The researchers tested graphene’s ballistic missile defense by firing small projectiles at it. They found that the material was stiffer, more flexible and lighter than the Kevlar jackets used in the military today. And, a million layers of material would be only 1mm thick. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Soldier Nanotechnology Institute is working on an efficient manufacturing method for a graphene-based chainmail bulletproof armor, which could potentially give the military better protection than with today’s bulky coats. Chainmail (or mail or Maille) is armor made of metal rings joined together in a protective mesh pattern. Can be used for marines, especially those who have to work in harsh environments, bulletproof and protect against the risk of attack by wild animals when doing special missions. 2. Synthetic blood Synthetic blood is much more efficient than natural cells. The most promising technology being studied is a respirator – a theoretical red blood cell made of diamond that can hold gas at nearly 15,000 psi and exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen in the same way real blood cells. Supersoldiers whose breathing cells are mixed with their natural blood will essentially have trillions of miniature gas cylinders inside their bodies, which means they’ll never run out of breath and can stay under. water for hours without any other support equipment. 3. Jump 7 feet (2.13 meters) and run 25 mph (40.23km/h) Scientists at MIT and other research universities are looking to strengthen the human ankle and Achilles tendon with bio-boots that mimic the tendons of kangaroos. Humans equipped with such boots would be able to jump 7 feet (2.13 meters) or more, sprinting at incredible speeds. And run all day without muscle wear and tear. Bulletproof armor. 4. Vaccinations for pain relief DARPA’s Combat Persistence Initiative (short for Defense Advanced Projects Agency of the Pentagon, USA) aims to help soldiers recover almost immediately from injuries. The pain-relieving shot will work for 30 days and eliminate the painful inflammation that persists after the injury. So soldiers could feel the initial agony of being hit by a bullet, but the pain would disappear within seconds. Soldiers can self-medicate and continue fighting until medical evacuation. 5. Fight against sleep Not all animals sleep the same way. DARPA wanted to find a way to let humans sleep with only half of their brains at a time like whales and dolphins, or even skip sleep for long periods like ENU mice. 6. Telepathy Not all brain implants look very comfortable. US Patent Application Richard A. Normann. Part of DARPA’s “Brain Machine Interface” project is to develop better computer chips that can connect directly to the human brain via implants. In addition to allowing soldiers to control robots with just their thoughts, this will allow teams to communicate via telepathy. While the chips have improved, the project has some detractors. Part of the research is the ability to control mice remotely via implanted chips, and some defense scientists worry about the risk of the military having its mind hacked. For example, the movie “Men Who Stare Goats” is based on a book by Jon Ronson about a secret unit created by the US military in 1979. According to the book, the US military believes soldiers can become invisible, go through walls and kill goats by staring at them. Actor Ewan McGregor plays a reporter who stumbles across a member of that special unit as he prepares to go to Iraq, and the reporter and Lyn Cassady – Clooney’s character – continue the unfortunate journey : they were kidnapped, shot and hit by a roadside bomb… 7. Power-assisted underwear Meanwhile, Harvard researchers studied the “soft exoskeleton”. It’s a DARPA-funded robotic suit that’s essentially a series of fabric muscles worn under a garment to assist the wearer in every step or movement. This reduces fatigue and increases strength without requiring the enormous amount of strength that tough exoskeletons require. Gloves and climbing shoes like geckos. 8. Gloves and climbing shoes like geckos Geckos use the tiny hairs on their legs to cling to surfaces on a molecular level. Although the “Z-Man” project does not necessarily give humans the ability to crawl along the ceiling like a gecko, special climbing shoes and gloves will allow soldiers to easily climb the amazing rock face. against or onto skyscrapers without any other equipment, greatly reducing overhead attack. Researchers have made breakthroughs and can actually support a man weighing up to 90.71kg with current prototypes. Experts note that in the civilian field, work on nerve transplants for humans is happening very quickly. In 2017, Elon Musk unveiled a pig named Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in his brain, to demonstrate his ambitious plan to create an interface between the brain and the machine.

MIT has developed a new light-sensitive paint that makes it possible to quickly and easily change colors and textures. Moreover, this type of paint is not expensive. The gecko statue changes color thanks to paint researched by MIT. Photo: MIT. Called ChromoUpdate, MIT’s paint is applied to any product. This paint color is usually quite clean. But when placed under specific frequencies of light, it reveals the underlying pigments. Under UV light, the paint turns black. Within 60 seconds, UV can create gray-toned textures on painted surfaces, anything from printed text to hilly landscapes in high-resolution detail. These patterns continue to remain on the surface after the UV irradiation is stopped. In addition to the gray tone, MIT’s paint has a number of other colors such as CMY color group (green, magenta and yellow). These colors can be mixed together to create a paint that shows all 3 colors at once. To display colors, the researchers shined RGB (red, green, blue) light on the paint, converting the paint to colors that resemble the rays of the light falling on them. This process takes a period of 10 minutes or so for the vignettes to display the correct colors. According to Mr. Michael Wessely, postdoctoral fellow and project research leader, the use of color-changing paint has many benefits. Designers can check products quickly and change colors or textures in minutes. Place the UV projector close to the visible light projector and swivel base to support the object. Photo: MIT. From a broader perspective, Mr. Wessely imagines quickly projecting data onto everyday objects making smarthome systems “smarter” without the need for additional screens in the home. His team has proven they can print text and images right on a cup. For example, you can print a schedule on a cup of water or a reminder on a coffee cup to know when the next meeting is. Besides, people can refurbish their iPhone cases at any time. Instead of buying a new case, users can refresh the old case with their favorite images taken on the internet. According to the Fastcompany , while the color-changing cases are quite attractive, the work has a long way to go before it achieves success in consumer products. UV rays can be dangerous when in contact with the skin, which is why the MIT researchers used a special UV box to house the projector. In areas specializing in the production of color-changing cases, they are fully equipped with safe and convenient machines, so this is no longer a difficult challenge. However, for others, this option is quite expensive and cumbersome, so not many people will invest in this paint and hope to apply it to products such as bumpers, car covers, etc. The second problem is that these designs will fade over time, because UV rays are everywhere. Mr. Wessely said the paint can maintain color and contrast for about 2 days in an office environment, which is already away from the sun (which contains UV rays). If you take out the products that are coated with color-changing paint, it will significantly shorten the color fastness time. Color changing phone cases. Photo: MIT. While the idea of ​​painting a new design on an iPhone case or coffee cup will help with the problem of fading, this habit may be difficult for many people to maintain. Another more desirable aspect that Mr. Wessely’s team is working on is bringing color-changing paint technology to the fashion sector. They are developing fibers that can be re-woven into anything like clothing or shoes… with properties like light-sensitive dyes. This led Mr Wessely to believe that they could integrate tiny light bulbs into clothing that would make the wearer stand out. In this case, when the light is in close contact with the dye, the discoloration process is more efficient. “We can make the color change instantaneously, even under a second,” says Wessely. Besides, he said it is possible to use a coating that absorbs ultraviolet rays. Imagine a t-shirt that changes to a new slogan every hour, or a purse that changes color to match that day’s outfit. To create such a product, the team would have to create specialized yarns and a software that can put printed patterns onto textiles; This fabric can stretch and contour the human body. According to the Fastcompany , this idea is not easy to implement, partly because the field is relatively young. “Usually you have 10 years of studying something. But we are only just beginning to explore this new field,” said Wessely.

Here are the facts that many people believed absolutely, until they found out that they are just tricks of the Internet.

1. Can’t you park your car on Japanese streets?

Truth spread on the Internet and reality

Netizens around the world often show admiration for Japanese streets, that the streets here look great because there are no cars.

In fact, this is only partially true. In 1957, Japan enacted a ban on parking on the street. However, some roads in Japan have signs that allow parking. In other words, there will still be cars parked on the road in Japan.

It is quite interesting that if you want to buy a car in Japan, you need to prove to the local authorities that you have a place to park your car. Either your house has a place, or you have to rent a parking space for the same price as a small apartment.

1. Babies born on airplanes can fly anywhere, completely free of charge

Actually this is a quite complicated question, because each country will have different rules. In general, every child can hold 2 nationalities if born on an airplane. However, the problem lies in what second citizenship is.

Because the rules of each country are different, the second nationality can be from the country where the child was born, or belong to the country where the airline is carrying the baby, or depends on where you land or where you land. forward…

Some would argue that airlines would grant a lifetime free flight to a baby born on an airplane, but that’s not entirely true. Only a handful of African and Asian airlines allow it, most until the age of 21, or give away a few flights only.

1. The truth about the dog-shaped mountain

Netizens around the world used to be very interested in the photo of the mountain with a lying dog. But in fact, this is a photo that has been edited, and the author of the photo corrected it.

The real photo of the cliff looks quite ordinary, although it also looks a bit like a dog.

The photo went viral on the Internet (left) and the real photo (right).

1. Castle on the rock

Once again an edited work. The rock in the photo above is in Thailand’s Phang Nga National Park, while the castle is actually located in Germany.

1. Takes 7 years to digest if accidentally swallowed a piece of gum

This is one of the information that many people believe, that if you swallow gum, it will take you 7 years to digest it. The purpose of the sentence is to prevent children from swallowing candy, but it is not.

Gum is made from natural rubber, a sweetener and flavor. Particularly for the rubber part, the stomach will not be able to digest, but if swallowed it will sooner or later come out by another way – that is your toilet.

1. An elephant tree

I have seen it fake, but it turns out there are still many people who believe the photo above is real. Then the final affirmation: It is a photo that has been edited. Background in the picture is the garden in the city of Pristina (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), and below is the garden when there is no extreme fake elephant.

1. Decoding super virtual gecko transform video

The video above once caused a storm in the late 2020, with the content of a gecko changing color when climbing a pencil.

But looking at that, there is no such good gecko. The video was actually posted by an Instagram account since June 2020, and was explained by the owner that it was created using computer software.

In fact, many people believe that chameleons can change color to camouflage based on their surroundings. But actually, geckos change color based on … emotions, and that’s how they communicate with the outside world.

1. Canal flooded with flamingos in Venice

It is true that you can see flamingos in Italy, but not as many as in the photo above and not at that location. This is actually a creation by artist Kristina Makeeva, and Makeeva herself admits this is not a real photo.
