A nuclear power plant in Southern California is being swarmed by legions of jellyfish-like creatures. CAN THEY BE STOPPED?
The US Navy has developed a robotic jellyfish nicknamed the Robojelly that’s powered by the water it swims through. So as long as there’s water in the oceans, it can perform search and rescue or exploration missions indefinitely.
Jellyfish invaded the cooling water at a Scottish nuclear power plant this week. There were so many of these aquatic creatures floating around, the plant had to shut down.
The AirJelly, a massive floating jellyfish created by the German automation masters at FESTO, should be terrifying, but it’s not. In fact, it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen take flight.
People have been twisting balloons into squeaky little animals for decades, but Willy Chyr’s work definitely marks an evolution in the craft. Instead of dogs and bunnies, he makes gigantic, science-inspired sculptures of jellyfish, neurons and zooids. Huh?
No, they’re not chewed-up pieces of gum, quit salivating. These are the world’s first transgenic prairie voles, which were injected with a jellyfish gene as embryos, resulting in glowing baby voles.
