Microrobôs feitos de bolhas são ativados por raio laser. Robôs nem sempre são máquinas artificiais. Muitas vezes são estruturas prontas manejadas remotamente.

Microbots Made of Bubbles That Are Powered by Lasers

We’re used to thinking of robots as mechanical entities, but at very small scales, it sometimes becomes easier to use existing structures (like microorganisms that respond to magnetic fields or even swarms of bacteria) instead of trying to design and construct one (or lots) of teeny tiny artificial machines. Aaron Ohta’s lab at the University of Hawaii at Manoa has come up with a novel new way of creating non-mechanical microbots quite literally out of thin air, using robots made of bubbles with engines made of lasers.

Two wooden anatomical figures 17th century
A pair of models with removable chest and abdomen covers. Some religious restrictions on dissection were lifted in the 15th century, which led to the wider study of anatomy, using models like these as extra teaching aids. Both figures show the heart and lungs. One shows a pregnant female with a baby in the uterus, and the other the kidney and intestines in a male.

A economia dos centavos


A massa de riqueza criada e destruída pelo mercado financeiro vai ser transferida para o negócio da informação e da comunicação. Enquanto se discute o tamanho do rombo global, há um movimento microeconômico se desenvolvendo rápido. Em um futuro não muito distante, toda informação terá valor, será monetizada. A pirataria vai desaparecer porque perderá o sentido. E o preço médio da informação hoje cobrada vai cair. R$ 0,99 por uma faixa de música, como cobra a loja da Apple, ainda é um preço da sociedade industrial, um preço experimental. A faixa de música na nova economia vai custar R$ 0,01 talvez. As tranferências de informações e os cliques serão monetizados e contabilizados. Haverá uma invasão de centavos na economia. Todos os movimentos que hoje fazemos de graça na internet terão um preço ótimo, como baixar um arquivo de texto ou uma foto, mesmo que seja de um amigo ou parente. Podem apostar. O lastro de valor do sistema em que agora ingressamos está na informação e no conhecimento. Todo mundo sabe disso. Virou lugar comum dizer que entramos na sociedade da informação. E que estamos saindo da sociedade industrial. Vários caras cansaram de  falar disso. É óbvio que estamos na passagem de um tempo para o outro. Agora vamos entrar na economia dos centavos e dos serviços, onde tudo se cobra, onde todos os ambientes digitais estão ligados a meios de pagamento eletrônicos e caixas registradoras. Você pagaria 0,001 centavo por mensagem recebida no Twitter? E se você recebesse 0,001 centavo de cada um de seus seguidores por mensagem postada? Tudo vale alguns poucos centavos. E se cada palavra desse texto valesse 0,0001 centavo? Então, eu já teria embolsado 0,0333 centavo, por exemplo. Precisamos tangibilizar o texto, monetizá-lo e a riqueza imediatamente se multiplicará. O aumento de escala na venda de informações e a instantaneidade das transações comerciais vão criar um novo e gigantesco ambiente de negócios, que mal começou a se formar. Por Tomás de Matos (em 2008 ele já pensava nisso)

This is going to be fun to watch.
As a reminder, this is Google spending $12.5 billion in what, patents aside, seems like an awful deal.

“I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to poke my nose outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature? I can perfectly well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I’ve been here.
At Whitsun, for instance, when it was warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. Alas, the sacrifice was all in vain, as the moon gave far too much light and I didn’t dare risk opening a window. Another time, some months ago now, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the gale, the scudding clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face. After that evening my longing to see it again was greater than my fear of burglars, rats, and raids on the house. I went downstairs all by myself and looked outside through the windows in the kitchen and the private office. A lot of people are fond of nature, many sleep outdoors occasionally, and people in prisons and hospitals long for the day when they will be free to enjoy the beauties of nature, but few are so shut away and isolated from that which can be shared alike by rich and poor. It’s not imagination on my part when I say that to look up at the sky, the clouds the moon, and the stars makes me calm and patient. It’s a better medicine than either valerian or bromine; Mother Nature makes me humble and prepared to face every blow courageously.”
