Bionic Jellyfish Can Swim Three Times Faster Using Less Energy After Being Fitted With Tiny Prosthetic

A long-running project managed by scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Stanford University have shown a prosthetic can make jellyfish move about three times faster using less energy, and without causing any harm. Their findings are published in Science Advances. Academics said jellyfish equipped with sensors could soon be directed to explore and record data about the ocean—aided in part by their abundance. “Only a small fraction of the ocean has been explored, so we want to take advantage of the fact that jellyfish are everywhere already to make a leap from ship-based measurements, which are limited in number due to their high cost,” John Dabiri, one of the lead researchers, said in a statement....

Bitcoin Will Recover But New Highs Unlikely Retailers Eye Expansion

Bitcoin may be poised to move higher, but it won’t be a meteoric rise, and any increase will be well below the cryptocurrency’s all-time high. The world’s leading crypto by market cap has rebounded and traded in a narrow range after falling as much as 50% from its record high last month. However, Bitcoin mining activity suggests a move above $40,000 is possible. “Several on-chain and network indicators have reflected a bullish skew over the week, albeit most being relatively neutral for the short and medium-term,” Lennard Neo, a certified financial analyst and head of research at Stack Funds in Singapore, said in a research report....
