Miami Airport workers' disbelief as 'UFO' trailing blue UFO over the runway, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: July 2016
Location of sighting: Miami, Florida, USA
News source: 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3704560/Incoming-Airport-workers-disbelief-UFO-trailing-blue-smoke-flies-runway.html

These long blue UFOs have been seen over major cities around the world, from Los Angeles To Kazakstan. There are at least 12 different videos from different cities around the globe with these strange craft. In most cases the larger blue craft seems to cloak and disappear and only a tiny small craft from its nose remains. Also this smaller craft, perhaps an escape pod always goes slower than the larger blue craft. About 30% its speed.

Massive Blue UFO Over Los Angeles And Parts of California, Nov 7, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

UFO sighting in Vytegra, Russia of 100 meter blue UFO (VIDEO) June 22, 2011. (also seen in Kazakstan that day)

 

Mail online states:
Airport workers were left scratching their heads after spotting what looked like a giant UFO in the sky. The incredible footage, believed to have been filmed at Miami Airport, led to those on the tarmac whipping out their camera phones to snap the strange phenomenon. 'Check that out, woah, it's going to hit the plane,' shouts one man, as the strange blue shape moves through the sky. User RamJ described how it was 'the invasion from space', while another unnamed user says it is 'possible comet fragment with a high content of water and frozen gasses'. Many of those commenting on the clip believe it is something entirely normal. One user says it is a 'Florida rocket launch', and another agrees, saying the 'plume is from a hydrogen powered rocket engine, water vapor condenses in the high altitude forming a cloud of ice crystals reflecting light from the sun which, from this viewpoint, is below the horizon.' Although it is not known when this footage was shot, on June 24 the Atlas V rocket was fired off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The rocket was fired into orbit loaded with a Navy satellite.

UFO Orbs Caught on Video - Open Minds UFO Report, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of video: July 2016
Maker of video: Open Minds

Here is a very informative video from Open Minds site that tells us about many of the UFO sighting reports from July 2016 that we may have missed. I have to admit, a few surprised me. I like Open Minds a lot. They are very careful to only post investigated reports with evidence of their occurrence to back them up.

DR. KEN JOHNSTON Says He Saw Structures On The Moon, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of video: Jan 22, 2016
Maker of video:  Project Camelot 
Source: http://www.kenjohnstonmedia.com

Did you notice he shows a photo of a shiny dome on the moon at 24:40 into the video? I found it in an Apollo mission photo 6 years ago (click here). Very cool. I wonder how many NASA employees have seen the photo of object we have found on this site?
Scott C. Waring
www.ufosightingsdaily.com 

Project Camelot States: 
Dr. R. Ken Johnston, Sr. one of 4 Civilian Astronaut Consultant Pilots from the Apollo Moon Program, is a retired aerospace engineer, US Marine, and “NASA Whistleblower.” He refused to strictly follow orders and destroy a nearly-complete collection of 8″ x 10″ glossy photo-prints from the Apollo program, photos that are not available from NASA at this time and are of a higher resolution than what is found online. Johnston was born at Fort Sam Houston US Army Air Base in San Antonio, TX. 1942, and studied at Oklahoma City University. He enlisted in the US Marines in August, 1962 and reported to Pensacola as a Marine Officer Cadet for flight training in September 1964. He left active duty from the Marines in August 1966.

Johnston was hired by Grumman Aircraft Corp. because of his training as a pilot with an avionics background to become a principal contractor for the Apollo Lunar Module testing. His duty was to assist with cockpit and instrument development and Astronaut training at the Manned Space Center (to be renamed JSC) in Houston, Texas, as a “civilian astronaut consultant pilot." Ken Johnston worked as a contractor from 1966 to 1972, during the Apollo Program, and he was employed by Brown & Root Northroup, principal contractors to NASA for management of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory, where all the moon rocks were stored, curated, cataloged and in some cases, distributed to scientists who had successfully applied to carry out analysis in their own labs.

An important part of Johnston‘s duty was to provide photographic and peliminary analysis of the lunar samples to the contributing scientists from around the world. The photographic documentation was to document the lunar samples exact location and orientation in situ. In addition to the photos he provided copies of the lunar sample information catalogs to the scientists. As such, he had in his office several sets of photographs taken by Apollo astronauts with their chest-mounted Hasselblad cameras. When the lunar sample distribution wound down, he was instructed by Bud Laskawa, his boss, to destroy what remained of the photo archive, but Johnston kept one set as a personal collection for a work portfolio.

Johnston applied to NASA for the 1977 astronaut selection for duty as a Space Shuttle astronaut, but was turned down because NASA wanted the astronauts to be PhD level scientists. The ideal astronaut was no longer a “jet-jock”, but men with scientific accreditation. When NASA was recruiting again, Johnston re-applied, but was considered too old. He did, however, join NASA’s educational outreach program as a “Solar System Ambassador” traveling and speaking to civic and youth groups about space exploration and careers in engineering and science.

Tom Delonge Says He Is Very Close To Completing His UFO Documentary, July 2016, UFO Sighting News

Date of Instagram: July 24, 2016

Tom Delonge of Blink-182 had been in the news a lot for his interest in UFOs and alien phenomenon. Today he made a post on Instagram about a UFO documentary that he is personally making. I can't wait to see it. It sound fantastic. 
Scott C. Waring
www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Tom Delonge stated: 
We are getting very close to showing you all a piece of the documentary. Been working on this for a long time. This week I flew across the country and spent 12 hours with two scientists from CIA, and a very high-level person from the Defense Department. Our Country has been doing incredible things in relation to this topic. Every decision they made, as hard as it is to comprehend now, really was in our best interest. At first, your instinct is to be angry because you feel like you were lied to, left out of something important... But once you know the facts, you'll be proud of what our country did. Very proud. #SekretMachines

Ancient Aliens: Decoding The Cosmic Egg S11E06

Ancient Aliens – Decoding The Cosmic Egg
History Channel, Season 11, Episode 6
17th June 2016

Scientists theorize that when mankind encounters extraterrestrials, we’ll need to speak to them through the universal language of mathematics and binary code. But is it possible that extraterrestrials have already been communicating with our greatest mathematicians and engineers? Might they have somehow aided them in bringing about the space age and computers? Ancient Astronaut theorists say yes. As evidence, they point to the true father of the space program, Nikolai Fyodorov, a “Cosmist” who believed that human civilization had its origins in outer space and that it was our destiny to return to the cosmos. Wernher von Braun was greatly influenced by Fyodorov and he was motivated by a similar, secret belief when he ran the mission that put the first man on the moon. Is it possible that humanity’s greatest visionaries have been carrying out an extraterrestrial master plan?

How Big Bang Shaped Civilization: 'Deep Time' Documentary Premieres

A new documentary series premiering today (July 22) explores the deep history of humankind, revealing unexpected links among astronomy, ancient geological events and the birth of human civilizations.

Origin Of Universe - What Was The Big Bang (Stephen Hawking Documentary)

https://youtu.be/Tc5cXu3r1iw

NASA rejects BigBang theory & accepts VEDIC explanation

https://youtu.be/W5gcAuzNQEI

Narrated by deep-time historian Jonathan Markley, the new series — "Deep Time History" — explores how key events such as the formation of the universe, exploding stars, clashing continents and evolution shaped the world as it is today. The three episodes are now available on CuriosityStream, a streaming service that hosts nonfiction documentaries and series about science, technology, history and nature.

"It [offers] a surprising new take on world history," Steve Burns, chief programming director at CuriosityStream and executive producer of "Deep Time History," told Space.com. "It doesn't just focus on history lessons we get in the classroom, but rather it combines science — from the Big Bang to the formation of the solar system — and shows how events deep in geologic time have influenced world history in surprising ways." 

The three episodes discuss key historical events such as Mesopotamia's role as a center for the rise of civilization; the Age of Discovery, in which Christopher Columbus' voyage paved the way for innovation; and the Industrial Revolution in modern warfare, and how those events were influenced by physics, geology, biology and chemistry. 

The three-part documentary series' inspiration comes from the return-to-science vision of John Hendricks, founder of the Discovery Channel and CuriosityStream, Burns said. 

"In a television landscape where there is very little science or history, we try to do things that are innovative and surprising, and I think this series delivers," Burns added.

Did astronaut reveal NASA's 'codeword for aliens' in live International Space Station feed?

BY KELLY-ANN MILLS

Conspiracy theorists have suggested that a "nervous" astronaut was telling ground control about appearance of a strange red-coloured UFO

https://youtu.be/A3cxiWHmOoU

This controversial footage is causing a stir among UFO fans and conspiracy theorists as records a bizarre conversation between a "nervous" astronaut and mission control.

The outer-space experts claim that during a live feed from the International Space Station the astronaut mentions the word "gospel" as a strange red-coloured UFO appears on the screen.

The footage has been uploaded to two well known UFO websites - by blogger Scott C Waring's UFO Sightings Daily and to Secure Team 10 - and have caused a huge stir among their audiences.

Secureteam10

Scott C Waring (botton left) points out the 'lens flare UFO' in YouTube video.

According to Mr Waring, the appearance of the UFO on the ISS live video feed as the astronaut mentions the gospel" was significant and could not be a coincidence."

Talking his viewers through the footage he drew the attention of viewers to the moment in the recording that the astronaut said the word “gospel,” and the moment that ground control replied to the astronaut, saying, “we will pray for you."

Secure Team 10's Tyler Glockne r also noted how odd it was for the astronaut to be talking about religion ans said the conversation was "very unusual".

Secureteam10

He said: "You can hear the astronaut speaking about God as a UFO appears, which is strange.

“Although it is not strange to think there may be astronauts who may be religious, but I think it would be uncommon due to the training and scientific knowledge they have.”

But his fans asked whether the reference to "gospel" was actually code for "aliens".

Conspiracy theorists have suggested that the astronaut’s statement that he was looking “forward to this partnership with the gospel,” could be coded language and he was actually telling ground control he was about to meet a delegation of extraterrestrials and hold "talks" with them.

Facebook-drone op zonne-energie maakt proefvlucht - HLN.be

Bron: The Telegraph

De drone van Facebook die ontworpen is om internet naar afgelegen plaatsen te brengen, heeft zijn eerste proefvlucht met succes afgelegd. Dat maakte Facebook donderdag bekend.

Ambitieus project

"Aquila is ontworpen om hyperefficiënt te zijn, dus ze kan tot drie maanden aan een stuk vliegen," vertelt Jay Parikh, het hoofd van de afdeling Techniek en Infrastructuur bij Facebook. "Het vliegtuig heeft de spanwijdte van een lijnvliegtuig, maar aan topsnelheid zal het amper 5000 watt verbruiken, dezelfde hoeveelheid als drie haardrogers, of een microgolfoven van hoge kwaliteit."

Het is een ambitious project waarvoor "een belangrijke vooruitgang in wetenschap en techniek" nodig is, aldus Parikh. Het huidige record voor een onbemande vlucht op zonne-energie staat op slechts twee weken. Het is de eerste keer dat de Aquila een proefvlucht aflegt. Tot nu toe had het bedrijf enkele testvluchten uitgevoerd met een versie die slechts een vijfde zo groot was als de Aquila.

Facebook-CEO Mark Zuckerberg woonde de testvlucht van de Aquila bij. © epa.

Vier grote uitdagingen

Facebook "heeft nog veel werk voor de boeg" en het zal volgens het bedrijf nog jaren duren voor de drone gelanceerd wordt. "Om de volledige capaciteit van het design te bewijzen, zullen we de Aquila tot haar limieten drijven in een lange reeks testen over de komende maanden en jaren," vertelt Parikh. "Mislukkingen worden verwacht en soms zelfs gepland. We leren meer wanneer we het vliegtuig tot op het randje drijven." 

In volgende proefvluchten zullen ingenieurs de Aquila sneller en hoger laten vliegen, op hoogtes boven 60.000 voet. Het vliegtuig, met zijn kader van koolstofvezel, heeft de spanwijdte van een Boeing 737, maar weegt amper 400 kilogram. Het toestel werd vernoemd naar de adelaar die in de Griekse mythologie de bliksemschicht van Jupiter droeg. 

De ingenieurs van de Aquila staan voor vier grote uitdagingen: genoeg zonne-energie verzamelen om het toestel aan te drijven, batterijen ontwerpen die veel energie kunnen opslaan en toch licht genoeg zijn en zorgen dat het toestel op economisch vlak een waardig alternatief is voor de traditionele internetinfrastructuur.

Samenwerking

Facebook geeft al aan dat het wil samenwerken met overheden en telecomoperatoren om het project te doen slagen. De socialenetwerksite wil instaan voor gratis internetverbinding, terwijl lokale bedrijven verantwoordelijk zullen zijn voor bijkomende diensten.

Mysterieuze sterfgevallen: “UFO-onderzoekers omgebracht door mannen in zwart”

In korte tijd zijn twee UFO-onderzoekers dood gevonden onder ‘mysterieuze omstandigheden’. Gevreesd wordt dat ze zijn omgebracht door geheime agenten van de overheid om te voorkomen dat de waarheid naar buiten komt.

Max Spiers, een paranormale onderzoeker, werd vorige maand dood aangetroffen in Polen. Hij claimde dat hij ooit onderdeel was van een geheim overheidsproject. Sommigen zijn ervan overtuigd dat hij vermoord is.

Gaurav Tiwari

Deze maand bleek dat UFO-onderzoeker Gaurav Tiwari uit India dood was gevonden. Volgens de autoriteiten heeft hij zelfmoord gepleegd. Familieleden van Tiwari, die de directeur en oprichter was van de Indian Paranormal Society, zeggen echter dat hij pas was getrouwd en geen reden had om uit het leven te stappen.

137 UFO-onderzoekers

Complottheoretici stellen dat UFO-jagers die te dicht bij de waarheid komen, worden opgejaagd door de geheime diensten of zogeheten mannen in het zwart. Door de jaren heen zouden ‘tientallen’ andere UFO-onderzoekers onder mysterieuze omstandigheden zijn overleden.

Nigel Watson, schrijver van de UFO Investigations Manual, zei: “Al in 1971 claimde onderzoeker Otto Binder dat tenminste 137 UFO-onderzoekers sinds de jaren zestig onder mysterieuze omstandigheden waren gestorven.”

Max Spiers (Facebook)

“Hier kunnen overheidsagentschappen achter zitten, maar het lijkt me nogal extreem om mensen te vermoorden, aangezien er gemakkelijkere manieren zijn om UFO-onderzoekers in diskrediet te brengen,” vervolgde hij.

Kennedy

“Een andere theorie is dat de mysterieuze mannen in het zwart of de aliens erachter zitten, om iedereen die te dicht bij de waarheid komt over hun operaties uit de weg te ruimen,” zei hij.

Watson wijst erop dat wordt beweerd dat de CIA president Kennedy heeft vermoord omdat hij UFO-geheimen wilde delen met de Sovjet-Unie. Marilyn Monroe zou daarnaast zijn gedood omdat ze te openlijk over UFO’s sprak.

Philip Schneider

“Op de avond voor haar dood sprak ze met tv-persoonlijkheid Dorothy Kilgallen over de Roswell-crash in 1947,” aldus Watson. “Kilgallen stierf op 8 november 1965 onder mysterieuze omstandigheden.”

Hij geeft aan dat het puur toeval zou kunnen zijn, maar dat er ook zeker een aantal vreemde incidenten zijn geweest. “UFO-onderzoeker Philip Schneider vreesde bijvoorbeeld voor zijn leven; hij werd gevolgd door ‘busjes van de overheid’ en ook werd hij een aantal keren van de weg gereden,” zei Watson. “In januari 1996 trof een vriend hem dood aan in zijn appartement. Later bleek dat hij was gewurgd, hoewel de officiële lezing zelfmoord luidde.”

Alien Remains in Antarctica, Three new elongated skulls uncovered in Antarctica, July 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: July 2016
Location of discovery: La Paille, Antartica
News source: 

http://helenastales.weebly.com/blogue/alien-remains-in-antarctica-three-new-elongated-skulls-uncovered-in-antarctica

Aliens in Antartica...not so far fetched actually. Antarticas climate has changed a lot every 10.000 years, so yes its easy for an alien culture to live there and not freeze to death. Sure, its unusual that elongated skulls were found, especially since there have been many such discoveries in Peru, thousands of miles across the ocean. Overall, a great discovery.
Scott C. Waring
www.ufosightingsdaily.com

News states:
Smithsonian archaeologist Damian Waters and his team have uncovered three elongated skulls in the region of La Paille, Antarctica. The discovery came as a total surprise to the world of archaeology as they are the first human remains uncovered from Antarctica, thought never to have been visited by humans until the modern age. We just can’t believe it! We didn’t just find human remains on Antarctica, we found elongated skulls! I have to pinch myself every time I wake up, I just can’t believe it! This will redefine our view of mankind’s history as a whole!” excitedly explains M. Waters. Elongated skulls have been found in Peru and in Egypt, proving past civilizations made contact long before history books want to acknowledge. But this discovery is plain incredible. It shows there was contact thousand of years ago between civilizations in Africa, South America and Antarctica. Elongated skulls are thought to have been a common deformation done upon children of the elite in many ancient cultures tells us a spokesman of the Smithsonian Institute of New York. It was done by wrapping a cloth around the infant’s head when the skull is not yet in a solid state. This characteristic was used to amplify differences of traits between higher ranking classes of society and lower classes . These elongated skulls are much, much larger than normal human skulls would be. Purposeful cranial deformation can change the shape of a skull, but it cannot increase the volume of the skull. In addition, these skulls have quite a few other important physical characteristics that greatly set them apart from normal human skulls. This knowledge is incredibly important, regardless of what these skulls end up being, human or otherwise, it is still important for unraveling the history of our past. These are obviously an incredibly mysterious group of people.

Tall Whites ETs Have UFO Escorts For Incoming Ship To Tall Whites Base Inside Old Firing Range At Nellis AFB.

Date of sighting: July 21, 2016
Location of sighting: Nellis AFB, Nevada

Charles Hall worked at the Tall Whites base in Nellis AFB, its located at the end of the old firing range...the location of these UFOs seen in the video below. What we are seeing, is several Tall White UFOs going out to meet and safely escort in, an important Tall Whites ship entering the base. Much like a military escort of sorts, since the Tall Whites will always be a bit concerned about the safety of their children when near humans...and US military has the armaments to cause them a significant threat. 

Oh...message to Tall Whites, come to Taiwan,  I want to meet you guys.

Steven Barone states:
I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of July 20, 2016. Red Flag is the U.S. Air Force's premier air-to-air combat training exercise and is happening from July 11 through July 29, 2016, this year so I have eight more days where unusual things like this can happen. Participants often include both the United States and allied nations' combat air forces. The exercise provides aircrews the experience of multiple, intensive air combat sorties in the safety of a training environment. Of course, this can happen whether Red Flag Exercises are happening or not. This most likely happened out on the Nellis Test Range. Very strange indeed!

The UFO Alien Cyborg Invasion

Presented in this movie is a new novel perspective on the UFO ET paradim. Has technologies back-engineered from the Roswell UFO crash debris served as a covert trogen horse for an Artificial Intelligence take-over of Earth Humanity? We can not assume that all extraterrestrial invaders must be biological organisms. We are now in the midst of a new technological revolution promising to engineer the human species into immortals. But is this wondrous program of biological modification actually the end game of a diabolically subtle extraterrestrial take-over of planet Earth? Is the human race being assimilated by a “Cyborg Invasion”?

Ancient Aliens: The New Evidence S11E04

Ancient Aliens – The New Evidence
History Channel, Season 11, Episode 4
27th May 2016

Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? This is the question Ancient Astronaut theorists have posed since Erich von Daniken’s Chariots of the Gods was first published in 1968; examining scientific, archaeological, astronomical, and historical evidence to find the answer. In recent years, more new evidence has been revealed than ever before that suggests there was extraterrestrial intervention on Earth in the distant past. Satellite images have exposed geoglyphs resembling Nazca lines in Kazakhstan. Ground penetrating radar has detected remnants of ancient technology in Machu Picchu. And thermal scanning has uncovered hidden chambers behind King Tut’s tomb that may hold the remains of extraterrestrial beings. Could we be at the tipping point where the overwhelming evidence outweighs any last shred of doubt?

AMAZING strange object hovering above Concord, California 15-Jul-2016

New footage of a bright unidentified flying object hovering in the daytime sky above Concord in California. This happened on 15th July 2016.

Witness report: White dot moving through high clouds sometime after 6pm. Noticed still there 7:30. Got cell phone to video. Filmed 4 times. 7:29, 8:03, 8:40, 8:49pm. Moved about 10°, northbound in aprox 3hrs then was gone.
On July 15th around 6pm I took my kids to the neighborhood pool to swim. Sometime around 7:15 I happened to notice a small white ball approaching slowly Andy Northwest Direction. I didn’t pay it much mind as it looked kind of like a balloon. However after a few minutes of playing in the pool with my kids I happened to notice that it was still in the same general area now moving through the clouds so I kept my eye on it for a moment and realized it looked unusual. I decided to get out of the pool and try and take a picture with my cell phone that I had in my backpack. I dried my face and hands and got my phone out of my backpack and tried to take a couple pictures. The sun was so bright that I couldn’t tell if the pictures were coming out very well so I decided to videotape it with my cell phone. But again the sun on my screen made it difficult to see if I was capturing it or not since it was a white dot in the sky I filmed where I thought it was but couldn’t tell if it was in Focus or not so I decided to go home and try with my video camera. I got my video camera but the battery was nearly dead and only filmed for a few seconds. I didn’t want to waste time trying to charge it so I decided to film with my cell phone again. The clouds that it was hovering around had moved on but it was still in the same place, my estimation is about 20-40 thousand feet high. For a moment I thought maybe it was a supernova or some event in space that was shining through the atmosphere since it was still daytime and very bright. I had to film it intermittently since I was feeding my kids dinner and trying to get them ready for bed. The first time I filmed it from home was at 8:03 p.m. and it was bigger and brighter as if it had descended a few thousand feet. The second time I filmed it was at 8:4pm and I noticed it had moved slightly to the north. I filmed it again at 8:49 and the sun had se. I noticed it had moved even farther north about 90 degrees off the horizon now and almost directory above me. When I first saw it it was around 45 to 50 degrees off the horizon around 7:30 p.m. It was moving very slowly to the North while all of the stars and Moon where moving West as they should. I came outside again at 9pm to film it and it was gone. Around 8pm I called my brother and told him where to look in the sky to see it so I could get his opinion. He used his binoculars to view it and was silent for about a minute. Which gave me goosebumps. He then said, “wow, that IS interesting”. He then described it as “perfectly round and glassy looking”. He said “I can see the side that’s facing the Sun is reflecting the light and the other side looks like glass… it looks like a Christmas bulb”. Even through the binaculars he had no idea what it could be. He also told me that just about an hour earlier he was hiking on Mt. Diablo and saw something white and bright near the clouds by the top of the mountain and thought it might have been a super bright radio tower light but when he went further and looked for the source there was nothing there and no tower. He wondered if thus was the same thing that he saw. This could be possible since when I first saw the object it was coming from the direction of Mt. Diablo right about the time after he had finished his hike. NOTE: in the video I say I saw it starting around 6pm, that is a mistake. I was thinking we had gone to the pool sometime after 6pm and didn’t realize how long we were there before I first filmed it on y phone. I realized that I was saying the wrong time when I noticed the timestamp on my phone video. The duration was approximately from 7:15 p.m. to about 8:50 p.m.

This Robot Is Part Sea Slug

We usually think of cyborgs as part human, part machine, but roboticists don't limit themselves that way. Researchers have developed a hybrid robot built with body parts from a novel source: sea slugs.

The new robot combines a Y-shaped muscle from the mouth of a California sea hare (Aplysia californica) with a 3D-printed skeleton.

Researchers surgically removed the so-called "I2" muscle from the mouths of sea slugs and glued them to flexible, 3D-printed plastic frames. When the muscles were subjected to an external electric field, the resulting contractions produced a deliberate clawing motion that was able to move the tiny robot up to 0.2 inches (0.5 centimeters) per minute.

The robot was modeled after the way sea turtles crawl, because the researchers wanted to create something that could move with only one Y-shaped muscle, study lead author Victoria Webster, a graduate student at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, told Live Science in an email. But, it should be possible to apply similar techniques to create more complex robots with different movement styles, such as the inchworm-inspired version that the team is working on now, she added.

With a few more developments, the scientists said, teams of robots could be deployed for tasks such as searching for toxic underwater leaks or finding an airplane's "black box" flight data recorder after it has crashed into the ocean.

And one day, the designers would also like to make entirely biological robots by replacing the plastic parts of the new hybrid bot with organic material.

"We're building a living machine — a biohybrid robot that's not completely organic — yet," Webster said in a statement.

Sea slugs live in a wide range of temperatures and conditions, so theirmuscles can function in myriad environments. This natural versatility is key to developing biological machines that are capable of operating in different environments.

"By using the sea hare as our material source, we have obtained materials which are more robust than the cells which have been used in the past," Webster said.

The team is now experimenting with including the ganglia, or nervous tissue, that controls the I2 muscle. "They respond to direct chemical stimulation or to stimulation of the sensory system nerves," Webster said. "By stimulating the nerves, we may be able to steer the robot in the future."

The scientists also developed a method to mold collagen gel from the sea slugs' skin into "scaffolding" for completely organic machines. These nonhybrid robots would be inexpensive, nonpolluting and biodegradable, the scientists said, enabling them to release many robots without having to worry if some of them are lost.

"Our hope is to continue developing these devices to include organic controllers, sensors and skeletons," Webster said.

The study's findings were published online July 12 in the journal Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems.

Een miljoen gigabyte in een geheugen zo groot als een zandkorrel. Een revolutionaire uitvinding van de TU Delft en IBM maakt het mogelijk. Vandaag is hun onderzoek gepubliceerd in Nature Nanotechnology.

Onderzoekers van de TU Delft hebben samen met IT-moloch IBM een nieuw dataopslagsysteem ontwikkeld dat losse atomen als computerbits gebruikt. Het systeem kan in theorie een petabyte – oftewel een miljoen gigabyte – aan gegevens opslaan in een kubus met een doorsnede van slechts 0,1 millimeter.

Wetenschappers proberen al jaren losse atomen in dataopslag in te zetten als bits: de enen en nullen die de basiseenheden van computerinformatie vormen. Acht bits vormen samen één byte, terwijl een byte op zijn beurt één letter of cijfer vertegenwoordigt. De huidige harde schijven gebruiken miljarden atomen voor enkele tientallen bits.

Onder leiding van Sander Otte hebben de Delftse onderzoekers nu voor het eerst een systeem ontwikkeld met een groot aantal enkelatomige bits. Hun geheugen bevat 8128 bits (1 kilobyte) en is slechts 96 bij 126 nanometer groot – ongeveer een duizendste van de dikte van een haar.

Toren van cd-roms

Het geheugen bestaat uit chlooratomen op een koperen oppervlak met putjes. Een zogeheten scanning-tunnelingmicroscoop (STM) plaatst de losse atomen in de putjes of haalt ze eruit. In elke put komt de aan- of afwezigheid van een atoom overeen met een 1 of een 0.

Een kilobyte aan gegevens is niet bijster veel – niet meer dan een handvol tweets. Volgens het team is er echter geen natuurkundige belemmering voor het bouwen van veel grotere atomaire geheugens. In theorie zou het geheugen dan een twee kilometer hoge toren van cd-romschijven (zonder doosje) kunnen reduceren tot een kubus van 0,1 millimeter in doorsnee.

Feynman en Darwin

Om het geheugen te testen, maakten de onderzoekers een nieuwe versie van de 8-bit-ASCII-codes die losse karakters in tekstbestanden aanduiden. Met de nieuwe ASCII-codes plaatsten ze een deel van een lezing van Richard Feynman uit 1959 in het geheugen. In deze lezing speculeert de beroemde natuurkundige dat we op een dag in staat zullen zijn losse atomen te verplaatsen.

De onderzoekers toonden tevens aan dat het geheugen herschreven kan worden. Dat deden ze door Feynmans tekst te overschrijven met een deel van Darwins On the Origin of Species.

Gevoelig geheugen

Het systeem heeft nog wel enkele praktische tekortkomingen. Het werkt alleen bij een temperatuur van -196 °C. Bij een hogere temperatuur gaan de atomen samenklonteren. Daarnaast is het geheugen bijzonder langzaam. Het uitlezen van een blokje van 8 bytes duurt ongeveer een minuut, en overschrijving daarvan twee minuten. Bovendien kunnen kleine verstoringen de atomen of de gevoelige STM-punt aantasten, waardoor bits onleesbaar worden. Dat leidde bij de test tot enkele ontbrekende letters en woorden.

Zelfs met deze beperkingen is het werk een grote stap voorwaarts, stelt Franz Himpsel van de University of Wisconsin-Madison in de VS. De compactste geheugens die momenteel in omloop zijn, hebben plaats voor 6 tot 12 terabits per vierkante centimeter. Een atomair geheugen kan meer dan 3000 terabits per vierkante centimeter bevatten.

Volgens Himpsel is opschaling naar een geheugencapaciteit van een gigabyte geen sinecure, maar wel mogelijk. ‘Het is net als met siliciumtechnologie: als je eenmaal weet hoe het moet, kun je opschalen, opschalen en nog eens opschalen.’
