ITS ALIVE!!! ITS ALIIIIIVVVVEEEE!!!!!!
Yes that is correct. A synthetic jellyfish made from rat heart and flexible silicon has been created to swim like a real jellyfish. This type of research is going to result in a lot of future work with synthetic organs and understanding animal behavior. More info below.
See it in action
Next 2 videos will help explain it more
“Medusoid” was grown in a tiny frame, so that it had a round shape
and eight appendages. They used computer engineering to determine the shape
that would work best for them. The design for the artificial jellyfish came
from the moon jellyfish which consists of a single layer of muscle, with fibers
that are tightly aligned around a central ring and along eight spokes. Instead
of jellyfish muscle they used a layer of rat heart muscle because the “building
blocks” of rat muscle were more “familiar” to them.
