blog incest: perpetual motion exists ONLINE... wooooooo (creepy ghost sound)

man, I check both boing boing and we make money not art, but lately they both post the same stories, sometimes even referencing each other.

but that will NOT stop me from posting the EXACT SAME THINGS HERE! hee hee hee

Scientists take the effort out of moving objects
Via The Herald

A team led by scientists from Edinburgh University has succeeded in objects move remotely and with no direct physical effort.

They used nanotechnology to shift a tiny droplet of a thick liquid called diiodomethane up a 12-degree slope against the force of gravity. This is claimed to be the small-scale equivalent of a conventional machine lifting an object twice the height of the world's tallest building.

Professor David Leigh said: "It is the first time molecular machines have managed to talk to the real world."

The experience could mean that lifting things becomes unnecessary in the future, people would then shift objects about remotely, using laser pointers.

[I think we know they mean MAGIC WANDS...]

The team has developed a surface that is covered with synthetic molecular Teflon-like "shuttles". The components of the shuttles move up and down by a millionth of a millimetre when exposed to light. After most of the shuttle molecules change position, this prompts a change in surface properties and this in turn moves the droplets.

ok, this got me to actually post again

Scary and funny and scary. Mostly scary.
