8 Beautiful Bioluminescent Creatures From the Sea
Deiopea Comb Jelly Most comb jellies, like this 2-inch Deiopea, named for a mythological water nymph, are hermaphroditic. They release both eggs and sperm, which then meet and fertilize in the open water. Though it's possible for comb jellies to self-fertilize, researchers don’t know how often this happens. Like the siphonophore, comb-jelly luminescence isn't fully understood. It's thought to be defensive, but we don't know for sure. Image: Steve Haddock/Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
The Power of YOU - Yanko Design
This clever gadget, called Activ, makes it possible to harness the kinetic energy created by your own body! The personal electricity generator was designed to be worn on the knee- with each step, it juices up the battery a little more. After it’s full, just attach a USB cord directly to Activ to power your cell phone or other device. Instead of plugging into the wall… plug into you! Designer: Ben Azzam
