With electrical signals, cells can organize themselves into complex societies and negotiate with other colonies.

" The goal of the APT program is to control and direct plant physiology to detect chemical, biological, radiological, and/or nuclear threats, as well as electromagnetic signals. " Now that is an advanced concept...

and look at this exceptional insight: "plants are easily deployed, self-powering, and ubiquitous in the environment, and the combination of these native abilities with specifically engineered sense-and-report traits will produce sensors occupying new and unique operational spaces" :-)

Let's hope these researchers remember to check their spam folder...

Beautiful interactive tree of life

A bit slow, but I finally could figure out the common ancestor of the nine-banded armadillo and the common ostrich!

Another win for the tea aquarium!

Oh yes!

for our new office?

Let's keep a eye on this... Animals use odor cues to navigate through their environments, helping them locate targets and assess danger. Much of how animal brains organize, read out, and respond to odor stimuli across spatial and temporal scales is not well understood. To tackle these questions, Odor2Action uses a highly interdisciplinary team science approach. Our work uses fruit fly, honeybee, and mouse models to determine how neural representations of odor are generated, reformatted, and translated to generate useful behaviors that guide how animals interact with their environment.

reminds me of the methan smelling source finding study we did ...

beautiful research, and fascinating how fast these polymers seem to self assemble at exit ...

beautiful paper

very relevant initiative and full of interesting questions

beautiful research

Brings back some memories... Enjoy!

indeed, I still have the bottle! don#t dare drinking it
