The Abolition of Man
Cultocracy introduction
In light of current events I think it is wise to view the bigger picture .
Expect many more controlled diversions and contrived distractions in the near future…..
Many more .
Always remember , there is only one law .
Way back in 1943 the author C.S.Lewis had this to say :
“I am only making clear what Man’s conquest of Nature really means and especially that final stage in the conquest, which, perhaps, is not far off.”
“The final stage is come when Man by eugenics, by pre-natal conditioning, and by an education and propaganda based on a perfect applied psychology, has obtained full control over himself.”
“Human nature will be the last part of Nature to surrender to Man.”
“The battle will then be won.”
“We shall have taken the thread of life out of the hand of Clotho’ and be henceforth free to make our species whatever we wish it to be.”
“The battle will indeed be won.”
“But who, precisely, will have won it?”
Who Wants to Be a Slave?
The Technocratic Convergence of Humans and Data
“Marshall McLuhan observed in the 1960s that humans are toolmakers whose tools eventually reshape them.”
“Fifty years hence, we suggest that the aphorism should include “rewire” humans as the present age of the internet serves as the global nervous system for humankind.”
“This essay introduces the concept of convergence as developed by Henry Jenkins and explores how the practice has expanded in the current global pandemic milieu wherein the interests of a technocratic elite converge to cultivate a general acceptance of the digital tools of a new socioeconomic order.”
“Alongside this analysis stands the historical development of computing tools and the development of data as tools of social control.”
“In a world where the manufactured need for ever-increasing speed and efficiency have largely co-opted human reason, we analyze how digital tools threaten to merge with humans.”
“The primary aim is to situate the top-down attempt to acquire control over the masses in a larger historical context when sophisticated computing tools began serving the need to track and control populations.”
“We analyze the persuasive communications that serve this emerging order of the market working to integrate human beings into the forthcoming Internet of Things (IoT) where all organic and inorganic objects are prepared for sale and purchase.”
“Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.”
“—Jean-Jacques Rousseau”

Monstrous Discovery
“Startling, never-before-seen images show that the new coronavirus hijacks proteins in our cells to create monstrous tentacles that branch out and may transmit infection to neighboring cells. “
“The new study, which involved experiments using cells from humans and others from African green monkeys, shows that the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 is especially adept at disrupting vital communications. These communications take place both within cells and from one cell to another.”
“This paper shows just how completely the virus is able to rewire all of the signals going on inside the cell. That’s really remarkable and it’s something that occurs very rapidly (as soon as two hours after cells are infected)…..”
“The virus most powerfully hijacks a kinase called CK2, which plays a key role in the basic frame of the cell as well as its growth, proliferation and death.”
“They also found that the virus has a dramatic effect on a pathway — a group of kinases that form a cascade a little like falling dominoes. The virus hijacks this cascade so that the end result becomes a dangerous overreaction by our immune system.”
“The study’s finding on this pathway may help to explain the extreme overreaction — a cytokine storm — that causes the immune system to kill both healthy and diseased tissue, leading to more than half of the deaths from COVID-19.”

PAC-MAN
“Last year, Stanley Qi, an assistant professor in the departments of bioengineering, and chemical and systems biology at Stanford University and his team had begun working on a technique called PAC-MAN — or Prophylactic Antiviral CRISPR in human cells — that uses the gene-editing tool CRISPR to fight influenza.”
“Like all CRISPR systems, PAC-MAN is composed of an enzyme — in this case, the virus-killing enzyme Cas13 — and a strand of guide RNA…..”
“By scrambling the virus’s genetic code, PAC-MAN could neutralize the coronavirus and stop it from replicating inside cells.”
“Today, researchers studying lipitoids for potential therapeutic applications have shown that these materials are nontoxic to the body and can deliver nucleotides by encapsulating them in tiny nanoparticles just one billionth of a meter wide — the size of a virus.”
“According to Qi, the lipitoids performed very well. When packaged with coronavirus-targeting PAC-MAN, the system reduced the amount of synthetic SARS-CoV-2 in solution by more than 90%.”
“The Stanford team’s work is supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.”

“AstraZeneca has received $1.2 billion from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) toward development, production, and delivery of AZD1222 , the COVID-19 vaccine it is co-developing with the University of Oxford and its spinout company.”
“We would like to thank the U.S. and U.K. governments for their substantial support to accelerate the development and production of the vaccine….”
“AZD1222 has been developed by the University’s Jenner Institute, whose researchers last month partnered with colleagues from the University’s Oxford Vaccine Group….”
“AZD1222 uses a replication-deficient simian viral vector based on a weakened version of the adenovirus containing the genetic material of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. “
“After vaccination, the surface spike protein is produced, which primes the immune system to attack COVID-19 if it later infects the body.”
“The company said it expected total revenue to increase by “a high single-digit to a low double-digit” percentage, while core earnings per share was expected to increase by “a mid- to high-teens” percentage.”
It doesn’t matter whether you personally would take the vaccine or not .

Invisible Man
“Here, by drawing inspiration from the structures and functionalities of adaptive cephalopod skin cells, we design and engineer human cells that contain reconfigurable protein-based photonic architectures and, as a result, possess tunable transparency-changing and light-scattering capabilities.”
“Our findings may lead to the development of unique biophotonic tools for applications in materials science and bioengineering…..”
“In nature, adaptive transparency has been realized to some extent, with many cephalopods (i.e. octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish) demonstrating remarkable camouflage capabilities and even performing literal vanishing acts.”
“…..these animals can dynamically alter how their skin transmits, absorbs, and reflects light through the functionality of pigmented organs called chromatophores, typically narrowband-reflecting cells called iridophores, and broadband-reflecting cells called leucophores.”
“…..we designed human cells that would contain stimuli-responsive photonic architectures and, as a consequence, would possess the ability to change their appearance and transmission of light.”
“We began our studies by engineering human cells to produce large quantities of our squid protein.”
“We proceeded to study whether the expression of the squid protein modified our engineered human cell cultures’ interaction with light. “
“These experiments showed that the formation of disordered arrangements of reflectin-based structures within our cells’ interiors altered the way in which they reflected light.”
“…..our work introduces the concept of directly engineering the optical properties for living human cells via the incorporation of reflectin-based structures and lays the groundwork for the development of mammalian cells and organoids with other sophisticated cephalopod-inspired optical functionalities…..”
“……our findings may afford a variety of exciting opportunities and possibilities within the fields of biology, materials science, and bioengineering.”

Quantum Computing & Communications
Quantum CubeSats
“In a critical step toward creating a global quantum communications network, researchers have generated and detected quantum entanglement onboard a CubeSat nanosatellite weighing less than 2.6 kilograms and orbiting the Earth. “
“In the future, our system could be part of a global quantum network transmitting quantum signals to receivers on Earth or on other spacecraft….”
“These signals could be used to implement any type of quantum communications application, from quantum key distribution for extremely secure data transmission to quantum teleportation, where information is transferred by replicating the state of a quantum system from a distance.”
“….researchers demonstrate that their miniaturized source of quantum entanglement can operate successfully in space aboard a low-resource, cost-effective CubeSat that is smaller than a shoebox.”
“Progress toward a space-based global quantum network is happening at a fast pace…..”
“As a first step, the researchers needed to demonstrate that a miniaturized photon source for quantum entanglement could stay intact through the stresses of launch and operate successfully in the harsh environment of space within a satellite that can provide minimal energy.”
“The new miniaturized photon-pair source consists of a blue laser diode that shines on nonlinear crystals to create pairs of photons.”
“This is an important step toward a cost-effective approach to the deployment of satellite constellations that can serve global quantum networks.”
“The researchers are now working with RALSpace in the UK to design and build a quantum nanosatellite similar to SpooQy-1….”

Quantum Teleportation
“Quantum teleportation is an exquisite example of the power of quantum information transfer.”
“Teleportation has been demonstrated in many experimental quantum information processing platforms……”
“However, quantum teleportation has not previously been demonstrated in quantum-dot spin qubits. “
“Here, we overcome this challenge using a recently demonstrated technique to distribute entangled spin states via Heisenberg exchange.”
“Our teleportation method also leverages Pauli spin blockade, a unique feature of electrons in quantum dots, to generate and measure entangled pairs of spins.”
“This teleportation protocol is fully compatible with all gate-defined quantum-dot types, including Si quantum dots.”
“Our results also highlight the potential of exchange-coupled spin chains for quantum information transfer.”
“We envision that teleportation will be useful for the creation and manipulation of long-range entangled states…….”

Vortex Lasers
“Vortex lasers are named for the way light spirals around their axis of travel, thanks to a property known as orbital angular momentum, or OAM.”
“A beam of light that carries orbital angular momentum resembles a vortex, moving through space with a spiraling pattern like a corkscrew.”
“One promising feature of light under investigation has to do with momentum. Light has momentum, just like a physical item moving through space, even though it does not have mass. As such, when light shines on an object, it exerts a force.”
“Whereas the linear momentum of light exerts a push in the direction that light is moving, angular momentum of light exerts torque.”
“A potentially extraordinarily useful property of vortex beams is that they do not interfere with each other if they all possess different twisting patterns. This means a theoretically infinite number of vortex beams can get overlaid on top of each other to carry an unlimited number of data streams at the same time.”
“The scientists also plan on increasing the sensitivity of the detector to single photons so that it could serve in quantum communications and other quantum applications…….”

Artificial Intelligence – AI
Cultocracy note :
The article below describes how machine learning simulations are applied to scientific or engineering problems , in essence you are trying to predict a specific future outcome , be it a new chemical compound or a new wing for
a fighter jet .Simulations can be scaled up or down , in fact you could probably simulate anything , or even everything .
A surrogate model can be thought of as a simple interface between a complex artificial neural network (ANN) and the real world .
Or , as described by others , ‘a surrogate model is used to interpret machine learning predictions’ .
The paradox
You can have the most advanced machine learning system in the world , yet nobody can understand the AI simply because it is so advanced .
Further layers of AI and computing are leveraged in an attempt to interpret The Machine .
The entire system soon resembles a mountain of spaghetti .
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) can be considered as the home of big data and prediction .
Or should that be pre-crime ?
Or should that be profit ?
Are you a model or a surrogate ?
Volunteers need not apply .
Surrogate Models
“Neural networks have demonstrated remarkable success in predictive modeling.”
“Surrogate models supported by neural networks can perform as well, and in some ways better, than computationally expensive simulators and could lead to new insights in complicated physics problems……..”
“One major question we were dealing with was ‘how do we start using machine learning when you have a lot of different kinds of data?”
“We’re saying that deep learning can capture the important relationships between all these different data sources and give us a compact representation for all of them.”
“Simulations that would normally take a numerical simulator a half-hour to run could be done equally as well within a fraction of a second using neural networks….”
“In the future, deep learning models could elicit capabilities that didn’t exist before and provide a way for scientists to analyze the massive amounts of X-ray images, sensor data and other information………”
“This tool is providing us with a fundamentally different way of connecting simulations to experiments…….”
“We are surprisingly finding that you can produce very powerful emulators for the underlying complex simulations, and that’s where this becomes very important.”
“Because of its flexibility and accuracy, the model and its deep learning approach, referred to at LLNL as “cognitive simulation” or simply CogSim, is being applied to a number of other projects within the Laboratory and is transitioning over to programmatic work, including efforts in uncertainty quantification, weapons physics design, magnetic confinement fusion and other laser projects.”

Remote Control Cells
“The line between the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of the Body (IoB) just got a little blurrier.”
“In the IoB, networked devices include living cells…..”
“Now, suppose that such a device—one containing insulin-producing cells and an electronic control unit—is implanted in the body of a diabetic. As soon as the patient eats something and their blood sugar starts to rise, they use an app on their smartphone to trigger an electrical signal, or they rely on a preconfigured app to send the signal automatically, provided information about the meal was entered in advance. “
“A short while after the signal is sent, the cells release the necessary amount of insulin to regulate the patient’s blood sugar level.”
“A radio signal from outside the body activates the electronics in the implant, which then transmits electrical signals directly to the cells.”
“The electrical signals stimulate a special combination of calcium and potassium channels; in turn, this triggers a signaling cascade in the cell that controls the insulin gene.”
“…..electrogenetic applications may use electrical stimulation to directly influence the expression of voltage-dependent receptors in electrosensitive designer cells.”
“We’ve wanted to directly control gene expression using electricity for a long time; now we’ve finally succeeded,”
“Our implant could be connected to the cyber universe……”
“A device of this kind would enable people to be fully integrated into the digital world and become part of the Internet of Things—or even the Internet of the Body.”
Experts Weigh In on 5G
“Experts weigh in on recent online reports that warn of frightening health consequences from new fifth generation (5G) wireless networks.”
“Within current exposure limits, there appears to be little or no risk of adverse health effects related to radiofrequency (RF) exposure from 5G systems, concludes an evidence-based expert review in the June issue of Health Physics…..”
“While we acknowledge gaps in the scientific literature, particularly for exposures at millimeter-wave frequencies, [we judge] the likelihood of yet unknown health hazards at exposure levels within current limits to be very low, if they exist at all….”
“Tissue heating is the main potential harmful effect of exposure to RF fields.”
“The Committee acknowledges limitations of the current evidence on possible health and safety effects of 5G exposure and identifies key areas for further research, including high-quality studies of the biological effects of MMW.”
“While it is acknowledged that the scientific literature on MMW biological effect research is more limited than that for lower frequencies, we also note that it is of mixed quality and stress that future research should use appropriate precautions to enhance validity.”

“Rice University neuroengineers have created a tiny surgical implant that can electrically stimulate the brain and nervous system without using a battery or wired power supply.”
“The neural stimulator draws its power from magnetic energy and is about the size of a grain of rice.”
“The implant’s key ingredient is a thin film of “magnetoelectric” material that converts magnetic energy directly into an electrical voltage.”
“The method avoids the drawbacks of radio waves, ultrasound, light and even magnetic coils, all of which have been proposed for powering tiny wireless implants and have been shown to suffer from interference with living tissue or produce harmful amounts of heat.”

“Future technologies stemming from this device could function by responding directly to chemical signals from the brain.”
“The biohybrid artificial synapse consists of two soft polymer electrodes, separated by a trench filled with electrolyte solution – which plays the part of the synaptic cleft that separates communicating neurons in the brain.”
“It’s a demonstration that this communication melding chemistry and electricity is possible…..”

“DNA nanotechnology and bioengineering also came up with great promises in the advancements of molecular robots.”
” DNA-based well-designed and robust molecular machines like DNA walkers , nanomotors , switches , nanorobotic arm , etc. have been fabricated that can perform specific functions at nanoscale.”
“In these developments very small size of the molecular robots has been a big advantage since it enables creating a large number of robots and managing them to perform tasks coherently.”
“Allowing small individuals to interact with each other and produce a more complex, collective task, has been motivated by collective behavior of living organisms .“
“Three types of interactions such as attraction, repulsion, and alignment are worth to consider in the flocking exhibited by living organisms such as birds, fish, cells, and bacteria.”
“Swarming of chemically fueled self-propelled systems was regulated by manipulating their mutual interactions through chemical signaling, electrostatic forces, magnetic forces, or other forces…..”
“Three basic components are essential for constructing molecular robots: actuator, processor, and sensor . Actuator serves as the power generator for the molecular robots. Processor works as a mechanism for processing information by the robots. Sensors are required to detect information by the robots from their surroundings.”
“Among the many functional molecular parts, the biomolecular motors have been selected as the actuator for molecular robots. DNA has been used as the information processor, and photosensitive molecules such as azobenzene played the role of a sensor for the molecular robots.”
“Swarming of molecular robots was realized by utilizing the molecular recognition ability of DNA in controlling local interactions between molecular robots……”
“The size of robots has been scaled down from centimeters to nanometers, and the number of robots participating in swarming has been successfully increased from one thousand to millions.”

“In groundbreaking new research, mechanical engineers and computer scientists at the University of Minnesota have developed a 3D printing technique that uses motion capture technology, similar to that used in Hollywood movies, to print electronic sensors directly on organs that are expanding and contracting.”
“The researchers started in the lab with a balloon-like surface and a specialized 3D printer. They used motion capture tracking markers, much like those used in movies to create special effects, to help the 3D printer adapt its printing path to the expansion and contraction movements on the surface.”
“The researchers then moved on to an animal lung in the lab that was artificially inflated.”
“They were able to successfully print a soft hydrogel-based sensor directly on the surface.”
“The broader idea behind this research, is that this is a big step forward to the goal of combining 3D printing technology with surgical robots….”
“In the future, 3D printing will not be just about printing but instead be part of a larger autonomous robotic system. This could be important for diseases like COVID-19 where health care providers are at risk when treating patients.”

Laser Weather Forecasting
“News of Hurricane Irma dominated forecasts for days before it made landfall in the Caribbean and then the southeastern United States in September 2017…..”
“But how did forecasters get such a clear picture of what was coming? “
“One important tool in their arsenal was a sophisticated device called the Cross-Track Infrared Spectrometer (CrIS), which scans the atmosphere, from the ground all the way up, from a polar-orbiting satellite.”
“After the fact, recalls David Johnson, a scientist at Langley Research Center, analysis showed that prediction models without readings from satellite instruments such as CrIS showed the storm sputtering out in the Atlantic Ocean soon after forming.”
“But when they include the data from these sounders the models showed the hurricane intensifying and becoming a major storm — which is what actually happened. “
“CrIS is what’s called a Fourier Transform spectrometer. “
“Put simply, spectrometers observe a solid, liquid, or gas, and then measure which spectra of the light are emitted or absorbed.”
“To get the spectral measurements, the infrared emissions are first split and bounced between two mirrors…..”
“CrIS wouldn’t work without a laser metrology system….”
“The metrology laser for CrIS was built by a multinational company called ABB, based in Switzerland but with its U.S headquarters in Cary, North Carolina, as a subcontractor to L3Harris Technologies.”

Acoustic Electron Spin Control
“Electrons are very much at the mercy of magnetic fields, which scientists can manipulate to control the electrons and their angular momentum — i.e. their “spin.” “
“A Cornell team led by Greg Fuchs, assistant professor of applied and engineering physics in the College of Engineering, in 2013 invented a new way to exert this control by using acoustic waves…..”
“The finding was a boon for anyone looking to build quantum sensors of the sort used in mobile navigation devices.”
“You can use a magnetic field to drive these spin transitions, but a magnetic field is actually a very extended, big object,”
“In contrast, acoustic waves can be very confined.”
“In order to drive the electron spin transitions, Fuchs and Huiyao Chen ’20, the paper’s lead author, used nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, which are defects in the crystal lattice of a diamond.”
“There’s a significant effort nationwide to make highly stable magnetic field sensors with diamond NV centers,”
“People are already building these devices based on conventional magnetic resonance using magnetic antennas.”
“The research was supported by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Office of Naval Research.”

Brainsourcing
“Researchers have developed a technique, using artificial intelligence, to analyze opinions and draw conclusions using the brain activity of groups of people.“
“Crowdsourcing is a method to break up a more complex task into smaller tasks that can be distributed to large groups of people and solved individually.”
“Even the most advanced image recognition systems based on artificial intelligence are not yet fully automated.”
“Instead, training them requires the opinions of several people on the content of many sample images.”
“In the study, a total of 30 volunteers were shown images of human faces on a computer display. The participants were instructed to label the faces in their mind based on what was portrayed in the images.”
“Meanwhile, the brain activity of each participant was collected using electroencephalography (EEG).”
“From the EEGs, the AI algorithm learned to recognise images relevant to the task, such as when an image of a blond person appeared on-screen.”
“In the results of the experiment, the computer was able to interpret these mental labels directly from the EEG.”
“The findings can be utilised in various interfaces that combine brain and computer activity.”

Fear Conditioning
“Your brain handles a perceived threat differently depending on how close it is to you. If it’s far away, you engage more problem-solving areas of the brain. But up close, your animal instincts jump into action and there isn’t as much reasoning….”
“Clinically, people who develop PTSD are more likely to have experienced threats that invaded their personal space, assaults or rapes or witnessing a crime at a close distance. They’re the people that tend to develop this long-lasting threat memory…..”
“It’s like an IMAX experience,” LaBar said. “The threatening characters popped out of the screen and would either invade your personal space as you’re navigating this virtual world, or they were farther away.”
“On the first day of testing, subjects received a mild shock when the “threat avatar” appeared, either two feet away or 10 feet away, but not when they saw the safe avatar at the same distances.”
“Tellingly, the nearby threats that engaged the survival circuits also proved harder to extinguish after they no longer produced shocks.”
“Clinically, it’s a new interventional target.”
“If you can somehow get rid of that persistent threat representation in the cerebellum, you might be less likely to reinstate (the fear) later on.”
- Closer threats inspire a more primitive kind of fear
- Proximal threats promote enhanced acquisition and persistence of reactive fear-learning circuits

“The capacity to recall specific experiences, known as episodic memory, depends on the hippocampus.”
“This brain structure is unique in that its dentate gyrus (DG) exhibits neurogenesis that persists across the lifespan in mammals, including humans.”
“DG adult-born neurons (ABNs) provide a distinctive form of plasticity to the brain and may play an essential role in survival.”
“Temporally specific optogenetic silencing of ABN activity reveals the necessity of young ABNs in learning and memory retrieval.”
“In mammals, sleep occurs in cycles of rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep.”
“Each sleep stage is characterized by local and global synchronous neuronal activities that play critical roles in memory consolidation.”
“We found that contextual fear learning recruits a population of young ABNs that are reactivated during subsequent REM sleep.”

Toilet Paper Stockpilers Anally Retentive
“Following the fast spread of Covid-19 across Europe and North America in March 2020, many people started stockpiling commodities like toilet paper.”
“…..stockpiling toilet paper during the Covid-19 pandemic should be observed primarily among those who feel particularly threatened by the virus.”
“Finally, stockpiling toilet paper has also been interpreted in terms of classic psychoanalytic theory. In this line of reasoning, individuals with a marked pattern of orderliness and self-discipline, or an “anal-retentive personality” , are hypothesized to be particularly inclined to hoard toilet paper.”
“In order to examine individual differences underlying toilet paper consumption empirically, we attended to the HEXACO model of personality in the present study.”
“The HEXACO model is rooted in lexical studies of personality descriptors across various languages and organizes individual differences along six broad personality domains.”
“The three main findings of the current study are the following: First, the perceived threat of Covid-19 predicts toilet paper stockpiling.”
“Second, Emotionality predicts the perceived threat of Covid-19 and thereby indirectly affects stockpiling behavior.”
“Third, individuals high in Conscientiousness engage in more toilet paper stockpiling.”
“While it is important to communicate the severity of a pandemic and appeal to people’s compliance to necessary measures such as social distancing, communicators should be careful not to provoke panic that can eventually result in dysfunctional behavior such as stockpiling……”
“Meanwhile, the present study suggests that low anxiety and little desire to plan ahead are the best psychological protective factors to refrain from irrationally stockpiling limited resources in times of a health crisis.”

Kick the Cat
“…..we explore the mechanism through which supervisors’ ego depletion induces subordinates’ deviant behavior.”
““It is the way of the world, Baldrick. The abused always kick downwards. I am annoyed, and so I kick the cat, the cat pounces on the mouse, and finally, the mouse bites you on the behind.”“
“When the ego depletion state is transmitted from one person to another, it is highly possible to witness such interpersonal influence in that ego depletion of one person manifests its detrimental effect of inducing unethical behavior of other person.”
“Unethical behavior refers to actions that exhibit harmful effects on others and is “either illegal or morally unacceptable to the larger community” “
“Crossover literature has argued that several negative experiences, such as negative affect, depression, or emotion exhaustion, could be transmitted from leaders to their subordinates.”
“This newly developed serial crossover model demonstrates that depleted supervisors will exhibit abusive supervision , thereby depleting self-control resources of subordinates ; to protect their remaining resources, subordinates are reluctant to exercise self-regulation and are prone to impulsive behavior .”
Synthetic Biology
Ionic Man
“All biological systems, including animals and plants, communicate in a language of ions and small molecules…..“
“To narrow the gap between biological systems and artificial‐intelligence systems, bioinspired ion‐transport‐based sensory systems should be developed as successor of electronics, since they can emulate biological functionality more directly and communicate with biology seamlessly. “
“….it is difficult to realize a direct human‐computer interface (bioelectronic interface) without a transducer, since both sides speak “different languages.” “
“Specifically, biological systems contain numerous nanoscale ionic elements, which exist in the form of ion channels and ion pumps in cell membranes.”
“They work together to control the ion concentration gradients across cell membranes, enabling information encoding/decoding through action potentials.”
“Inspired by these biological ionic processes, the aim of artificial ionic sensors is to realize similar functions with ultrahigh sensitivity and operational stability, e.g., ionic artificial skin inspired by the mechanotransduction phenomenon.”
“Ion‐transport‐based processes can be applied for signal processing and information storage.”
“Development of an all‐ion‐transport‐based transistor will provide a unique opportunity for real‐time regulation/control of signals from living organisms. “
“The ionic interface is an ion‐transport‐based connection element that can act as an interfacing device between electronic and biological systems.”
“Song et al. described indirect ionic interface to control and manipulate the nervous system by the modulation of ion concentrations.”
“…..ionic interfaces, as defined above, are a powerful bridging module between external signals (including light signal, electrical signal, and thermal signal) and biological signals.”
“Once such bidirectional communication is reached, the real communication between artificial and biological intelligence should not be far away. “
“The ultimate goal is to construct an integrated ionic sensory system, able to realize seamless signal transduction between external stimuli, responsive artificial machines, and biological systems.”

Brain on a Chip
“MIT engineers have designed a “brain-on-a-chip,” smaller than a piece of confetti, that is made from tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses known as memristors — silicon-based components that mimic the information-transmitting synapses in the human brain.”
“Memristors, or memory transistors, are an essential element in neuromorphic computing. In a neuromorphic device, a memristor would serve as the transistor in a circuit, though its workings would more closely resemble a brain synapse — the junction between two neurons.”
“The synapse receives signals from one neuron, in the form of ions, and sends a corresponding signal to the next neuron.”
“In contrast, a memristor would work along a gradient, much like a synapse in the brain.
“The signal it produces would vary depending on the strength of the signal that it receives. “
“This would enable a single memristor to have many values, and therefore carry out a far wider range of operations than binary transistors.”

Nanoplastics Accumulating in Tissues
“Little is known about the behavior of nanoplastics in terrestrial environments, especially agricultural soils – says Baoshan Xing at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and colleagues in China.”
“Xing points out that nanoplastic particles can be as small as a protein or a virus.”
“Weathering and degradation change plastic’s physical and chemical properties and imparts surface charges, so environmental particles are different from the pristine polystyrene nanoplastics often used in the lab.”
“Nanoplastics reduced the total biomass of model plants, they were smaller and the roots were much shorter.”
“If you reduce the biomass, it’s not good for the plant, yield is down and the nutritional value of crops may be compromised.”
“Our findings provide direct evidence that nanoplastics can accumulate in plants, depending on their surface charge.”
“Plant accumulation of nanoplastics can have both direct ecological effects and implications for agricultural sustainability and food safety.”

Increasing research shows the detrimental health effects of many food additives .
Hence the constant attack on food labelling by corporate poison profiteers .
Sleep Deprivation and Death
“Harvard Medical School (HMS) neuroscientists have identified an unexpected, causal link between sleep deprivation and premature death.”
“In a study on sleep-deprived fruit flies, published in Cell on June 4, researchers found that death is always preceded by the accumulation of molecules known as reactive oxidative species (ROS) in the gut.”
“When fruit flies were given antioxidant compounds that neutralize and clear ROS from the gut, sleep-deprived flies remained active and had normal lifespans. “
“Additional experiments in mice confirmed that ROS accumulate in the gut when sleep is insufficient.”
“We were surprised to find it was the gut that plays a key role in causing death.”
“The guts of sleep-deprived flies had a dramatic buildup of ROS — highly reactive, oxygen-containing molecules that in large amounts can damage DNA and other components within cells, leading to cell death.”
“They tested dozens of compounds with antioxidant properties known to neutralize ROS and identified 11 that, when given as a food supplement, allowed sleep-deprived flies to have a normal or near-normal lifespan.”
“These compounds, such as melatonin, lipoic acid and NAD, were particularly effective at clearing ROS from the gut. “

More Blood and Guts
“A common food additive, recently banned in France but allowed in the U.S. and many other countries, was found to significantly alter gut microbiota in mice, causing inflammation in the colon and changes in protein expression in the liver, according to research led by a University of Massachusetts Amherst food scientist. “
“The study confirmed a strong linkage between foodborne titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) and adverse health effects.”
“Gut microbiota, which refers to the diverse and complex community of microorganisms in the gut, plays a vital role in human health.”
“An imbalance of gut microbiota has been associated with a range of health issues, including inflammatory bowel disease, obesity and cardiovascular disease.”
“Human exposure to foodborne TiO2 NPs comes primarily from a food additive known as E171….”
“The bigger particles won’t be absorbed easily, but the smaller ones could get into the tissues and accumulate somewhere….”
“The researchers found TiO2 NPs decreased cecal levels of short-chain fatty acids, which are essential for colon health, and increased pro-inflammatory immune cells and cytokines in the colon, indicating an inflammatory state.”
“The results support our hypothesis that including TiO2 NPs in the diet disrupts the homeostasis of the gut microbiota…..”

UK Covid “Experts” Cannot be Trusted
“The lead story in today’s France Soir – a long-respected and unaligned French daily – presents compelling evidence to suggest that the Whitehall/Cabinet Covid19 “advice” team cannot be trusted….and raises yet more doubts about BBC complicity in a false Coronavirus narrative.”
“The Government’s leading body for Covid19 drug trials – led by the controversial character Professor Peter Horby – stands accused of grossly misleading negative trial results for the coronavirus management drug Hydroxychloroqhine.”
“Professor Peter Horby is an epidemiologist, and the Professor of Emerging Infectious Diseases and Global Health at the University of Oxford. He chairs the UK government’s New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (NERVTAG). In addition, seven weeks ago he was charged with leading the ‘Recovery’ trial team into drugs for COVID-19.”
“Despite its constant refrain of being “led by the science”, the Johnson Cabinet is in reality being – dare I say it – deliberately misled by rather mediocre Second Division virologists and modellers acting (consciously or otherwise) as agents for Big Pharma.”

Walking Bad for Environment
“Walking and cycling have many benefits and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but researchers say we need to think about what people eat to fuel their walking and cycling.”
“Lead researcher Dr Anja Mizdrak from the University of Otago, Wellington, says producing the food required to fuel walking and cycling does come at a cost.”
“In a paper published in the international journal, Scientific Reports, the researchers say people who shift from passive modes of transport, such as driving, to active modes, such as walking, will have higher energy needs, which could lead to an increase in food-production related emissions.”
“Dr Cristina Cleghorn, a nutrition researcher at the University of Otago, Wellington, and co-author of the research paper, says reducing meat consumption and shifting diets away from processed food and towards more vegetables, legumes, whole grains and fruits are likely to have health and environmental co-benefits.”
- Walking to work is WORSE for environment than car sharing because it makes you eat more leading to higher greenhouse emissions, new study finds
- Fuelling walking and cycling: human powered locomotion is associated with non-negligible greenhouse gas emissions
- Fuel walking and cycling with low carbon diets, researchers say

It is titled :
‘The environmental co-benefits of complete non-locomotion and complete non-eating (especially meat) is associated with a complete reduction in greenhouse gas emissions , except for when you then die and are then completely cremated , non-negligably’

Moon Mining
“Plans to start mining the Moon as early as 2025 became more attractive this week after a US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) team found evidence that the Earth’s natural satellite may, underneath its surface, be richer in metals than previously thought.”
“The proposed global legal framework for mining on the moon, called the Artemis Accords, would be the latest effort to attract allies to the National Space Agency’s (NASA) plan to place humans and space stations on the celestial body within the next decade.”
“The country’s space agency NASA had previously outlined its long-term approach to lunar exploration, which includes setting up a “base camp” on the moon’s south pole. “
“Geologists, as well as emerging companies, such as US-based Planetary Resources, a firm pioneering the space mining industry, believe asteroids are packed with iron ore, nickel and precious metals at much higher concentrations than those found on Earth, making up a market valued in the trillions.”
