  4. fyeah-seacreatures: Immortal Jellyfish. By: h16nakaji Turritopsis nutricula, the immortal jellyfish, is a hydrozoan whose medusa, or jellyfish, form can revert to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature. It is the only known case of a metazoan capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary stage. It does this through the cell development process of trans-differentiation. Cell transdifferentiation is when the jellyfish “alters the differentiated state of the cell and transforms it into a new cell”. In this process the medusa of the immortal jellyfish is transformed into the polyps of a new polyp colony. First, the umbrella reverts itself and then the tentacles and mesoglea get resorbed. The reverted medusa then attaches itself to the substrate by the end that had been at the opposite end of the umbrella and starts giving rise to new polyps to form the new colony. Theoretically, this process can go on indefinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish biologically immortal.

  5. hamburgerjack:mothernaturenetwork: Scientists successfully generate gasoline out of thin airBreakthrough technology takes carbon, hydrogen and oxygen from CO2 and water in the air to create methanol and then converts it into gasoline. We’ll never hear about this again. And we may never hear from those scientists again. Amazing though.

  10. futuresoldierketchum: livetomakeadifference: 0ut-0f-f0cus: This is off the Bermuda Triangle,  where 16+ ships washed up on a sand bar. The mystery is still unsolved Actually the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been given a scientific explanation: methane vents which have been discovered in that region.  Methane reduces the density of water, causing ships that would normally float, to instead sink. Methane, when in gas form, messes with the electrical components of aircraft, causing them to fail and sometimes fall right out of the sky. Methane also causes the water to turn a ghostly greenish color, and the “ghost ships” reported to be seen are simply green reflections of the ships that scatter the bottom of the triangle. Fucking science, man. Bermuda Triangle is still freaky. Explained or unexplained. :P
