Inventions

Scientists are like the average male; they like tinkering with things. While the
average male likes tinkering with himself, scientists like tinkering with DNA,
matter and the very fabric of space and time. Behold their abominable
scientific inventions:

Exploding Bacteria
Scientists working in the field of synthetic biology have thought up a new way to cure diseases…
except by “thought up” I mean they’ve been watching Michael Bay’s Transformers movies and
seeing how everything explodes.
The scientists have created an Escherichia coli cell which – upon contact with certain pathogens
– literally explodes, killing both the pathogen and itself.
You heard me: scientists have thought of a way to cure you with explosions. Speaking of wacky
cures…

2. Anti-Malaria Mosquitoes
After having a sip from the irony cup, US scientists have decided that
the best way to cure malaria and dengue fever is with mosquitoes.
By genetically modifying mosquitos that live longer and are naturally
resistant to malaria, scientists hope to stop its spread and eventually
eradicate it. Science conqures all.

3. Bomb-Detecting Plants
Scientists, after getting bored with things like bees and mice, have been
trying to alter plants so that they can search for bombs.
Dr. Jane Medford is developing plants that will turn white when exposed
to explosive and environmental pollutants. And they said Poison Ivy was
too unrealistic for the Dark Knight series…

Yale University scientists have performed the first artificial selection on a structural color, using
butterfly wings. This image shows a male Bicyclus anynana butterfly Yale University scientists
have chosen the most fleeting of mediums for their groundbreaking work on biomimicry:
They've changed the color of butterfly wings.
Flores bones show features of Down
syndrome, not a new 'hobbit' human
Biology August 5, 2014 05:36 AM
LB1 is shown in three different views to illustrate facial asymmetry. In October 2004, excavation
of fragmentary skeletal remains from the island of Flores in Indonesia yielded what was called
"the most important find in human evolution for 100 years." Its discoverers dubbed the find
Homo floresiensis, a name suggesting a previously unknown species of human.
