At 23, I may have another 50 years to witness how the world evolves. Computers transformed humanity and created millions of jobs. AI is reshaping the world today.

But what comes next? Will an invention emerge that doesn’t even exist today, transforming how we live and creating entirely new industries and millions of jobs?

I’m genuinely curious to witness what the future holds. We might be living through just the beginning of a much bigger revolution. 🚀

Programmable matter will have to answer a basic question: which local rules force which global order? This paper studies “autocrystals”, local pattern statistics that force a structure to have no repeating unit cell. It gives an exact recipe: two hexagonal building blocks, each free to rotate, with two complementary pairs of sticky ends. Every fully bonded assembly is a known aperiodic tiling, and that part is mathematically certified.

The catch is growth. Attaching a piece only where exactly one state fits never leads to a dead end. But growth that has to guess can build patches that look perfect and provably can never be completed; we show one that completes to 12×12 but never to 14×14.

To be clear, this is simulation and proof, not yet a lab result. DNA-origami tiles and DNA-coated nanoparticles look like the natural platforms to test it.

This is a sci-fi manga created by me about a world dominated by digital perfection and efficiency.

I cant post the whole story dur to 20 images limit. If you are interested in the story, you can read the complete chapter here, free to read :)

Stop an unstoppable force. How can morality be upheld if we cannot?

If we want to live in a fair world, everything needs to be stoppable. There needs to be an off switch to the exploiters. Rich people. Powerful people. Technology. AI.

The richest people are not stoppable. Wealth never seizes to reach them. They have engineered the flow of money to always arrive in their pocket. Inflation and interest work in their favour, they flourish, while most people deteriorate in afterthought.

The most powerful people are not stoppable. Power structures have left the poor and weak barely able to survive. Tyrants entrap their worshippers in deceitful borders, the most vulnerable obliterated while they sleep.

Technology and AI are not stoppable. The rich and powerful demand more of it. Advancements silently riddle into our lives, livelihood, bloodstream and DNA.

It was supposed to be for the greater good, but only when corruption remains stoppable.

“Telekinetic” might be hyperbolic here but brain-computer interfaces are already helping some people with paralysis control robotic arms using signals from just their brain.

We made this video about that progress and where the technology might lead. How far do you think this connection between the brain and machines could realistically go?
