A feat beyond all mortals except Steve Rogers. Recent research shows that single-celled organisms may be sending electrical-mails of their own.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/06/unicellular-internetwe-might-think-were-something-special-with-our-global-communications-network-and-were-right-but-bacteri.html"><P>The recent discovery of biological nanowires has opened a whole new field in bacterial investigation. Still in its early stages, the research has already discovered organisms which build tiny electrical connections out of rust and others which can extrude their own thin wiring. These are used by some bacteria to acquire metal atoms, but it seems they may have many more uses.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/06/unicellular-internetwe-might-think-were-something-special-with-our-global-communications-network-and-were-right-but-bacteri.html">Researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute believe that the wires, which can even connect different species, could be used for energy or even information exchange. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/06/unicellular-internetwe-might-think-were-something-special-with-our-global-communications-network-and-were-right-but-bacteri.html">The implications are incredible. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/35787C23-CA59-42A1-B21D-3CA602E07F79/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
