Submersibles Can Be Powered by Bioluminescent Energy, Researchers Say
BIOLUMINESCENCE IS THE EMISSION OF LIGHT FROM LIVING ORGANISMS. Insects and animals generate it through chemical reactions. Bioluminescence can be found in fireflies, but it is most common deep underwater and often far from human eyes. Deep-sea creatures use it for locating prey, confusing predators, and finding mates.

Scientists Create Mice With Woolly Mammoth-Like Fur
RESEARCHERS AT A COMPANY IN TEXAS ARE WORKING TO CREATE A LIVING ANIMAL THAT RESEMBLES THE EXTINCT WOOLLY MAMMOTH. Recently, they produced mice with traits of the large mammal. The mice all have coats with mammoth-like fur, and some of the small mammals also have genes that help them store fat. Both features would help the animals survive in the cold Arctic, where the woolly mammoth once lived.
