As amazing as it often is, biology can be equally messed-up up at times. In Tennessee, U.S., a whitetail deer was found ambling around the streets with a condition that made it appear as if it had hair growing on its eyeballs. Yes, you read that right.

Something you might've not expected to hear: scientists have successfully taught spinach – yes, spinach, as in the plant – to send emails. More accurately, engineers at the renown Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have used nanotechnology to transform ordinary spinach plants into sensors that detect explosive materials in the ground, and then send warning emails out as they detect them. By inserting carbon nanotubes in the leaves, the spinach […]
