From Nanomaterials to Hydrovoltaic Intelligence

Human beings have experienced two scientific revolutions represented by Newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics. The former supports the technological revolution of mechanization and electrification; quantum mechanics, which was born at the beginning of the last century, revealed the peculiar laws of microscopic particles, especially electrons at the subatomic scale, beyond our daily experience and classical mechanics, causing the revolution of semiconductor information technology and The second quantum technology revolution, such as quantum computing and quantum communication, is currently taking place. At the nanoscale, the external effects such as force, electricity, magnetism, light, heat, etc. felt by matter are at the same energy scale as the local field of matter composed of electric charge, molecular orbital, electronic structure and electron spin state. There is strong coupling between the local fields. This nanoscale multi-field coupling makes the force-electricity-magnetism-optical-thermal coupling properties that only few materials have at the macroscale widely exist in general nanostructured systems, that is, nanomaterials have intrinsically intelligent properties. This opens up new avenues for novel functional devices and efficient energy conversion.

Just as water gave birth to life, when water and nanomaterials meet, the local fields of water molecules, ions, protons and nanomaterials will inevitably be coupled, resulting in new intelligent characteristics and energy conversion methods. In fact, the crystallization of natural wisdom, the brain, is a complex system composed of nano-materials in the water environment. It can not only perceive, regulate, and metabolize, but also generate advanced intelligence properties such as consciousness.

Based on our research work in the past 20 years, 1) describe the rich mechanical-electric-magnetic-optical-thermal coupling functional properties and the latest progress of nanomaterials; 2) introduce the multi-field coupling effect at the solid-liquid interface that occurs when nanomaterials encounter water , especially the hydroelectric effect and the latest developments in the case of hydroelectricity; 3) Combined with the sustainable development issues faced by human beings, put forward the basic scientific issues of hydroelectric energy, hydroelectric ecology, and hydroelectric intelligence to discuss with you.
