Programmable matter – Philosopher’s Stone of Moloch's Curse?
Prominent scientists and medics such as Dr Ana Mihalcea have been pointing at self-assembling micro-organisms present in the blood of the vaxxed and unvaxxed, possibly activated and controlled via 5G “instructions”.
I ran across “programmable matter” (PM) that may be directly related to what is being found in the blood.
Here’s a starter four-minute video from ten years ago that points to a future with PM.
Create Anything You Want With Programmable Matter (youtube.com)
“What if you could fax someone a real, three-dimensional object? The solution might come in the form of programmable matter - a material that takes on predetermined shapes and can change its configuration on demand. We’re already seeing early prototypes coming from Carnegie Mellon and Intel in the form of “claytronics”.
Here’s the Wiki page on PM:
Programmable matter - Wikipedia
And here’s another four-minute video from last year that starts off as if it is a feminine AI voice over oof the Wiki article!
“In this video, you will learn about programmable matter, a revolutionary concept that could change the way we interact with the physical world.
Programmable matter is matter that can change its shape, color, density, conductivity, or optical properties in a programmable way, based on user input or autonomous sensing.
Imagine if you could transform a chair into a table, a car into a plane, or a wall into a window, just by pressing a button or giving a voice command. That is the ultimate goal of programmable matter research.
You will also discover the history, approaches, challenges, and ethics of programmable matter.
You will see how scientists and engineers are working on different scales and mechanisms to create programmable matter, such as magnetized non-Newtonian fluid, claytronics, and quantum wellstone.
You will also learn about the potential applications and implications of programmable matter for various domains, such as entertainment, education, communication, and creativity.
Programmable matter is still an emerging field of research that faces many open questions and risks.
However, it also has the potential to become one of the most disruptive technologies of the future. “
Those refer to a “putty” of nanobots that can be made to take any form, acting on instructions. Makes you wonder if those istructios could be from an AI source!
I confess my mind drifted to the refenerating robot in the Terminator series – or whether such assemblies could be recoverable shells, bullets ad missiles!
All about caroms and claytronics!
Not just sci-fi: Claytronics | L'Atelier
“Commonly known as “programmable matter,” claytronics are distinctive from other technologies in the realm of “shape-shifting materials.”
Unlike self-folding robots, which rely on magnetic fields to move; or “active matters” that change form by reacting to energies (natural, like heat or moisture; or chemical reactions), claytronics are composed of millions of nano robots that respond to human command and allow the material to be shaped almost as if it were clay.”
Millions of nanobots!
Then there’s the “Quantum Well” – a theory that has been around since 1960.
“Quantum wells are formed in semiconductors by having a material, like gallium arsenide, sandwiched between two layers of a material with a wider bandgap, like aluminum arsenide. (Other examples: a layer of indium gallium nitride sandwiched between two layers of gallium nitride.) These structures can be grown by molecular beam epitaxy or chemical vapor deposition with control of the layer thickness down to monolayers.”
Semi-conductors are tiny these days – from 2022:
“IBM’s 2-Nanometer chip—a winner of Fast Company’s 2022 World Changing Ideas Awards—is equipped with 50 billion transistors, each smaller than a strand of DNA, and could potentially reduce the energy use of electronics by 75%”.
This from 2000 in Nature:
“The layering of doped silica in particular ways can trap conduction electrons in a membrane so thin that, from one face to the other, their behaviour as tiny quantum wave packets takes precedence over their behaviour as particles. This is called a 'quantum well'. From there, confining the electrons along a second dimension produces a 'quantum wire', and finally, with three dimensions, a 'quantum dot’.
The unique trait of a quantum dot, as opposed to any other electronic component, is that the electrons trapped in it will arrange themselves as though they were part of an atom, even though there's no atomic nucleus for them to surround. Which atom they emulate depends on the number of electrons and the exact geometry of the wells that confine them, and in fact where a normal atom is spherical, such 'designer atoms' can be turned into cubes, tetrahedra or any other shape, and filled with vastly more electrons than any real nucleus could support, to produce 'atoms' with properties that simply don't occur in nature.”
Dr Mihalcea refers to quantum dots – a lot!
Here’s a paper from a few months ago:
Programmable quantum emitter formation in silicon | Nature Communications
From the Abstract:
“… The Ci center is a telecom S-band emitter with promising optical and spin properties that consists of a single interstitial carbon atom in the silicon lattice. Density functional theory calculations show that the Ci center brightness is enhanced by several orders of magnitude in the presence of hydrogen. Fs-laser pulses locally affect the passivation or activation of quantum emitters with hydrogen for programmable formation of selected quantum emitters.”

Can We Program the Material World? | Scientific American
“Advances in computer-aided design (CAD) and materials science are now making such pipes feasible. Those same advances and the new form of design that they have made possible could yield a world of programmable matter—material objects capable of self-assembling, morphing into new shapes or changing properties on command.”
Who knows where thigs are today or what was available in 2019/2020 – or where things will be in ten years!
Onwards!!!
