The one-way sound propagation and acoustic computers.

Sound Waves Travel in One Direction Experiment

"In the ETH experiment, self-oscillations (blue-red) cause sound waves (green, orange, violet) to travel through the circulator only in one direction. Credit: Xin Zou." (ScitechDaily, Scientific Breakthrough: Pioneering One-Way Sound Propagation)

The system creates a circular soundwave. That aims to sound in one direction. The fact is that the system can amplify the soundwave like a transistor. 

"Researchers have created a technology that enables sound waves to propagate only forward, eliminating backward transmission without loss. This system, based on self-oscillating mechanisms, could significantly enhance electromagnetic wave management in various technologies."

"Sound and other waves usually propagate equally forward and backward."(ScitechDaily, Scientific Breakthrough: Pioneering One-Way Sound Propagation)

"Researchers have now developed a method that prevents sound waves from traveling backward without deteriorating their propagation in the forward direction."(ScitechDaily, Scientific Breakthrough: Pioneering One-Way Sound Propagation)

In the future, this method could also be applied to electromagnetic waves, for instance in radar technology." (ScitechDaily, Scientific Breakthrough: Pioneering One-Way Sound Propagation)

This method can be transferred into skyrmion-based EM systems that transport and aim the wave movement. In the skyrmion-based system, the acoustic ring is replaced by a skyrmion. 

One-way sound propagation is the tool that might be more interesting than we ever thought. The one-way sound propagation can make the system called "sound transistor" possible. That thing can make it possible to create new very highly accurate sonar systems. This kind of system can also make it possible to make sound- or pressure-wave-based leviation systems. The soundwave is pressure, that travels in the atmosphere. 

The difference between acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves is the size of the particle that sends wave movement. The acoustic waves travel between atoms.

One of the most interesting visions of computing is acoustic computers. In acoustic computers, data travels in the acoustic waves. Acoustic computers can be suitable systems for robots that operate in high-level electromagnetic radiation. The acoustic internet can make it possible for robots to communicate with each other in high-level electromagnetic radiation. 

Communication between the systems can happen using a method called  Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, (SASER, Sound Lasers), and the data transportation happens through the air. The SASER system sends data to the microphone. But, computers can also use acoustic waves in their internal communication. 

We know how the human ear transforms soundwaves into a neural data form. That happens through the small hairs. They vibrate when a soundwave that travels in liquid moves them. Those hairs stimulate neurons where they are connected. The acoustic sense is quite similar to touch. Sometimes anthropologists ask: why we don't have those sensor hairs in other neurons. The neural system can also transport information. In the form of sound waves or pressure waves also between other neurons than just neurons that handle hearing. 

When we think about the system that emulates the audition and transports information. In the form of pressure waves. That thing can make it possible to make an acoustic system or even an acoustic qubit. The acoustic system can transmit data in many wavelengths at the same time. It's possible to create a similar structure that we can find from our ear in the microchip. When soundwave hits the small switch that connects and disconnects electricity in the wire. 

The pressure- or so-called acoustic computers are been something, that we didn't ever imagine. But if the robot uses acoustic computers that kind of system is immune to the EM radiation. In acoustic computers, the system transmits information through carbon tubes or nanotubes. Those systems can be in the vacuum layer that isolates the soundwaves from the outside effects. This means that the sound isolation prevents the outside noise from disturbing the acoustic wave that transmits data.

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".
