Color LIFE Sound (exe): Color Life figures the reproduction behavior of microorganism. The reproduction rules can be free selected likewise the incremental width and output time of the generations. Color-palettes can be produced by your own. With a shape-run, new rules and nice graphics can be found. Color Life Sound plays the cell-pattern with...; Tags: Rule, Color Life, Color Life Sound; Software downloads 2006-10-04
World's next fuel source could be designer organisms: World's next fuel source could be designer organismsWhoa![a new start-up called Synthetic Genomics, which plans to create new types of organisms that, ideally, would produce hydrogen, secrete nonpolluting heating oil or be able to break down greenhouse gases. The initial focus will be on creating "biofactories" for hydrogen and ethanol,]Uh,...; Tags: hydrogen, organism, designer organism, theory; Discussion threads 2005-11-07
