Who needs servos and a degree in robotics? The real threat to humanity is brewing in the distillation columns of chemists at Waseda University in Tokyo where researchers have developed a chemical gel that walks like an inchworm. Really, just check the video after the break. The color-changing, motile gel reacts to chemicals in its environment to create its own oscillating locomotion without the need for electrical stimulation. The idea is to augment the electronics in future robotics with these "self organized" chemical systems to avoid additional circuitry complexity and external controls. Our advice? Run.

Wow... bizarre!
 
LOL!

Okay nevermind, Raziaar, don't go outside.

D:
 
I'll start to run when it can move faster than 0.00003 m/s

OMG think of the possibilities!!! Motion without the need for power!
 
so in theory, if this would be launched into space, it would gain speed, without the need of power, till it reaches light speed?! : D : D

-dodo
 
Then goes beyond light speed?

WHO WOULD STOP THIS SPEEDING SLUDGE?!
 
World of Raziaar come to outside? oh wait ... :sleep:

no way! The goo would splatter, and then you'd have hundreds of smaller goo coming after you, and they can fit through the cracks of doors!
 
We send it in our secret ship that can go faster than the speed of light,

goo becomes god.

it will absorb the rocket and grow stronger
 
All without the need for power!

It's robots with "magical" goo inside them so the rocket will do fine thank you...
