#science25 Scientists have revealed that the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi, also known as the sea walnut, can undergo reverse development, effectively “aging backward” to an earlier life stage. The comb jelly naturally does this when faced with unfavorable circumstances. This incredible ability — only the third-known instance in the animal kingdom — could redefine our understanding of animal development and evolutionary biology.

#science25 AroTrack can detect several aromatic contaminants, including phenol, benzene, and 2, 3 dimethylphenol, even when these pollutants are present in low concentrations - usually in the 10-200 parts per billion range.

The key component of the device is a biosensing module called MopR - a sensitive sensor for detecting phenol.
