Can You Believe All This Food Is Actually Jelly?

I really wish that this was my breakfast today. Sure, you may think it looks ordinary – eggs, pancakes, doughnuts, coffee – but it’s actually made entirely from jelly. Unbelievable, right?

Would You Eat Jello Made From Humans?

I have an on/off relationship with gelatin as is, but human-derived gelatin? Ugh, someone pass me the agar-agar, please. Scientists are exploring this closer-to-home substitute to rule out possible infections carried from the animals the gelling agent is made from.

Test Yourself For Acute Pancreatitis With Foil And Jelly

Testing for acute pancreatitis can take a while, which can be problematic. Brian Zaccheo, a student from the University of Texas, knows this. That’s why he created this crazy sensor for under a buck – from aluminium foil, gelatin, milk protein and a cheap LED light – that spots the condition in less than an hour.

Jelly Wobbler Machine Excites Me In A Weird Way

I don’t know why inventor Nik Ramage created the Jelly Wobbler. I don’t know why would you need to do the wobbling with the jelly in the first place. And I didn’t know that weird mechanical contraptions and jelly could be so erotic until now.

Jelloware Cups Transform Picnics Into Hot, Sticky Messes

Good idea: tossing plastic cups for disposable, edible ones made out of agar agar, in flavours like lemon-basil and ginger-mint that can be tossed in the grass afterward. Bad idea: using them outside right now. [thewayweseetheworld via Treehugger via PSFK]

AquaJelly and AirJelly Robot Jellyfish At Home In the Water or the Sky

Festo, the same company that brought us the Air Ray robot last year, have developed yet another graceful robot inspired by a creature of the sea. In fact, they have developed two versions, both based on the common jellyfish: the AquaJelly and the AirJelly. According to Festo, the AquaJelly is “an artificial autonomous jellyfish with an electric drive and an intelligent, adaptive mechanical system.” Apparently the idea is to have several of the robots autonomously working together using a communication system comprised of Zigbee short-range radio on the surface and LEDs when underwater.
