Intelligent materials are the future.

"Researchers developed a quantum-classical method to optimize photochromic materials for photopharmacology.

In the future, the material itself can have intelligent components. Or it can be like the computer itself. This kind of intelligent structure can be the tool that can make the self-fixing structures possible.

Prologue: Slime molds, neurons, and proteins. 

Things like protein research are the things that can give lots of things to intelligent technology. When we think about the intelligence of the neurons, we must ask one question. That question is: which thing makes neurons intelligent? Is that thing something inside neurons? Or is that thing some protein in those cells? The slime mold is the creature that shows the ability to learn things. The slime mold has proteins with sense-and-response circuits. 

That creature can learn things without a single neuron. And that is the new way to think about intelligence. Intelligence doesn't necessarily require neurons. If nanosystems can make it possible to create proteins with sense-and-response ability that thing can be a breakthrough in nano- and why not also full-size robots and microchip production. The DNA-controlled nanomachine can be interesting. But the interesting thing is does the slime mold require the DNA to control those proteins or do its proteins have the ability to move, learn, and react without the DNA?

So if the neuron's surface or inside proteins have the same ability, that means the system can make the structures that have those proteins. The artificial neurons there proteins make sense and response circuits are more resistible against things like radiation than natural neurons. However, these kinds of systems require highly advanced AI-controlled nanotechnology. However, if researchers can find that intelligent part of neurons it can revolutionize robotics and other things. 

"Researchers have demonstrated a novel way to manipulate the atomic structure of graphite, a common yet versatile element. Their technique, called “Slidetronics,” utilizes van der Waals forces to reconfigure atomic layers, potentially transforming them into materials with capabilities akin to electronic memory storage.  Credit: Tel Aviv University," (ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Discovered a New Way to Transform Matter)

Nanotechnology allows to creation of structures that involve nano-size metal sticks in the graphite structure. The structure can be connected with VO2 (Vanadium dioxide) materials that can change their shape with terahertz light. 

"Researchers at Osaka University have developed a method to enhance high-speed electronic devices by using a VO2-based metamaterial that dynamically adjusts its properties through temperature control. This innovation improves the performance of silicon photodetectors by increasing their sensitivity to terahertz light." (ScitechDaily, Breaking Limits: How “Living” Electrodes Are Revolutionizing High-Speed Electronics)

"Researchers at Osaka University are pursuing an alternative approach: enhancing device performance by integrating a patterned metal layer—known as a structural metamaterial—onto a conventional substrate like silicon. This technique accelerates electron flow, offering significant potential. However, a key challenge remains: ensuring precise control over the metamaterial’s structure to allow for real-time adjustments based on practical operating conditions."(ScitechDaily, Breaking Limits: How “Living” Electrodes Are Revolutionizing High-Speed Electronics)

"In search of a solution, the research team examined vanadium dioxide (VO2). When heated appropriately, small areas in a VO2 layer transform from insulating to metallic. These metallic regions can carry charge, thus behaving as tiny dynamic electrodes. The researchers exploited this behavior to produce ‘living’ microelectrodes that selectively enhanced the response of silicon photodetectors to terahertz light."

The quantum and nanotechnologies revolutionize materials and everything else. 

Quantum and nanotechnologies are making new materials possible. Slidetronics is the tool that can manipulate Van Der Waals bonds in the material. Another tool is the particles that can travel through the graphite or graphene layers. Those particles can be extremely low energy. And they can pull energy from graphene into them. 

That makes this kind of thing a more effective energy remover. Or coolers than before. These kinds of material combinations are tools that can change everything. Nanotechnology allows. To create materials. They can have things like benzene rings or benzene wheels on their layers. That can make the aircraft or ship surface more slippery than before. Those systems can act as nanotechnical generators. When the structure moves those wheels give energy to the generators that can give energy to the small-size nanoelectronics. 

Quantum technology is the tool that makes it possible to create things like invisible materials or materials that can have certain abilities, like the sense of touch by measuring the distance between layers. The invisible material means a material where the system sends reflection from radiation to the other side of the layer. Or the system can make the high-energy photon group between layer and object. 

That thing creates the pike that aims the energy or wave movement past the structure. The photon stylus can be used to control solar heat. The high-energy and locked photon acts like a supersonic stylus at the nose of the jet fighter. That supersonic stylus or mast turns the pressure waves past the body.

The quantum version of this phenomenon makes it possible to create a structure that turns light and other radiation in the same way out from the material. And that thing can revolutionize the military and civil world. Those photons can make it possible to turn the direction of visible light, UV, and infrared radiation. 

When something touches the layer of the quantum system. That can be quantum entanglement that travels between 2D materials and can sense the point. Where energy level changes. Quantum materials are different than nanomaterials. They use some quantum mechanical solution to manipulate themselves. Nanomaterials are materials that are made atom by atom. 

The quantum imaging systems make it possible to create the materials in the AI-controlled chambers. Because the system sees what it does, it can make many new things to materials. And things like spin liquids can make new types of energy dumps into those materials. In those materials, the spin liquids can be in the nanotubes. And the energy that hits those nanotubes will fall into that liquid. The cooling system is the problematic thing. If those spin liquids will warm too much, they will lose their effectiveness.

The new types of ion engines are tools that can bring new tools for space research. 

The new method to make the proton beams using lasers and water are things that make new ion and proton technology possible. The proton is the simplest ion. The proton beams can make it possible to create new types of ion engines. The proton beam can also used to create the antiproton beams if some system can turn those protons to spin the opposite. 

That can make it possible to create antimatter engines that can open the route to the entire solar system. The antimatter engines can be like graphene or graphite tubes their antimatter interacts with the material. Things like water or some other liquids can increase the punch of that system. And that gas can keep the temperature low. But the quantum system that drives very cold ions through the structure can also be an effective temperature controller.
