The Transhumanist Agenda Behind Bidens Executive Order on Advancing …

Story at a glance:

On Sept. 12, President Biden signed the Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure American Bioeconomy.

Specified in that order is the development of genetic engineering technologies and techniques to be able to write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way in which we write software and program computers, as well as genetic technologies to unlock the power of biological data using computing tools and artificial intelligence.

Additionally, obstacles for commercialization will be reduced so that innovative technologies and products can reach markets faster.

What we have here is, in a nutshell, the creation of a fast-tracked mRNA pipeline.

When, in June, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quietly implemented a Future Framework scheme to deliver reformulated COVID-19 boosters without additional testing, I predicted that this no testing required formula would spread beyond COVID-19 shots.

And, according to this executive order, thats exactly whats about to happen.

In early September, the FDA also put out medically false and misleading COVID-19 booster campaign messages that prove weve officially entered the era of transhumanism:

Its time to install that update! #UpdateYourAntibodies with a new #COVID19 booster.

Dont be shocked! You can now #RechargeYourImmunity with an updated #COVID19 booster.

Is this the death knell to allopathic medicine?

Historically, gene therapies have had to jump through extra hoops, which is why so few exist on the market. As of 2021, there were 20 gene therapies commercially available.

The worlds first gene therapy trial didnt begin until 1990, so this is still a very new field.

The entire gene therapy field actually collapsed overnight in 1999, when a teenage trial participant died from side effects.

An FDA investigation concluded research had moved too fast and that safety had not been put first.

Progress, thanks to increased caution, slowed from there on.

Such caution is now being thrown to the wind, and its not difficult to predict there will be disastrous ramifications.

Millions will die from poorly tested gene therapies and, eventually, medical research and allopathic medicine will both cease to exist, as survivors vow to have nothing to do with that murderous cabal ever again.

The only way they might be able to keep going is if they are in control of peoples brain function and/or able to force drugs under threat of death, or worse neither of which is impossible at this point, shockingly enough.

In the meantime, were looking at a cornucopia of mRNA shots coming our way.

mRNA flu shots are in the works

Not surprisingly, mRNA flu shots are in the works. While we probably wont see mRNA flu shots during the 2022/2023 winter season, theres every reason to expect theyll be rolled out next year.

On Sept. 14, Pfizer initiated a Phase 3 study, which will test a quadrivalent mRNA-based flu shot on 25,000 American adults.

Pfizer is also exploring mRNA technology that uses self-amplifying RNA for potential use in the future.

Moderna began its Phase 3 mRNA flu jab trial in early June. Its also working on mRNA shots for the respiratory syncytial virus and cytomegalovirus, which is in the herpes family, as well as a SARS-CoV-2-influenza combination shot.

Ultimately, Moderna wants to create an annual mRNA shot that covers all of the top 10 viruses that result in hospitalizations each year.

Its current flu jab candidate, mRNA-1010, encodes for the hemagglutinin, or HA, glycoproteins of four different influenza strains, including influenza A/H1N1, A/H3N2, influenza B/Yamagata and B/Victoria.

According to Moderna:

HA is a major influenza surface glycoprotein that is considered an important target to generate broad protection against influenza and is the primary target of currently available influenza vaccines.

The transhumanist agenda

Over the past three years, Ive written several articles exploring the transhumanist agenda, which all these mRNA shots and genetic technologies are part and parcel of.

Basically, the goal of the transhumanist movement is to transcend biology through technology and to meld human biology with technology and artificial intelligence.

In September 2020, I posted a video with Dr. Carrie Madej (below), in which she suggested we were standing at the crossroads of transhumanism, thanks to the fast-approaching release of mRNA COVID-19 shots.

Since these shots are designed to manipulate your biology, they have the potential to also alter the biology of the entire human race.

Nearly two years later, we still dont know the extent to which they might be doing that, yet more fast-tracked and untested gene therapies are on the way.

One reason why its important to know for certain whether synthetic RNA ends up creating permanent changes in the genome is because synthetic genes are patented.

If they cause permanent changes, humans will contain patented genes, and that brings up very serious questions, seeing how patents have owners and owners have patent rights.

U.S. defense department aims to create human cyborgs

The hydrogel used to preserve the mRNA can also contain nanobots to create a bioelectric interface capable of connecting to a smartphone or other interface.

Novel technologies that measure biological data, such as blood sugar, are based on this. Such technologies will, of course, have immediate ramifications for our privacy.

Who will collect and have access to all this data? Who will be responsible for protecting it? How will it be used?

Also, if your cellphone can receive information from your body, what information can your body receive from it, or from other sources? Could transmissions affect your mood? Your behavior? Your physical function? Your thoughts or memories?

So far, it doesnt appear as though the COVID-19 shots have these kinds of capabilities built-in, but we do know for a fact that militaries around the world are exploring and working toward such capabilities. In fact, its an arms race in its own right.

In his Sept. 14, Substack article, Human Cyborgs Are Just the Beginning, Dr. Robert Malone reviewed several of those plans.

Certain report titles alone tell the story, such as the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Biotechnologies for Health and Human Performance Councils report, Cyborg Soldier 2050: Human/Machine Fusion and the Implications for the Future of the DOD.

It doesnt leave a whole lot to the imagination, does it?

According to the assessment abstract:

The primary objective of this effort was to forecast and evaluate the military implications of machines that are physically integrated with the human body to augment and enhance human performance over the next 30 years.

This report summarizes this assessment and findings; identifies four potential military-use cases for new technologies in this area; and assesses their impact upon the DOD organizational structure, warfighter doctrine and tactics, and interoperability with U.S. allies and civil society.

Human augmentation technologies deemed technically feasible by 2050 at the latest include ocular enhancements to improve sight and situational awareness, optogenetic bodysuits to restore or improve muscular strength and control, auditory enhancements and neural enhancement of the brain for two-way data transfers and brain-to-brain communication.

Changing what it means to be human

In The Plan to Turn You Into a Genetically Edited Cyborg, I covered another shockingly dystopian report by the U.K. Ministry of Defense and the German Bundeswehr Office for Defense Planning, published in May 2021.

That report, Human Augmentation The Dawn of a New Paradigm, a Strategic Implications Project, reviews the scientific goals of the U.K. and German defense ministries, and they basically mirror that of the U.S. DOD.

On page 12 of the report, the concept of the human body as a platform is described, and how various parts of the human platform can be augmented.

For example:

They list several different ways to influence the physical, psychological and social performance of the human platform, including genetics (germ line and somatic modification), synthetic biology, invasive (internal) and noninvasive (external) brain interfaces, passive and powered exoskeletons, drugs and nanotechnology, neurostimulation, augmented reality technologies such as external holograms or glasses with built-in artificial intelligence and sensory augmentation technologies such as external sensors or implants.

As noted in this report, Human augmentation has the potential to change the meaning of what it means to be a human. This is precisely what Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has stated is the goal of The Fourth Industrial Revolution.

WEF has been at the center of global affairs for more than 40 years, and if you take the time to dive into WEFs Fourth Industrial Revolution material, you realize that its all about transhumanism.

Its about the merger of man and machine.

This is a dystopian future that WEF and its global allies are actively trying to implement, whether humanity at large agrees with it or not.

Importantly, the Human Augmentation report readily admits that human augmentation can directly enhance behavior.

And, if you think these reports are just brain fodder for geeks in uniforms, think again.

The U.K. Defense and Security Accelerator is currently, right now, accepting proposals for human augmentation technologies such as those listed above.

Grants of 70,000 euros ($74,000), will be given to proposals that can provide proof of concept.

Were already being programmed to accept transhumanism

Both the DODs Cyborg Soldier report and the British/German Human Augmentation reports discuss the fact that human augmentation will inevitably widen already existing disparities, inequalities and inequities, and therefore, efforts should be undertaken to reverse negative cultural narratives of enhancement technologies.

In other words, dont let people come to the conclusion that human cyborgs are a bad idea, because at worst that might prevent their development, and at best, itll pitch regular people against the augmented elite, making their efforts to rule the plebs more difficult.

As noted by Malone, Once again, we are being played before we even know what the playing field looks like.

Disturbingly, considering how nontransparent governments have been so far, its not inconceivable that technologies capable of influencing thoughts and behaviors would be used on populations without informing anyone, which makes the list of potential risks one takes with each new mRNA injection even longer than it already is.

But we dont need to be genetically re-engineered or have nanobots introduced into our brains to be at risk of outside manipulation. Thats already happening through noninvasive means.

Control capabilities go far beyond Orwells 1984 vision

In a November 2019 interview with CNN, history professor Yuval Noah Harari, a Klaus Schwab disciple, stated that humans are already hackable, meaning the technology exists by which a company or government can know you better than you know yourself, and this knowledge can be used for both good and ill.

According to Harari, the available capabilities already go far beyond Orwells 1984 authoritarian vision, and its only going to become more powerful from here.

He predicted that algorithms will increasingly be used to make decisions that historically have been made by humans, either yourself or someone else, including whether or not youll be hired for a particular job, whether youll be granted a loan, what scholastic curriculum you will follow and even whom you will marry.

To learn more about the larger issues of transhumanism and the race to merge man with machine and artificial intelligence, check out the Truthstream Media video below.

For example, there are even ongoing attempts to upload the human mind into the cloud, ultimately creating a form of digital hive mind where everyone communicates via Wi-Fi telepathy.

This, despite the fact we still do not fully understand what the mind actually is, or where its located.

Final thoughts

I dont know what it will take to prevent the dystopian post-human world envisioned by Schwab and his technocratic minions, but I suspect education would be a cornerstone of such an endeavor.

In order for there to be a resistance, enough people need to be aware of what the plan is, and where were actually being led with all these novel therapies and inventions.

In the shorter term, its crucial to realize that the fast-tracking of genetic engineering technologies and techniques to be able to write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way in which we write software and program computers means theyre going to cut corners.

Loads of them.

Testing is basically going to be done on the population at large, just as theyve done with the COVID-19 jabs.

The results of such experimentation are relatively predictable. People will be seriously injured and many will die.

So, think long and hard before you agree to take any of these forthcoming gene therapies.

IBM Quantum roadmap to build quantum-centric supercomputers | IBM …

Posted: at 11:32 pm

Two years ago, we issued our first draft of that map to take our first steps: our ambitious three-year plan to develop quantum computing technology, called our development roadmap. Since then, our exploration has revealed new discoveries, gaining us insights that have allowed us to refine that map and travel even further than wed planned. Today, were excited to present to you an update to that map: our plan to weave quantum processors, CPUs, and GPUs into a compute fabric capable of solving problems beyond the scope of classical resources alone.

Our goal is to build quantum-centric supercomputers. The quantum-centric supercomputer will incorporate quantum processors, classical processors, quantum communication networks, and classical networks, all working together to completely transform how we compute. In order to do so, we need to solve the challenge of scaling quantum processors, develop a runtime environment for providing quantum calculations with increased speed and quality, and introduce a serverless programming model to allow quantum and classical processors to work together frictionlessly.

But first: where did this journey begin? We put the first quantum computer on the cloud in 2016, and in 2017, we introduced an open source software development kit for programming these quantum computers, called Qiskit. We debuted the first integrated quantum computer system, called the IBM Quantum System One, in 2019, then in 2020 we released our development roadmap showing how we planned to mature quantum computers into a commercial technology.

As part of that roadmap, in 2021 we released our IBM Quantum broke the 100qubit processor barrier in 2021. Read more about Eagle.127-qubit IBM Quantum Eagle processor and launched Qiskit Runtime, a runtime environment of co-located classical systems and quantum systems built to support containerized execution of quantum circuits at speed and scale. The first version gave a In 2021, we demonstrated a 120x speedup in simulating molecules thanks to a host of improvements, including the ability to run quantum programs entirely on the cloud with Qiskit Runtime.120x speedup on a research-grade quantum workload. Earlier this year, we launched the Qiskit Runtime Services with primitives: pre-built programs that allow algorithm developers easy access to the outputs of quantum computations without requiring intricate understanding of the hardware.

Now, our updated map will show us the way forward.

In order to benefit from our world-leading hardware, we need to develop the software and infrastructure so that our users can take advantage of it. Different users have different needs and experiences, and we need to build tools for each persona: kernel developers, algorithm developers, and model developers.

For our kernel developers those who focus on making faster and better quantum circuits on real hardware well be delivering and maturing Qiskit Runtime. First, we will add dynamic circuits, which allow for feedback and feedforward of quantum measurements to change or steer the course of future operations. Dynamic circuits extend what the hardware can do by reducing circuit depth, by allowing for alternative models of constructing circuits, and by enabling parity checks of the fundamental operations at the heart of quantum error correction.

To continue to increase the speed of quantum programs in 2023, we plan to bring threads to the Qiskit Runtime, allowing us to operate parallelized quantum processors, including automatically distributing work that is trivially parallelizable. In 2024 and 2025, well introduce error mitigation and suppression techniques into Qiskit Runtime so that users can focus on improving the quality of the results obtained from quantum hardware. These techniques will help lay the groundwork for quantum error correction in the future.

However, we have work to do if we want quantum will find broader use, such as among our algorithm developers those who use quantum circuits within classical routines in order to make applications that demonstrate quantum advantage.

For our algorithm developers, well be maturing the Qiskit Runtime Services primitives. The unique power of quantum computers is their ability to generate non-classical probability distributions at their outputs. Consequently, much of quantum algorithm development is related to sampling from, or estimating properties of these distributions. The primitives are a collection of core functions to easily and efficiently work with these distributions.

Typically, algorithm developers require breaking problems into a series of smaller quantum and classical programs, with an orchestration layer to stitch the data streams together into an overall workflow. We call the infrastructure responsible for this stitching To bring value to our users, we need our programing model to fit seamlessly into their workflows, where they can focus on their code and not have to worry about the deployment and infrastructure. We need a serverless architecture.Quantum Serverless. Quantum Serverless centers around enabling flexible quantum-classical resource combinations without requiring developers to be hardware and infrastructure experts, while allocating just those computing resources a developer needs when they need them. In 2023, we plan to integrate Quantum Serverless into our core software stack in order to enable core functionality such as circuit knitting.

What is circuit knitting? Circuit knitting techniques break larger circuits into smaller pieces to run on a quantum computer, and then knit the results back together using a classical computer.

Earlier this year, we demonstrated a circuit knitting method called entanglement forging to double the size of the quantum systems we could address with the same number of qubits. However, circuit knitting requires that we can run lots of circuits split across quantum resources and orchestrated with classical resources. We think that parallelized quantum processors with classical communication will be able to bring about quantum advantage even sooner, and a recent paper suggests a path forward.

With all of these pieces in place, well soon have quantum computing ready for our model developers those who develop quantum applications to find solutions to complex problems in their specific domains. We think by next year, well begin prototyping quantum software applications for specific use cases. Well begin to define these services with our first test case machine learning working with partners to accelerate the path toward useful quantum software applications. By 2025, we think model developers will be able to explore quantum applications in machine learning, optimization, natural sciences, and beyond.

Of course, we know that central to quantum computing is the hardware that makes running quantum programs possible. We also know that a quantum computer capable of reaching its full potential could require hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of high-quality qubits, so we must figure out how to scale these processors up. With the 433-qubit Osprey processor and the 1,121-qubit Condor processors slated for release in 2022 and 2023, respectively we will test the limits of single-chip processors and controlling large-scale quantum systems integrated into the IBM Quantum System Two. But we dont plan to realize large-scale quantum computers on a giant chip. Instead, were developing ways to link processors together into a modular system capable of scaling without physics limitations.

To tackle scale, we are going to introduce three distinct approaches. First, in 2023, we are introducing Heron: a 133-qubit processor with control hardware that allows for real-time classical communication between separate processors, enabling the knitting techniques described above. The second approach is to extend the size of quantum processors by enabling multi-chip processors. Crossbill, a 408 qubit processor, will be made from three chips connected by chip-to-chip couplers that allow for a continuous realization of the heavy-hex lattices across multiple chips. The goal of this architecture is to make users feel as if theyre just using just one, larger processor.

Along with scaling through modular connection of multi-chip processors, in 2024, we also plan to introduce our third approach: quantum communication between processors to support quantum parallelization. We will introduce the 462-qubit Flamingo processor with a built-in quantum communication link, and then release a demonstration of this architecture by linking together at least three Flamingo processors into a 1,386-qubit system. We expect that this link will result in slower and lower-fidelity gates across processors. Our software needs to be aware of this architecture consideration in order for our users to best take advantage of this system.

Our learning about scale will bring all of these advances together in order to realize their full potential. So, in 2025, well introduce the Kookaburra processor. Kookaburra will be a 1,386 qubit multi-chip processor with a quantum communication link. As a demonstration, we will connect three Kookaburra chips into a 4,158-qubit system connected by quantum communication for our users.

The combination of these technologies classical parallelization, multi-chip quantum processors, and quantum parallelization gives us all the ingredients we need to scale our computers to wherever our roadmap takes. By 2025, we will have effectively removed the main boundaries in the way of scaling quantum processors up with modular quantum hardware and the accompanying control electronics and cryogenic infrastructure. Pushing modularity in both our software and our hardware will be key to achieving scales well ahead of our competitors, and were excited to deliver it to you.

Our updated roadmap takes us as far as 2025 but development wont stop there. By then, we will have removed some of the biggest roadblocks in the way of scaling quantum hardware, while developing the tools and techniques capable of integrating quantum into computing workflows. This sea change will be the equivalent of replacing paper maps with GPS satellites as we navigate into the quantum future.

This sea change will be the equivalent of replacing paper maps with GPS satellites.

We arent just thinking about quantum computers, though. Were trying to induce a paradigm shift in computing overall. For many years, CPU-centric supercomputers were societys processing workhorse, with IBM serving as a key developer of these systems. In the last few years, weve seen the emergence of AI-centric supercomputers, where CPUs and GPUs work together in giant systems to tackle AI-heavy workloads.

Now, IBM is ushering in the age of the quantum-centric supercomputer, where quantum resources QPUs will be woven together with CPUs and GPUs into a compute fabric. We think that the quantum-centric supercomputer will serve as an essential technology for those solving the toughest problems, those doing the most ground-breaking research, and those developing the most cutting-edge technology.

We may be on track, but exploring uncharted territory isnt easy. Were attempting to rewrite the rules of computing in just a few years. Following our roadmap will require us to solve some incredibly tough engineering and physics problems.

But were feeling pretty confident weve gotten this far, after all, with the new help of our world-leading team of researchers, the IBM Quantum Network, the Qiskit open source community, and our growing community of kernel, algorithm, and model developers. Were glad to have you all along for the ride as we continue onward.

Quantum Chemistry: Few fields will get value from quantum computing as quickly as chemistry. Even todays supercomputers struggle to model a single molecule in its full complexity. We study algorithms designed to do what those machines cant.

Feds Had Informants In Proud Boys And Oath Keepers For J6

Posted: at 11:29 pm

Authored by Julie Kelly via American Greatness,

If Republicans eke out a win in the House of Representativeswhich now seems likelyGOP leaders have promised to investigate numerous government scandals, including the irredeemably corrupt Federal Bureau of Investigation. One path of inquiry is how the bureau manufactures data to promote the phony narrative that domestic violent extremists, i.e., supporters of Donald Trump, pose a security threat to the country.

Whistleblowers recently disclosed how the FBI is misrepresenting the scale of domestic violent extremism nationwide by categorizing January 6th-related investigations as organic cases stemming from local field offices, instead of all related to one single incident, according to a report by GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee.

Shortly after the Capitol protest, FBI Director Christopher Wray designated the four-hour disturbance as an act of domestic terror; federal prosecutors routinely compare January 6 defendants to terrorists, enabling the government to seekand receiveextended jail time for misdemeanors convictions and justify indefinite pretrial detention for nonviolent offenders.

During his Senate testimony in March 2021, Wray described members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, two groups involved in the events of January 6, as militia violent extremists. When Senator Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) asked Wray whether he considered either group a domestic terror organization, the director refused to answer directly, instead insisting individuals associated with both groups are domestic terrorists.

Those comments alone should be fireable offenses. Set aside Wrays excuse-making for leftist riotersin 2020, Wray laughably refused to apply the same label to Antifa, calling it a movement or an ideology, not a terror organizationno evidence exists to support Wrays accusations that the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys mimic terror cells comparable to al Qaeda. Of the nearly two dozen members of both groups now facing charges tied to January 6, only one is accused of using a weapon (a riot shield) and it is alleged he used it to break a window, not harm a person, that afternoon.

Members of the Oath Keepers who drove to Washington to attend the presidents speech left their legally transported weapons at a Virginia hotel rather than violate the citys strict gun control laws. Worst militia ever.

And no one in either group carried a firearm into the building or on Capitol grounds.

But Wray, conveniently, left off another vital detail about these militias: the number of FBI confidential human sources embedded within them both before and during the Capitol protest.

Prior to the September start of the seditious conspiracy trial against members of the Oath Keepers, prosecutors finally disclosed that at least five FBI informants were embedded in the groups weeks and months before January 6. Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia handling over 900 January 6 cases, sought to prevent the jury from hearing about the informants activities or involvement in past investigations.

None testified as a witness for the government. But the defense wanted to call to the stand the vice president of the Oath Keepers, a man who worked directly with Stewart Rhodes, the founder and head of the group. Greg McWhirter is a former sheriffs deputy and current owner of a tactical shooting range and gun shop in Montana.

McWhirter also is an FBI informant.

According to a bombshell piece in the New York Times, McWhirter was secretly reporting to the F.B.I. about the groups activities in the weeks and months leading up to the Capitol attack. Reporter Alan Feuer further revealed that McWhirter had suffered a medical emergency boarding a plane to Washington to testify and required hospitalization. (Prosecutors asked the presiding judge to find out who leaked the information about McWhirters role, under court-ordered protective seal, to Feuer. Defense dropped him as a witness.)

Not only did McWhirter work for the FBI, he lured Oath Keepers to his remote business by offering discounts to buy guns and ammunition before the 2020 electionpresumably, at the behest of the FBI to produce evidence of a self-styled militia even though no crime was committed.

All of it reeks of the FBI-engineered plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, an entrapment scheme underway at the very same time the FBI utilized informants in the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers before January 6. In the Whitmer fednapping hoax, Dan Chappel, the lead informant, acted as the commanding officer of an imaginary militiarevealed during trial as a fabrication of the FBIto lure the FBIs targets into the trap.

Further, another Oath Keeper turned informant called the FBI tip line in November 2020 over fears the group planned to go to war with the United States government but investigators didnt contact him until March 2021.

But unlike the Whitmer fednapping plot where the FBI arrested their targets before any attempted kidnapping could occur, the FBI did not use any foreknowledge about possible violence on January 6 to prevent what happened that day despite connections to several informants. The question iswhy not?

The FBI also ran informants in the Proud Boys before January 6. Last year, Feuer revealed that the FBI embedded one informant in the group in July 2020; the informant was involved in the first breach of the restricted area. As scores of Proud Boys made their way, chanting and shouting, toward the Capitol on Jan. 6, one member of the far-right group was busy texting a real-time account of the march, Feuer reported in September 2021. The recipient was his F.B.I. handler. Another FBI informant was associated with a separate chapter of the Proud Boys that also participated in the events of January 6.

Now it appears that the FBI had multiple assets dispersed among the Proud Boys. A last-minute discovery dump last week by prosecutors includes at least 500 pages of possibly exculpatory evidence related to the FBIs confidential human source operation within the Proud Boys. (Jury selection for the first trial is scheduled to start December 12.)

The Times reported late Monday night that at least eight FBI informants were placed in the Proud Boys.

According to one defense motion, the Justice Department held this material for more than a year only to release heavily redacted versions of the pages one month before trial; one defense lawyer noted that even page numbers had been redacted.

Defense attorneys have now asked U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly to take action. Counsel for Zachary Rehl, a Proud Boy from Pennsylvania, asked Kelly to dismiss the indictment in this case and impose such other sanctions as are just and proper on the grounds that the government has violated Mr. Rehls rights to a fair trial and to the due process of law by failing to produce until this past week information favorable to Mr. Rehl that is material either to guilt or to punishment under Brady v. Maryland.

Even more outrageous is that Rehl and three of his co-defendants have been behind bars under pre-trial detention orders since early 2021; Kelly, a Trump appointee, has consented to their indefinite incarceration as the Justice Department plays last-minute games to either force plea agreements or delay trial once again.

Gamesmanship aside, its now evident the FBI infiltrated these two militia groups well in advance of January 6. So, only one of two explanations is possible: either the FBI hired lousy informants, all of whom failed to tell their handling agents that the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys planned to overthrow the government that day or, more likely, the FBI replicated the Whitmer fednappinginformants worked with supervising agents and FBI hierarchy to concoct another domestic terror attack to bolster Wrays unsubstantiated warnings about domestic violent extremists for political reasons. In other words, they wanted to sabotage Donald Trump.

In either case, where is the outrage among January 6 propagandists that the FBI, contrary to Wrays public assertions, had plenty of resources devoted to collecting intelligence about the Capitol protest? Why did Wrays surveillance operation fail so spectacularly? Who are the handling agents responsible for such widespread failure? Why havent heads rolled? Where is Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) calling for Wrays resignation?

That these questions remain unansweredand, more importantly, unaskedis a telling sign.

What Is Surrealism? | Artsy

Posted: at 11:28 pm

During the 1936 International Surrealist Exposition, held in London, guest speaker Salvador Dal addressed his audience costumed head-to-toe in an old-fashioned scuba suit, with two dogs on leashes in one hand and a billiard cue in the other. Mid-lecture, constrained by the scuba mask, the Spanish artist began to suffocate and flailed his arms for help. The audience, unfazed, assumed his gesticulations were all part of the performance. As art legend has it, the Surrealist poet David Gascoyne eventually rescued Dal, who upon recovery remarked, I just wanted to show that I was plunging deeply into the human mind. Dal then finished his speechand his accompanying slides, to no ones surprise, were all presented upside down.

This anecdote underscores the most absurdist, even clownish, elements of the Surrealist movement, epitomized by Dalwho was considered something of a joke figure by the early 20th-century art establishment. But the art movement was actually far more diverse than is widely known, spanning various disciplines, styles, and geographies from 1924 until its end in 1966.

Founded by the poet Andr Breton in Paris in 1924, Surrealism was an artistic and literary movement. It proposed that the Enlightenmentthe influential 17th- and 18th-century intellectual movement that championed reason and individualismhad suppressed the superior qualities of the irrational, unconscious mind. Surrealisms goal was to liberate thought, language, and human experience from the oppressive boundaries of rationalism.

Breton had studied medicine and psychiatry and was well-versed in the psychoanalytical writings of Sigmund Freud. He was particularly interested in the idea that the unconscious mindwhich produced dreamswas the source of artistic creativity. A devoted Marxist, Breton also intended Surrealism to be a revolutionary movement capable of unleashing the minds of the masses from the rational order of society. But how could they achieve this liberation of the human mind?

Automatism, a practice that is akin to free association or a stream of consciousness, gave the Surrealists the means to produce unconscious artwork.Surrealist artistAndr Massons mixed-media canvasBattle of Fishes(1926) is an early example of automatic painting. To begin, Masson took gessoa tacky substance typically used to prime supports for paintingand let it freely fall across the surface of his canvas. He then threw sand over it, letting the grains stick to the adhesive at random, and doodled and painted around the resulting forms. Artists employing automatic methods embraced the element of chance, often to surprising results. Massons end product features two prehistoric fish, jaws dripping with blood, fighting it out in the primordial ooze: an unconscious demonstration of the inherent violence of nature.

Not every Surrealist chose to create such abstract works, however. Many Surrealists recognized that the representation of a things actual appearance in the physical world might more effectively conjure associations for the viewer wherein a deeper, unconscious reality revealed itself. Artists like Dal and the Belgian painterRen Magrittecreated hyper-realistic, dreamlike visions that are windows into a strange world beyond waking life. MagrittesLa Clairvoyance(1936), for instance, in which an artist paints a bird in flight while he looks at an egg sitting atop a table, suggests a dreamscape or a hallucinatory state.

Though Surrealism is indeed most associated with such flamboyant and irreverent figures as Dal, Breton recruited a wide group of artists and intellectuals already active in Paris to write for and exhibit under his banner.

Building on the anti-rational tradition ofDada, Surrealism counted among its members such major Dada figures asTristan Tzara,Francis Picabia,Jean Arp,Max Ernst, andMarcel Duchamp. By 1924, this group was augmented by other artists and literary figures, including the writers Paul luard, Robert Desnos, Georges Bataille, and Antonin Artaud; the paintersJoan MirandYves Tanguy; the sculptorsAlberto GiacomettiandMeret Oppenheim; and the filmmakers Ren Clair,Jean Cocteau, and Luis Buuel.

But Breton was notoriously fickle about who he admitted to the movement, and he had a habit of excommunicating members who he felt no longer shared his particular view of Surrealism. Desnos and Masson, for example, were tossed out of the group via Bretons Second Manifesto of Surrealism in 1930 for their unwillingness to support his political aims. Bataille, whose Surrealist viewpoint differed considerably from Bretons, went on to form his own influential splinter group, the College of Sociology, which published journals and held exhibitions throughout the 1930s.

As an interwar movement beginning in Paris in the 1920s, Surrealism responded to a post-World War I period that saw the slow reconstruction of major French cities, the height of the French colonial empire abroad, and the rise of fascism across Europe.

By 1937, however, most of the major figures in Surrealism had been forced to leave Europe to escape Nazi persecution. Max ErnstsEurope After the RainII(194042) reflects this fraught moment with a post-apocalyptic vision created at the height of World War II. A partially abstract work formed by decalcomaniaa technique that entailed painting on glass, then pressing that painted glass to the canvas to allow chance elements to remainEurope After the Rainsuggests bombed-out buildings, the corpses of humans and animals, and eroded geological formations in the aftermath of a great cataclysm.

The emigration of Surrealists to various sites of refuge during World War II did, however, spread the movements influence across the Atlantic, where it would take firm root in the Americas. As Surrealism gained traction in the 1930s and 40s, it brought automatic practices and an interest in psychology and mythology to a new generation of artists.Jackson Pollocks Surrealist-inspiredGuardians of the Secret(1943) exists somewhere between his earlierSocial Realistworks and the later drip paintings that would make him famous: it includes a recumbent jackal, two totemic forms, and a frieze of calligraphic pseudo-script.

In Latin America, Surrealism found its voice in the work of artists likeFrida Kahlo, whose highly personal artistic style paralleled aspects of Surrealism without owing it any specific intellectual debt. InArbol de la Esperanza(1946), which translates to tree of hope, Kahlo doesnt depict an actual tree, but rather a dual self-portrait set in an unfamiliar landscape, a tableau that suggests both the 1925 bus accident that rendered her infertile, and the possibility of renewal. While its depiction of fantastic subject matter is reminiscent of works byMagritte or Dal, Kahlos painting celebrates the everyday artistry of traditional Mexicanex votopainting.

The psychological and mythological underpinnings of Surrealism also enabled non-European artistslikeWifredo Lam, a painter of Afro-Cuban and Chinese descent who studied in Madrid and Paris in the 1920s and 30sto delve into the native traditions of their own countries. LamsLes Noces(1947) intricately weaves the Cubist-Surrealist forms of artists likePablo Picassoand Joan Mir into a representation of the Afro-Cuban ritual Santera.

Surrealism represents a crucible of avant-garde ideas and techniques that contemporary artists are still using today, including the introduction of chance elements into works of art. These methods opened up a new mode of painterly practice pursued by theAbstract Expressionists. The element of chance has also proven integral to performance art, as in the unscriptedHappeningsof the 1950s, and even to computer art based on randomization. The Surrealist focus on dreams, psychoanalysis, and fantastic imagery has provided fodder fora number of artists working today, such asGlenn Brown, who has also directly appropriated Dals art in his own painting.

Surrealisms desire to break free of reason led it to question the most basic foundation of artistic production: the idea that art is the product of a single artists creative imagination. As an antidote to this, Breton promoted the cadavre exquis, or exquisite corpse, as a technique for collectively creating art, one that is still played as a game widely today. It involves starting a sentence, sketch, or collage, and then giving it to another person to continuewithout letting that person see what has already been written, drawn, or placed. The term derived from a simple game of creating collective prose that resulted in the sentence, The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.

Given the methods embrace of chance and tendency to produce humorous, absurd, or unsettling images, it soon became a viable technique for creating exactly the type of unconscious, collective work that the Surrealists sought. Exquisite Corpse 27 (ca. 2011), a work completed by Ghada Amer, Will Cotton, and Carry Leibowitz, is a contemporary example of the sort of stylistically and thematically disconnected work that can arise from this Surrealist method.

The historian and music critic Greil Marcus has gone so far as to characterize Surrealism as one chapter in a series of revolutionary attempts to liberate thought that stretches from the blasphemies of medieval heretics up to the 1960s and beyond. In this light, Surrealism can be understood as the progenitor of the later, Marx-inspired art movement Situationism, 1960s countercultural protests, and even punk: a project of breaking down the rational order that society imposes on individuals.

Iris flower data set – Wikipedia

Posted: at 11:23 pm

Statistics dataset

The Iris flower data set or Fisher's Iris data set is a multivariate data set used and made famous by the British statistician and biologist Ronald Fisher in his 1936 paper The use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems as an example of linear discriminant analysis.[1] It is sometimes called Anderson's Iris data set because Edgar Anderson collected the data to quantify the morphologic variation of Iris flowers of three related species.[2] Two of the three species were collected in the Gasp Peninsula "all from the same pasture, and picked on the same day and measured at the same time by the same person with the same apparatus".[3]

The data set consists of 50 samples from each of three species of Iris (Iris setosa, Iris virginica and Iris versicolor). Four features were measured from each sample: the length and the width of the sepals and petals, in centimeters. Based on the combination of these four features, Fisher developed a linear discriminant model to distinguish the species from each other. Fisher's paper was published in the Annals of Eugenics and includes discussion of the contained techniques' applications to the field of phrenology.[1]

Originally used as an example data set on which Fisher's linear discriminant analysis was applied, it became a typical test case for many statistical classification techniques in machine learning such as support vector machines.[5]

The use of this data set in cluster analysis however is not common, since the data set only contains two clusters with rather obvious separation. One of the clusters contains Iris setosa, while the other cluster contains both Iris virginica and Iris versicolor and is not separable without the species information Fisher used. This makes the data set a good example to explain the difference between supervised and unsupervised techniques in data mining: Fisher's linear discriminant model can only be obtained when the object species are known: class labels and clusters are not necessarily the same.[6]

Nevertheless, all three species of Iris are separable in the projection on the nonlinear and branching principal component.[7] The data set is approximated by the closest tree with some penalty for the excessive number of nodes, bending and stretching. Then the so-called "metro map" is constructed.[4] The data points are projected into the closest node. For each node the pie diagram of the projected points is prepared. The area of the pie is proportional to the number of the projected points. It is clear from the diagram (left) that the absolute majority of the samples of the different Iris species belong to the different nodes. Only a small fraction of Iris-virginica is mixed with Iris-versicolor (the mixed blue-green nodes in the diagram). Therefore, the three species of Iris (Iris setosa, Iris virginica and Iris versicolor) are separable by the unsupervising procedures of nonlinear principal component analysis. To discriminate them, it is sufficient just to select the corresponding nodes on the principal tree.

The dataset contains a set of 150 records under five attributes - sepal length, sepal width, petal length, petal width and species.

The iris data set is widely used as a beginner's dataset for machine learning purposes. The dataset is included in R base and Python in the machine learning library scikit-learn, so that users can access it without having to find a source for it.

Several versions of the dataset have been published.[8]

What is NanoTech? The Future of Nano Tech, How it Can Improve Your Life

Posted: at 11:22 pm

nanotech

Nanotech studies materials that are measured on a scale of nanometers. Materials made by nanotechnology are usually small enough to see with the naked eye and may be engineered into new shapes or substances.

So what exactly is Nano Technology? How can it make our lives easier? You might think of this technology as something out of the future or something you have read about elsewhere. However, Nano Technology is already a reality. It is being used in hospitals and other medical facilities across the globe. Were not talking about a future technology; we are talking about NanoTech, which is already being used by researchers and doctors worldwide today.

Nanotech refers to technology with a nanometer size. This means that the technology can be used to create products that are too small to see. The size of a nanotechnology-based product is so tiny that it could not be seen with the naked eye, but its properties are exceptional. The size of the technology is so small that it can travel through the bloodstream without any trouble. This technologys benefits include making products that would be impossible to make with current technologies. These products could be anything from a medical product to a new type of paint to an automobile.

Nanotechnology is a new branch of chemistry and engineering that deals with materials properties at the atomic scale. It involves designing and manufacturing materials and devices whose physical size is on the same scale as the atoms that compose them. In the early stages, nanotechnology was thought impossible because no methods could effectively measure objects at this scale. However, since the 1980s, there have been rapid advances in nanotechnology with significant breakthroughs such as the first atomic force microscope and atomic-level lithography. This is because nanotechnology has become possible through recent technological advances such as scanning tunneling microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, molecular imaging, and other technologies. In 2004, the National Science Foundation announced the formation of a National Nanotechnology Initiative, a research initiative to encourage scientists and engineers to use nanotechnology.

The worlds first genuinely nano-sized device was created by IBM researchers in 2009. Called a single-molecule transistor, this new technology could replace silicon transistors as the building blocks of electronic devices. As with all transistors, these devices aim to make electronic devices smaller and faster. But the IBM research team went further. They created transistors only a few atoms across. And they did this by using carbon nanotubes. These nanotubes are essentially tiny wires made from carbon atoms arranged in a cylinder. Like traditional transistors, IBMs transistors are made from semiconductors. But unlike conventional transistors, IBMs transistors are built from carbon atoms instead of silicon. Carbon atoms are much lighter than silicone, so their size can be shrunken to the atomic scale. Carbon nanotubes are so tiny that each nanotube can carry only one electron. But because they are so small, carbon nanotubes conduct electricity extremely well. IBMs transistors are called carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs). Because they are made from carbon atoms, CNTFETs are also called CNTs, short for carbon nanotubes.

Nanotech is an innovation that will be used in our daily lives. People will no longer need to carry a heavy smartphone or wear a bulky watch. Nanotech will give people much more freedom. For example, it can be used as a new memory card for your mobile device. It can also be implanted into the body. Nanotechnology will help us to communicate with others much better. We can talk to each other by sending text messages directly to peoples brains.

Nanotechnology is a new technology, the size of a virus, which will affect human health positively. Nanotech can help us in many ways, especially in the medical field, which can help people improve their life quality and help them live longer. Nanotechnology will not replace the existing medical tools, but it will complement them and make them better.

Nanotechnology is a new technology that has been used in manufacturing industries to make a variety of products. This new technology is essential to manufacturing industries as they can produce products with less energy and less cost than before. Nanotechnology can be found in many products, including textiles, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and electronics. For example, nanotech-enhanced textiles are much lighter than the same-sized fabrics without nanotechnology. Nanoparticles can be used to protect food from damage by light or oxygen during storage. With this new technology, food products can last longer and taste better. Also, it is easier for the pharmaceutical industry to design drugs that can be delivered quickly to targeted areas of the body, and the drugs will have fewer side effects.

Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating matter at the molecular level. This new technology allows us to make things smaller, faster, more efficient, and less expensive. For example, using nanotechnology, we can manipulate single molecules to produce a super-strong material with extraordinary properties. The development of nano-enabled products has incredibly impacted our daily lives. Nanotech products such as nano-sized fertilizers, nano-sized pesticides, and nano-sized seeds can help farmers increase crop yields, reduce the use of chemicals, improve soil quality and save water.

Nanotechnology will play an essential role in the future transportation industry. It may be used to help vehicles to navigate around obstacles on the road and to detect dangerous situations. There may be new cars that can fly, but they will not become available anytime soon. But the use of nanotechnology in the transportation industry is not limited to flying cars. There are many uses for this technology. For example, using nanotechnology may increase the fuel efficiency of vehicles by improving their aerodynamics and decreasing friction.

When you need to change a tire, your fingers touch the tire. So does your car. When you are driving, your fingers touch the steering wheel. Your car has sensors that register these touches. When a sensor registers a touch, it sends a message to the car to tell it to adjust its speed, its direction, or even its brakes. -If you can find out what happens when your fingers touch the steering wheel and the brake pedal, you can design your car with sensors that do the same.

The digital revolution brought about a new form of communication. People no longer have to go to the physical location to share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas with others. Today, an emerging new technology enables individuals to communicate electronically in real-time. This is known as nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is a sub-field of material science that deals with structures of matter ranging between 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanotechnologies involve the construction of electronic, mechanical, biological, optical, and chemical systems whose operation is based on quantum phenomena at dimensions between 0 and 100 nanometers.

Construction is a vast industry. It has been growing steadily in recent years, and its growth shows no signs of stopping. For example, if there is a problem with the roof, you could install a camera on top of the roof so that you can see everything happening below. This way, you would not have to send anyone to check up on the roof, and you would not have to worry about the problem. With nano-tech, there will be no need for screws or nails, which will cut down the time it will take to build the walls. This will also save money, which is another plus.

Nano-tech is the emerging new technology used in the medical, environmental, food, and security industries. Recent developments in nanotechnology and nanomaterials drive the Nano-tech revolution. Nanotech is one of the most critical areas of research and development in the 21st century. Nano-tech will be a huge economic driver.

Nanotech is a developing field, and its applications are varied. The potential for this science is enormous, yet there are still many unknowns. But that should not stop us from using it in our everyday lives. Here are some of the ways Nano-tech will change our lives.

Nanotechnology may be an up-and-coming technology for many of todays healthcare problems. This nanoscience and technology can potentially improve health care in many ways. In this presentation, we will show the role of nano in the medical industry by highlighting some of the latest developments in the field of health care. We will also talk about this technologys possible applications for future health care improvements.

What are the benefits of nanotechnology in the financial industry? Nanotechnology offers an innovative solution for the financial sector, which is increasingly dependent on high-frequency trading. Nanotechnology will positively change the financial sector because nanotechnology can provide the basis for a decentralized stock exchange. This is an important innovation because it allows users to have a new form of a stock exchange. Users can exchange their stocks directly with each other and make a profit.

Energy is the foundation for modern life. To address these issues, the energy sector needs to develop new technologies. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve the efficiency of fossil fuel use. In this way, it can reduce the cost of energy and meet the growing energy demand. In this video, I will introduce nanotechnology and discuss the challenges and opportunities it can bring to the energy sector.

Nanotechnology is any technology with an atomic dimension of 10-9 meters. One of the biggest challenges that nanotech will face is making it affordable for education. Nanotech can be very expensive because they require high-end manufacturing facilities. Another challenge would be making it accessible and more accessible to schools and other educational institutions.

Nanotechnology refers to developing and applying nanoscale devices, materials, structures, and systems with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. Nanotechnology can be used in the agricultural sector to increase the yield of crops. As new technology emerges, the farm sector is looking for ways to improve agricultural practices efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) launched the Nanotechnology for Agricultural Sector initiative in April 2006 to promote international cooperation in research, technology transfer, and capacity building to foster a global agricultural nanotechnology industry. This initiative has resulted in the development of an AgriNanoTech platform consisting of the following components:

NANOFAIR project, which will run from 2008 to 2011, will develop a standardized toolbox to support the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices based on nanotechnologies. This toolbox will cover the various areas of sustainability, including production, processing, consumption, and waste management. It will serve as a reference for establishing national action plans for nanotechnology in agriculture.

We are all familiar with using nanotechnology in various industries, including medicine, electronics, aerospace, defense, and automotive. However, nanotechnology is also becoming increasingly prevalent in the food and beverage sector. In another study conducted by researchers from the University of British Columbia, they successfully developed a way to prevent the spread of botulism toxin by coating the inside surface of a food packaging material with nanoparticles. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also taken an interest in this application and is currently examining the safety implications of using nanotechnology in the food and beverage sector.

There are many uses for nanotechnology in the sciences and technology sector. Nanotechnology may be used to create new types of batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, and computer chips. In this case, the nanoparticles may be able to make a brighter screen, a more efficient power source, or both.

Nanotechnology will affect every industry sector, including pharma. The new nanoscale technology will allow manufacturers to produce drugs at an even smaller scale and bring us closer to curing disease and aging. A single cell of bacteria is roughly 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Nanotechnology involves the use of materials at the atomic level. This new technology allows for manufacturing medical devices such as implants, catheters, sensors, drugs, and treatments. Nanotechnology can be used in the following ways:

Vivo: In vivo nanotechnology involves the creation of medical devices inside living organisms.

Vitro: In vitro, nanotechnology uses laboratory tools to create nanoscale materials and devices.

Situ: In situ nanotechnology uses small amounts of nanoparticles to create medical devices.

The field of nanotechnology is rapidly growing. The potential applications of nanotechnology include everything from creating better computer chips and more efficient solar panels to building new and better medical equipment, including medical scanners, imaging devices, implants, drug delivery systems, and even nanorobots for performing surgery.

Military researchers from a variety of countries are trying to build nanotech-based bombs. Researchers in Israel have created nano bombs that can detect explosives and other harmful chemicals. Researchers in Russia have developed a nanorobot that can be injected into a persons body and selectively targets tumors. Another project is underway to create a nanorobot that can deliver drugs directly to a persons brain.

Nanotechnology is an essential technology in todays society. With the help of nanotechnology, we can achieve several goals in different fields such as science, engineering, medicine, energy, agriculture, and the military. The first one is engine management systems.

Another example is vehicle paint which uses nanoparticles as colorants. The use of nanotechnology in automobile manufacturing will lead to lower costs and higher quality products. However, it is essential to remember that nanotechnology will have its downsides too.

Nanotechnology is one of the most advanced engineering fields in the 21st century, and it has applications ranging from medicine to transportation to consumer products. This includes nanoparticles, nanopowders, nanofibers, and nanotubes. New materials such as nanotubes and graphene will revolutionize the aerospace and aviation industries.

This paper presents the most recent advances in the field of nanotechnology applied to sports. In sports, nanotechnology may improve human performance by using nanodiamonds for weight reduction and to provide novel benefits, such as an increase in energy production and heat dissipation. Nanotechnology may also reduce the incidence of muscle injuries by improving the biomechanical properties of materials.

In conclusion, NanoTech is a new technology that is going to revolutionize the way we live. It is a powerful technology that will change how we live.

Adventures In Nanotech: Growing A Metallic Snowflake

Posted: at 11:22 pm

Eddie Gonzales Jr. MessageToEagle.com Scientists in New Zealand and Australia working at the level of atoms created something unexpected: tiny metallic snowflakes.

Whys that significant? Because coaxing individual atoms to cooperate is leading to a revolution in engineering and technology via nanomaterials. (And creating snowflakes is cool.)

This metallic snowflake is about 100 microns across, roughly the thickness of a human hair. Image source

Nanoscale structures (a nanometre is one billionth of a metre) can aid electronic manufacturing, make materials stronger yet lighter, or aid environmental clean-ups by binding to toxins.

To create metallic nanocrystals, New Zealand and Australian scientists have been experimenting with gallium,a soft, silvery metal which is used in semiconductors and, unusually, liquifies at just above room temperature.

Their results were just reported in the journal Science.

Professor Nicola Gaston and research fellow Dr Steph Lambie, both of Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, and Dr Krista Steenbergen of Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, collaborated with colleagues in Australia led by Professor Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh at the University of New South Wales.

The Australian team worked in the lab with nickel, copper, zinc, tin, platinum, bismuth, silver and aluminium. Metals were dissolved in gallium at high temperatures. Once cooled, the metallic crystals emerged while the gallium remained liquid.

Image source

The New Zealand team, part of the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, a national Centre of Research Excellence, carried out simulations of molecular dynamics to explain why differently shaped crystals emerge from different metals. (The governments Marsden Fund supported the research.)

What we are learning is that the structure of the liquid gallium is very important, says Gaston. Thats novel because we usually think of liquids as lacking structure or being only randomly structured.

Interactions between the atomistic structures of the different metals and the liquid gallium cause differently shaped crystals to emerge, the scientists showed.

The crystals included cubes, rods, hexagonal plates and the zinc snowflake shapes. The six-branched symmetry of zinc, with each atom surrounded by six neighbours at equivalent distances, accounts for the snowflake design.

In contrast to top-down approaches to forming nanostructure by cutting away material this bottom-up approaches relies on atoms self-assembling, says Gaston. This is how nature makes nanoparticles, and is both less wasteful and much more precise than top-down methods.

She says the research has opened up a new, unexplored pathway for metallic nanostructures. Theres also something very cool in creating a metallic snowflake!
