MIT physicists created a five-lane quantum highway for electrons.

"Artist’s rendition of a newly discovered superhighway for electrons that can occur in rhombohedral graphene. “We found a goldmine, and every scoop is revealing something new,” says MIT Assistant Professor Long Ju. Credit: Sampson Wilcox/Research Laboratory of Electronics" (ScitechDaily, MIT Physicists Forge a Five-Lane Quantum Superhighway for Electrons) The quantum information highway allows the system to transport information, stored in things like electrons.  Boosting binary data security. The system can use cable ducts and share information between individual wires. Then each of the wires transports information forward in different lines.  The cable ducts can also used to create a virtual quantum channel. That can work at room temperature. In those systems, the intelligent operating system shares information with each wire. Then that system drives data to the cable duct. In cable ducts, information can travel in lines like in real quantum computers.  The parallel ports c

The rat's stem cells restore mouse brain circuits.

  "Studies demonstrate the regeneration of mouse brain circuits with rat stem cells, providing new insights into neurological restoration and cross-species brain development. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Revolutionizing Regeneration: Rat Stem Cells Restore Mouse Brain Circuits) The rat's stem cells are used to restore the mouse's brain. And that gives a new hope for brain injury patients. The ability to grow and clone stem cells limits those therapies. Genetic engineering makes it possible for that system can use genetically engineered rats to create new stem cells for humans.  The ability to produce stem cells in the laboratory is the key element for successful stem cell therapies. Stem cells can be used to fix any tissue type, but the problem is where researchers can take the stem cells. One solution to that problem is cancer cells. The system can remove the genome from those cells. Then it must inject the new DNA into them.  Making the new neurons from

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that

Quantum technology requires new materials.

"Artist impression of new nanostrings that can vibrate for a very long time. These nanostrings vibrate more than 100,000 times per second. Because it’s difficult for energy to leak out, it also means environmental noise is hard to get in, making these some of the best sensors for room temperature environments. Credit: Richard Norte" (ScitechDaily, Defying Gravity: Nanostrings That Mimic Quantum Effects at Room Temperature) One particular material group that interests researchers is "zero-dimensional material".  That term means materials with one atom layer. Or maybe someday researchers can make subatomic particle layers that are like graphene, but they form protons or neutrons.  Researchers are interested in those lattice atom layers because 2D systems are easier to control than complex 3D structures. The 2D system involves fewer variables. AI can easily predict changes in 2D systems than in 3D complex structures.   The zero-dimensional ferroelectric vortex: a quant

Generative AI can turn SciFi into reality.

"Leading AI scientists warn of the significant risks associated with the rapid development of AI technologies in a Policy Forum. They propose that major technology firms and public funders dedicate at least one-third of their budgets to risk assessment and mitigation. They also advocate for stringent global standards to prevent AI misuse and emphasize the importance of proactive governance to steer AI development towards beneficial outcomes and avoid potential disasters. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, When Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact: The AI Dilemma) Artificial general intelligence (AGI) can be the large language model, that can create smaller specific language models. And maybe the computer or programming industry works around large-scale language models. The clients use the AGI to generate those limited AIs.  The idea is that the customers pay to owners of the AGI for things like server maintenance. The owners of the AGI need money for electric bills. Thi

Biotechnology gives unlimited possibilities.

"Between day one (left) and day 14 (right), plant cells 3D printed in hydrogel grow and begin flourishing into yellow clusters. Credit: Adapted from ACS Central Science 2024, DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.4c00338" (ScitechDaily, Crafting Programmable Living Materials With Synthetic Biology & 3D Printing) The synthetic DNA-manipulated biomaterials revolutionized 3D printing technology. The ability to combine species makes it possible to create large-size biological structures. That follows certain shapes. But when that technology is connected with 3D printing technology, that makes the ultimate tool. The DNA-manipulated cells can create the LEGO bricks that the 3D printers can put in certain places. The ability to connect corals and starfishes makes it possible to create the structures, that the bioprinter can put in certain places.  The silicon algae's shell genome can connected with the trees. And that can create trees with silicon shells. Genomes from electric eels can tu

The 6G communication can use terahertz radiation.

"Tohoku University researchers have developed a tunable filter for terahertz wave signals, facilitating higher transmission rates and improved signal quality. This breakthrough, crucial for the advancement of terahertz applications in communication, medical imaging, and industrial analysis, promises to unlock the full potential of terahertz waves across various fields." (ScitechDaily, Unlocking the Future of 6G: A New Breakthrough in Terahertz Communication) The world is going to be mobile. And that means there is always a need for new and faster mobile networks. The problem with data networks is that even if 4G and 5G are fast. Mobile applications always turn harder and harder. More and more mobile applications like cell phones connect to mobile networks. And that thing increases the need for data transportation capacity.  In the future, all TV sets and even houses use wireless data transmission because data cables are expensive. It's cheaper and easier to install long-r
