Animation of MarkIII(k), one of the molecular machines designed by K. Erik Drexler and Nanorex, Inc., categorized as “nanoscale planetary gear.”

Working on a post about a molecular machine that has the potential to change the way we study biology, so it’s only fitting that I come across this molecular gearbox on my dashboard. Even though these are just simulations and haven’t been built, there’s no purely chemical reason that they couldn’t.

Lots more cool machines to look at in this gallery. Soon to be featured in the tiniest transmission ever created.

30,000 year old flower revived.

Scientists have resurrected a flower from plant tissues found frozen in Siberian permafrost, thought to be 30,000-32,000 years old. The new Silene stenophylla is healthy and fertile, and producing viable seeds.

The experiment has excited many because it proves that material trapped in the permafrost is recoverable and usable - scientists have been working to recover other species of plant and animal life from the same area, such as the woolly mammoth.
