欢迎来到2013年的第一个星期五Smorgasbord！我们希望为您提供我们每周新鲜的新闻自助餐。我们带领今年的第一个“ smorgi”，讲述了关于鱼类和其他生物的故事，实际上会产生具有防冻剂特性的蛋白质，这些蛋白质可帮助他们自己变成冰块本身。科学家正在使用这项研究来帮助解决人类问题，例如将冰晶排除在冰淇淋之外。

即使是非媒介，也知道快速下降和口音的危险可能会对从疾病到癫痫发作甚至死亡的人类解剖结构造成重大破坏，但五角大楼的科学家正在寻找创造真正的Aquaman的方法。The research proposal from Darpa, the U.S. military’s advanced research arm, will look to develop a way for commandos to be able to skydive from airplanes six miles above the earth and parachute into the ocean, then be able to dive 200 feet below the surface for extended periods of time. We imagine these suits would not be the classic orange and green, but something cooler.

“这是Aliiiiivvvvvveeee ！！！”这场怪异的视频是一条无头，无肠的鱼似乎是复发的，这使它围绕着互联网。But instead of leaving the creepy video as is, the typical internet troll and naysayers came out in full force to call “Boo” to this frightening video accusing it been artificially induced, either by a hand holding the fish’s tail off-camera, or through a trick that utilizes table salt. As one person pointed out, “You can actually fake this effect with a lot of different types of fish and cuts. Basically as long as it has not been fully filleted all you have to do is apply some salt to the meat. The salt acts to refuel the sodium channels in the fish’s muscle and allows it to spasm like that.” What’s next? Dousing dreams of those of us who believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny?

We are continually surprised to see how reef life extends beyond the traditional tropical shallow-water environment, and recent news surfaced (no pun intended) that a research team from the University of Queensland’s Seaview Survey discovered corals 125 meters (410 feet) below the surface at Ribbon Reef, near the Torres Strait and at the edge of the Australian continental shelf. What’s even more fascinating is these corals are believed to have photosynthetic cells to harvest light — even at these depths.
