Moving On Up: Lifelike Spontaneous Motion Seen In Lab Created
GelBrandeis University researchers have created an organic gel
that, despite being lifeless, seems to move of its own volition.
While the movements are too small to be seen with the naked eye,
when viewed under a microscope, microtubules in the gel flow of
their own accord, moving like living cells viewed on a slide.
You can take a look at the surprisingly soothing motion of this
groundbreaking goo after the break.Read on... Study: Emperor
Penguins Do The Wave Taking turns seems like an easy enough
concept (though lets be honest, it's not.) But for the thousands
of Emperor Penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) that call
Antarctica's vast ice sheets home, taking turns to stay warm is
a highly complex affair. A team of researchers, led in part by
scientists from the Department of Physics at the University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany, set up a time lapse camera to
track the movements of a pack of penguins near the Neumayer
Antarctic Research Station. W
