Robotic Wildlife Aid Study of Real-Life Critters

Though there are few commercial models available, animal researchers are building their own robotic versions of squirrels, lizards, cockroaches and other species in order to better observe their behavior in the wild. They can remotely control their robot adventurers to send specific signals and then observe the responses of the real creatures nearby.

Life Found a Mile Below Terrestrial Seabed; Implications For Life on Mars

We all know how hard life can be, but spare a thought for the microbes recently discovered 1.6 kilometres (1 mile) below the seabed off the coast of Canada. The living conditions are cramped, the environment is a searing 100°C (212F), and yet these hardy cells appear to be thriving. In the midst of the historic landing of Phoenix in the arctic wastes of Mars yesterday, the interest in finding life on the Red Planet has, yet again, reached fever pitch. Although Phoenix isn't built to look for life, it is assessing the Martian surface water content for signs that it may (or may have been able to) support life. This new discovery of life so deep below the Earth's surface may set some new limits on just how extreme life can be on other planets…

Using "Robo" Critters To Study Real Ones

Real-life iron man: A robotic suit that magnifies human strength

An exoskeleton robotic suit developed by Japan's CYBERDYNE, Inc. may help workers lift heavy loads and patients move damaged and prosthetic limbs. The company created the Robot Suit Hybrid Assistive Limb exoskeleton to help train doctors and physical therapists, assist disabled people, allow laborers to carry heavier loads, and aid in emergency rescues. The suit weighs 50.7 pounds and is powered by a 100-volt AC battery.

Imminent Discovery of Life On Mars?

Life on Mars?Do you think there is life on Mars? Do you think Phoenix will find evidence of it? Now there's a blog that's trying to collect a snapshot of the opinions of scientists, amateurs, and everyday people. "Imminent Discovery" thinks Phoenix may find simple life. Finding this evidence will definitely become headlines… If it happens. Is it possible it might have originated from earth? Perhaps from space, like the famous Antarctica meteorite which was believed to contain evidence of life transported here from Mars?

Unheard of life history for a vertebrate

There is a newly discovered life history among the 28,300 species of known tetrapods, or four-legged animals with backbones. A chameleon from arid southwestern Madagascar spends up to three-quarters of its life in an egg. Even more unusual, life after hatching is a mere 4 to 5 months. No other known four-legged animal has such a rapid growth rate and such a short life span. The new research is reported in the current issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
