New nanomaterial is 4 times harder than steel. And, at the same time 5 times lighter than steel.
The new material is the hollow glass fiber with DNA molecules inside that structure. Or as you see from the image. The glass fibers are on both sides of the DNA. DNA molecule is the thing, that involves the genetic code of the cells. Genetically engineered cells can make DNA, and those molecules can used as the nanomaterial's structures. DNA manipulation makes it possible to create new types of extremely strong materials. And those materials are stronger than steel and lighter than it. DNA molecules can act as nano-size springs.
And in some visions, genetically engineered cyborg cells like cyborg macrophages can make extremely long DNA molecules. And then they can just use those molecules as spears that can pierce wanted cells. Or those cyborg cells can also dumb targeted cells full of the DNA that terminates them immediately.
The DNA and nanotube combinations can also act as DNA-based supercomputers. And that kind of system controls the next-generation materials. That can have military and civil applications.
The next-generation supercomputer can be the DNA-based computer. That is like a tube network over the structures. That kind of system can cover the entire aircraft or any vehicle. In that system, the computer is integrated into the nanotubes.
That makes the layer strong. And that allows the computer to control things like nanolayers. That kind of DNA-based system can also handle the entire computing of the vehicles. And it can make an invisibility cloak possible. DNA-based computers can handle billions of simultaneous calculations. This makes them the ultimate tools for controlling the active nano-layers.
And if a system like an aircraft is shot down or captured by enemies. That computer can destroyed immediately by cutting the DNA with enzymes. Because the DNA is destroyed the computer code is impossible to restore.
The DNA molecules can also be in DNA-based computers. Genetically manipulated bacteria with artificial DNA are the tools that can make many complicated things. Researchers plan to modify bacteria to create fibrines. Those fibrines can be used to close veins that transfer blood to tumors. And cyborg bacteria can also fill targeted cells with fibrines. And that thing makes them the ultimate tool for surgery. Those bacteria can search and destroy wanted cells from the human body. And they can close blood leaks.
But DNA-based computers can also give a powerful "mind" for the nanomachines. The nanomachines have problems in that they should operate independently. And the robots that travel inside our body can do many complicated things if they use powerful computers. The DNA-based computing technology allows the microscopic powerful computers.
The ability to make synthetic DNA for nanomachines allows to creation of intelligent structures. Those intelligent structures can inform about damages. But they also can be used as computers. So that kind of technology makes it possible for researchers can combine computers with other structures. And that gives the idea that the next-generation people can live in computers because their house is a computer.
