Blood Flow in a Fin

This award-winning video shows blood flowing through the tail fin of a small fish. Cells flow outward in a central vessel, then split to either side for the return journey. (Video and image credit: F. Weston for the 2023 Nikon Small World in Motion Competition; via Colossal) Read the full article

Daily fish fact #360

Glasshead barreleye!

This deep sea fish has essentially two pairs of eyes! Along with its main pair of eyes, it has two round, light-collecting mirror organs on the sides of its head which even have a kind of retina! With its four eyes, the fish can see shadows from above and bioluminescence from sides and below!

Will We Ever Have CYBORG BRAINS?

As you know... the term 'cyborg' is a portmanteau, combining the words 'cybernetic' and 'organism' and a cyborg is an entity comprising both organic and biomechatronic body parts.

There's a slightly different version of this... If you want to see it, here it is.

Tomopterids, the ethereal glow worms of the deep 💡🐛

Tomopterids are marine planktonic polychaetes—commonly known as Gossamer Worms — that swim in the water column, never touching the seafloor. Growing anywhere between 1 cm and 30 cm long. They are also one of the very few marine creatures that can produce yellow light, spewing their bioluminescence to scare off predators

“Impossible Figures” Minimalist Posters by  Éric Le Tutour

An Impossible Figure is an optical illusion in which a physically impossible three-dimensional object is depicted in two-dimensions. Humans have a natural tendency to try to interpret drawings as three-dimensional objects, which is why when viewing an impossible figure, you may feel confused or find the image unsettling! 

Reutersvärd’s Triangle and the Penrose Triangle were first created by graphic artist Oscar Reutersvärd, the Impossible Cube (the kind of Necker Cube portrayed on the poster) was invented by M.C. Escher for his artwork Belvedere, and the Penrose Stairs were created by psychologist Lionel Penrose and his mathematician son, Roger Penrose. (The Penrose pair also created the Penrose Triangle independently from and later than Reutersvärd.) These inventors clearly show that “impossible objects are of interest to psychologists, mathematicians and artists without falling entirely into any one discipline”. Source.
