This is interesting, how peer pressure can factor into little things. Would be good to see what makes the brain do these things and what chemical reactions occure.

Interesting, could lead to some very important discoveries in future

Corie Rosen's curator insight, February 29, 2016 8:58 PM

Antibiotic resistance is nothing new; it is a very real threat in the world today. Bacteria are mutating and resisting our best tools at a rate that modern scientists can't keep up with. They say you learn something new everyday, and this was something I had no idea about until now! I flocked to this article because it is definitely an interesting concept. What is even cooler is the fact that a cicada's wings are able to kill gram-negative bacteria (gram-positive aren't affected), such as E. coli, through physical means and not chemical. This means the bacteria are unlikely to become resistant to the affects! Just imagine the ways scientists can utilize this!

This article, while not a scientific report, references the study done by scientists and provides links to it, therefore making the article a reliable source of information.

One wonders why bacteria would make a difference to a cicada's wings. They live underground as immatures which makes me think that antibacterial properties might derive from that part of their life cycle. But they don't have wings, so this is curious indeed.

This helps greatly with language students here at rhodes. Find out what is the difference between this learning style and the ordinary ones and what ordinary language learning styles are.

I saw this a while ago and forgot about it. It is not a method towards perfect language learning but it is a route to sufficient language learning.

Interesting developments in how we learn language. There’s really no reason we can’t learn more languages!

Sakis Koukouvis's insight:

As if making food from light were not impressive enough, it may be time to add another advanced skill to the botanical repertoire: the ability to perform — at least at the molecular level — arithmetic division.

Plants are so incredible!!!

Yamuna Flaherty's curator insight, September 25, 2013 2:19 PM

Whoa!

robyns tut's curator insight, October 14, 2013 1:08 PM

This is an interesting science piece. You can research how this happens and whether research is going into learning how to replicate this in other objets.
