MIT researchers created a sensor that harvests energy from its environment.

There is nothing new about sensors that harvest energy from the sunlight. The thing that makes the new sensor fundamental is that it can also operate in complete darkness. This system makes it possible for employers to make sensor installations in narrow places, where is hard to pull wires.

Because these kinds of sensors can operate in darkness, researchers can use the same technology to create the power sources for the miniature robots. That new technology makes those robots able to operate in areas. Where there is no sunlight.

The new sensor is fully battery-free. It can harvest its energy from the environment. The difference between solar-panel systems is that this system uses vibrations and electromagnetic fields as energy sources. And that means it's the ultimate tool for making sensors that observe things like diesel engines.

Because this new sensor can operate in darkness, it's easy to install. The same technology that is used in this tiny sensor can used in radio transmitter-recevers.

That allows eavesdropping systems that are independent of the battery. Even if those energy harvesters can harvest only low voltages they can store energy into capacitors. And then that energy can used in remote-control systems. The ability to collect energy from the environment is an interesting thing. Nanorobots can use this technology as their energy source.

In the same way, that kind of thing can used for nano-size microchips. In those systems, a wireless system transports data to the computing system wirelessly. The system uses the same radio waves as the power source. The problem with nanotechnical systems is that electricity jumps over their tiny switches. And that requires new ways to transport electricity and information to them.

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
