    I don't know if this applies to this group but - holy cow - it was fascinating! It relates to innovative technology and the human body so I thought I'd include it here. I love all forms of biology and this article talks about creating nanomachines to mimic what the protein molecules do in our bodies. Our cells are like mini machines in their functionality, can you imagine duplicating this with our muscles - only synthetically, with machines? This technology will lead to the development of artificial muscles! This is unbelievable and a bit scary at the same time.
