If Only All Bikes Were Made Like This...


...we'd have fewer dead bikers. Too bad its only a concept.

The Pulse is the brainchild of design firm Teague. Sure, it's packed with clever lights built into the handlebars, a motorcycle-like turn signal system and counterweighted pedals that never flip upside down. But the Pulse's pièce de résistance is clearly its triangular glowing center (that's still visible from the front or rear of the bike). I mean, if a driver runs you over on the Pulse, they were obviously trying to. [Gizmodo]

Welcome the First Glowing Cloned Puppy

South Korean scientists have managed to clone puppies that glows under a certain light. Above is the picture of the glowing pup.

Even under normal light, you can see the protein gene that causes the glow.

The two cloned puppies are on the left and right.

A cloned beagle named Ruppy – short for Ruby Puppy – is the world's first transgenic dog. She and four other beagles all produce a fluorescent protein that glows red under ultraviolet light.

A team led by Byeong-Chun Lee of Seoul National University in South Korea created the dogs by cloning fibroblast cells that express a red fluorescent gene produced by sea anemones. [NewScientist]
