offers advantages in efficiency, size, mass, and weight
reductions when compared with conventional machines. The impact
on energy production from alternative energy sources could be
substantial. In a new study from the Virginia Institute of
Science and the USGS, small sea creatures that are about the
size of a thumbtack help protect seagrasses and other sea life
