Biomimetics: copying living organisms into machines.





There are two areas where solutions get their inspiration from bioworld. Those areas are aerodynamics and neurocomputing. In aerodynamics, things like Stealth bombers and stealth fighters imitate forms from nature. The B-2 "Spirit" bomber imitates the Falcon. And the retired F-117 imitates butterfly.  The Japanese high-speed trains got their shape from a woodpecker beak. 

Biomimetics (or biomimics) means that the system imitates a natural animal's form. Or they can imitate the behavior of the natural animals. That means drone swarms can imitate starlings. That makes it hard for them to separate from natural birds. Or the small attack drone can imitate the parasitic wasps. 

The system can slip the ammunition from the tube to the target like a missile silo. A thermobaric grenade can cause damage to the rocket's body. The mRNA medicines are artificial viruses.  And we know that the best of things come from the nature. The small robots can imitate spiders. Their command antenna is like the spider's net. 

The other version is the grab-looking robots that can operate in repair or recon and sabotage missions. Biomimetic systems can also imitate the behavior of some natural things like vegetables. That kind of system is the solar panel that follows the sun. During the entire daytime. There are lots of things that biomimetics can offer.

The most modern neurocomputers imitate human brains. 


How can Ai think like humans? In this case, researchers just make an algorithm that can interconnect data from multiple sources. When we think, we connect data from various sources. And then. We can transform information into something new. Information is stored in multiple neurons, and each of the neurons involves a small database. 

The reason why human brains are so effective is that there are so many databases. Each neuron has multiple connections. And if some neuron connection is jammed, the system can use other connections. The neurocomputer imitates human brains. In that system, the computer has multiple processors, that start the operation at the same time. There are always three computers in one unit. Two of them work with complex problems and the third one selects which solution is better if those computers get different answers.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
