterials are the ultimate tools. Those new materials like plastic-metal hybrid materials are tools for new types of capacitors whose shape can be different from the traditional systems used. The new metamaterials can store more energy than conventional materials. And they can be useful in new types of energy solutions. Long plastic polymers there the metal bites can store lots of energy. The problem is how to release that energy precisely at the right moment. And with the precise right power. The metamaterials can use small fibers that impact those metal bites. 

That allows the system to transport energy out from the capacitor with a very high accuracy. If those capacitors release very strong energy impulses electricity will be lost if that voltage is transported through a traditional transformer. The answer can be a polymer that transports metal bites to electrodes. The number of those metal bites determines the voltage and power that the capacitor releases. The ability to adjust the power of the energy that the capacitor releases is a vital component in successful energy technology.

The first all-in-one chip works as a pathfinder for a quantum network.


"Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first chip that integrates key quantum photonic components to generate and manipulate entangled photons, advancing efforts toward a scalable quantum internet. This breakthrough enables transmission of quantum information over existing fiber-optic infrastructure, using mass-producible chips to reduce cost and complexity. (Artist’s concept.) (ScitechDaily, Scientists Build First All-in-One Chip for Quantum Internet)

The quantum internet is extremely safe. Data that travels in the quantum network is connected to particles.  If somebody tries to steal data that causes the qubit the particle that transports data will lose it. If somebody looks at the data. It travels out of the qubit. In regular encryption, the system just disturbs the data into new order.

Quantum encryption means that the system denies the access to the data. In the simplest versions. The system can transport data in hollow laser beams. The data transportation laser sends data in the hollow laser beam. That denies outsiders to see data. That travels in the system. 

Both quantum computers and quantum networks require a new type of infrastructure. Old-fashioned copper- and light cables are useless if the system must transport qubits in the network. One of the solutions can be fullerene nanotubes. Qubits transport information in those nanostructures. 

The idea is that the system loads information to the photon. And then. That photon will travel inside the nanotube. The problem is that those nanotubes must be very long. Replacing copper and light cables using nanotubes is not a cheap solution. The nanotube is also very hard. And that makes it hard to put them into curves. 

Another way to close this problem is to make a quantum wire that looks like a tapeworm. The structure of the quantum network would be a series of quantum chips. That thing makes the structure. That is a combination of the quantum computer and data transportation system. The system transports information in a series of superpositioned and entangled photons. The cable itself acts as a data-handling tool. 

That segment-chain computer can have two ways to handle data. The electric- or photon-electric binary system prepares those quantum chips to transport qubits. The system can transport data without changing or processing it. But it can also operate as a quantum computer. 

The system can act as a series. In that model, the quantum chips send information back to the beginning point when data travels through them. The system stores that data in mass memories. It can compare data that travels in two separate chains. Because. Information travels in that quantum chip chain in stages. 

The system recognizes if there is a difference in data. The data-handling process happens in stages. And the system recognizes where the error begins. That kind of "intelligent cable" would be one way to make a quantum computer that can transport information between two points.

The quantum effect allows us to research our minds and memories.



"A stunning discovery shows that quantum computation might be embedded in the very structure of life, enabling organisms to process information at mind-boggling speeds – even in warm, wet environments. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Discovered Quantum Signals Inside Life Itself)


The quantum effect in living organisms is something that we might not even understand. The living systems are complicated. They are full of interference, and their entropy is very high. But otherwise in cells. It can be "deep" micro whirls that allow quantum information to travel through the cell itself. The proteins in the cells can also form so-called quantum channels. There quantum information can travel without interacting with the cell's structures. 

That thing opens new visions about the research cell's internal actions and reactions. But that thing opens new visions to trying to understand things like consciousness and its mechanisms. That quantum phenomenon can open the road to research how things like magnetic fields transform or affect our thoughts and minds. That thing can also be the key to reading our memories and dreams. 



"The computational capacities of aneural organisms and neurons have been drastically underestimated by considering only classical information channels such as ionic flows and action potentials, which achieve maximum computing speeds of ∼103 ops/s. However, it has been recently confirmed by fluorescence quantum yield experiments that large networks of quantum emitters in cytoskeletal polymers support superradiant states at room temperature, with maximum speeds of ∼1012 to 1013 ops/s, more than a billion times faster and within two orders of magnitude of the Margolus-Levitin limit for ultraviolet-photoexcited states. "(ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Discovered Quantum Signals Inside Life Itself)

These protein networks of quantum emitters are found in both aneural eukaryotic organisms as well as in stable, organized bundles in neuronal axons. In this single-author research article in Science Advances, quantitative comparisons are made between the computations that can have been performed by all superradiant life in the history of our planet, and the computations that can have been performed by the entire matter-dominated universe with which such life is causally connected. Estimates made for human-made classical computers and future quantum computers with effective error correction motivate a reevaluation of the role of life, computing with quantum degrees of freedom, and artificial intelligences in the cosmos.

"Yale researchers have uncovered evidence that babies can store memories far earlier than we once thought. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Your Earliest Memories Might Still Exist – Science Just Found the Clues)


In some models, our first memories are behind things like nightmares. 


Researchers think that the very first memories in our brains still exist. But brains cannot collect them into new entirety. Those first memories are stored in brains where were only a very few neurons if we compare them with adult brains. That means memories scatter around the brain. And maybe. Quantum technology can read those memory allocation units that the first neurons stored. Theoretically, those systems must only recognize those cells, read the data units from those very first memory cells, and then reorder them into the original order. 

Memory cells act like a puzzle. Every piece in the puzzle is an independent memory allocation unit.  Every memory cell holds one part of memory. And cell group handles all of those memories. Every neuron handles only a small part of the image. And if those neurons are far away from each other that makes it hard to restore images.  Thinking means that. Brains reconnect those memory allocation units. When a person gets flashbacks in some stressful situations that means that the non-used neural track is activated. 

There is a model where nightmares are forming in the first memory cells. First memories are behind strange dreams our brains have access to those memories. But they cannot collect them back into their original entirety. 

When we think about information stored in our brains we must realize that the first memories from childhood might not gone or lost. The problem is that our brains advance from childhood. In that process, the number of neurons grows and their connections are multiplying. So our first memories form in brains where there are not very many neurons. When the number of those neurons grows those memories or memory allocation units will go to longer distances than they were in our childhood. Our brains just cannot convert those memories into new entities.

The supersonic flight turns metal bonds weaker.


Above: North American X-15 in wind tunnel test. 

We know that friction weakens materials. Things like metal structures are vulnerable to heat. The reason for that is that metal structures are not solid and homogenous structures. The friction forms heat that destroys the metal structures. In the second image (Image 2),  we can see the aluminum crystalline structure. We can see that those are not in perfect symmetry. But the structure looks a little bit like a diamond (Image 4). That atomic structure makes aluminum very suitable for aviation. The problem is that the real bonds that are marked as grey tubes don't follow the route of the theoretical bonds that are marked by a black dash. If aluminum atoms form the boxes or structures like carbon in a diamond. That makes it stronger.

However the structure can be more effective if those aluminum atoms can form a perfect box structure that continues homogenously over the entire trunk. Things like nanotubes can transport energy out of the structure. The best solution for nanotubes is that they are horizontally through the metal structure. If there are no connection points. That makes energy travel better through those tubes. 

The image 3 shows the problem of energy in the 3D surfaces. We can see that there are potholes in that structure. And that causes energy asymmetry in this lattice. 

The potholes and hills in structure cause differences in energy levels. Make energy travel to the lower energy points. And that forms standing waves that push atoms away. 

There are two ways to make the material strong. One is nanotubes and one is to make metal extremely pure. 

The structure is like boxes. And that allows the metal to dump energy into those boxes. That energy forms a standing wave that breaks the structure sooner or later. The thing that breaks the structure is the reflecting wave from the metal crystal. When we compare that structure with the diamond's carbon structure.



(Image 3) The polarization in lattice. The polarization under laser ray. Tells about the energy levels in the lattice. 

 We can see that the diamond's dodecahedron structure (Image 3)allows energy to travel out from the structure more easily than from the metal. If the energy level in the top carbon is lower than the bottom carbon. That increases the energy flow through a diamond. 


There are small metal crystals and bites of dross in the metal structure. When heat transfers to those structures. It causes standing waves into the layers. When energy travels into those small crystals. They store that energy inside them. Sooner or later. Energy levels in those metal structures turn higher than in the environment. That energy destroys the material structures.

We know that. To keep material in its form. There must be someplace. There the material can put that energy. The reason why carbon fiber stands better at supersonic speed is that it is fiber. In supersonic speed the air pressure pushes carbon fiber against the wing. If that fiber goes over the wing it can transport more energy to air. 

The next question is where that energy dump can put that energy. One answer can be the nanodiamonds. That can transport energy out from the metal. Another answer to the heat problem can be nanotubes that can conduct energy out of the structure. The system works that way so that there is a lower energy area behind the aircraft. 

The nanotubes can transport energy out from metal structures if they continue over the entire airplane's body. Things like electron beams can also operate as the thermal pump that transports energy out from the structure.
