"For the first time, researchers have used bacteria to “upcycle” waste polyethylene.

Move over Spider-Man: Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a strain of bacteria that can turn plastic waste into a biodegradable spider silk with multiple uses.

Transforming Plastic Into Protein

Their new study marks the first time scientists have used bacteria to transform polyethylene plastic — the kind used in many single-use items — into a high-value protein product.

That product, which the researchers call “bio-inspired spider silk” because of its similarity to the silk spiders use to spin their webs, has applications in textiles, cosmetics, and even medicine."

In some fairy tales the spiders make spider silk skirts for a hero. In the modern version, the microchip-controlled spiders are used as controlled looms. The fact is that microchip-controlled bugs like spiders could make canvases. But genetically engineered bacteria can be used to make silk or spider silk. The last one is one of the strongest materials in nature. The problem is how to get enough silk.

Today genetically engineered bacteria can make it. But maybe the future is the genetically engineered cotton. Same way as bacteria genetically engineered cotton can create the spider's silk

The nanomachines can involve those genetically engineered cells. Those nanomachines can used to fix things like damage in bulletproof vests. But there is more use for Kevlar and silk than just bulletproof vests. Developers can use those materials in composite armor or clothes that must be strong and natural. The composite material is silk. Spider silk in layers can used to create strong clothes.

But developers can put that material between titanium or ceramic layers. The miniature robots that carry cell cultures are the living cells that can create spider silk. Developers can use those robots like spiders in those fairy tales.

Spiders silk is natural kevlar. Or it is stronger than Kevlar, and natural production. The problem with spider silk is it's hard to get. The silk that spiders use in their nets allows them to create more comfortable bullet-proof vests. Things like ropes, which need extremely good pull strength like aircraft carriers stopping wires and other things like lifting cables can created using this fundamental material.

The genetically engineered bacteria can answer the problem of how to get enough silk. The genetically engineered bacteria can connect with the network structure. That bacteria can turn the plastic waste into spider silk that is used for biostructures. If the kevlar or spider silk fibers are put on the carbon fiber net, that thing gives a good base for other materials and nanomachines that can connect themselves to that structure. In composite structures, there is kevlar or some other strong elastic fiber canvas between layers.

In those advanced materials, nanomachines are like Legos that fix damaged material. The kevlar or silk layer has impacts on it. But then we can think of those genetically engineered bacteria as a tool, that can handle toxic waste. In the cases that the genetically engineered bacteria can turn oil or plastic waste into non-poisonous fibers like cellulose. That thing makes it possible to turn the toxic waste into waste that is easy to burn or put into compost.

The AI-based PCs will replace current PCs quite soon. A Lenovo director says.

The AI-based PCs will replace current PCs quite soon. A Lenovo director says. Lenovo plans to replace current PCs by using new AI-based systems. The AI-based PC is the tool that makes computing more powerful, more effective, and safer than ever before. The Kernel-based AI that guards computers and identifies the users are tools that are required at this time of modern computing. The problem with this type of advantage is that if those AI-based system's servers are in China, makes the PC an ultimate control tool. Another thing is that the host who controls servers can use data collected from the users to create military AI applications. Computer games help to create AI that can respond to all types of actions. And AI also can create things like hypersonic lifting bodies and command systems for military tools. Also, AI can create new types of dual-use systems that control drone swarms in marketing situations for making dragon images in the skies. But the same systems can contro

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool. Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-

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
