The flying car made its first intercity flight in the Czech Republic. The flight took 35 minutes from the international airport in Nitra to the international airport in Bratislava on Jun. 28, 2021. Flying cars are low-cost aircraft that have the capacity also drive on highways. 

The idea of this kind of vehicle is not very new. The first idea of the winged cars that everybody can own and park in their garage was introduced after WWII. At that time technology was not at the level that this kind of vehicle is possible. 

The reason for that is that the engines and batteries were too heavy. And the turbine engines used too much fuel. Turbines are also noisy. And the noise is one thing that is slowing the creation of this type of vehicle. The electric power which uses batteries or fuel cells makes it possible to create lightweight, low-noise flying machines. 




By using modern battery technology is possible to make aerial vehicles that are using electric engines. Some start-ups are working with low-cost electric-powered aerial vehicles which can use for feeder traffic for the airports. But those electric vehicles can also use for rescue missions where people must take from the roofs of the building. 

They can also take hostage-rescue and other law enforcement teams to roofs. But in frontier rescue and military use, flying cars can drive straight out from the cargo planes. And that gives mobility to the operators. By using this kind of technology is possible to land the ambulance on the ground. Then the medical equipment will connect. 

And the flying car will fly the patient to the cargo bay of the VTOL aircraft. In the military world, the ability to land the vehicles without parachutes and fly them away makes noticing those operators more difficult than if they are using regular parachutes. The "flying jeep" must not flight 35 minutes for making the mission where it must jump over the ground and fly in the cargo door of the hovering V-22 "Osprey" type VTOL transporter.

The new bendable sensor is like straight from the SciFi movies.

"Researchers at Osaka University have developed a groundbreaking flexible optical sensor that works even when crumpled. Using carbon nanotube photodetectors and wireless Bluetooth technology, this sensor enables non-invasive analysis and holds promise for advancements in imaging, wearable technology, and soft robotics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, From Sci-Fi to Reality: Scientists Develop Unbreakable, Bendable Optical Sensor) The new sensor is like the net eye of bugs. But it's more accurate than any natural net eye. The system is based on flexible polymer film and nanotubes. The nanotubes let light travel through it. And then the film at the bottom of those tubes transforms that light into the image. This ultra-accurate CCD camera can see ultimate details in advanced materials. The new system can see the smallest deviation in the materials.  And that thing makes it possible to improve safety on those layers. The ability to see ultra-small differences on surf

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems.  When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

Humans should be at the center of AI development.

"Experts advocate for human-centered AI, urging the design of technology that supports and enriches human life, rather than forcing humans to adapt to it. A new book featuring fifty experts from over twelve countries and disciplines explores practical ways to implement human-centered AI, addressing risks and proposing solutions across various contexts." (ScitechDaily, 50 Global Experts Warn: We Must Stop Technology-Driven AI) The AI is the ultimate tool for handling things that behave is predictable. Things like planets' orbiting and other mechanical things that follow certain natural laws are easy things for the AI. The AI might feel human, it can have a certain accent. And that thing is not very hard to program.  It just requires the accent wordbook, and then AI can transform grammatically following text into text with a certain accent. Then the AI drives that data to the speech synthesizer. The accent mode follows the same rules as language translation programs. The ac
