A frozen fish comes back to life Experiment with a fish that has been frozen and thrown into a basin of water. After a few minutes, the fish thaws and returns to life. Many Arctic fish, Antarctica and the North have evolved to adapt to such conditions. Some types of cod, flounder and other polar fish have a reduced metabolic rate and can produce specific hormones with antifreeze properties. These hormones are called glycoproteins and reduce the freezing point of fluids in the body., which allows them to be kept at low temperatures for a short time.
Blackbird: the vehicle for shooting films and ads After two years of development, The company Mill in collaboration with JemFX, Performance and Filmworks Keslow, presents the "Blackbird", a test drive and adaptive structure can essentially take the form of any car for shooting films or advertisements. Using multiple cars for a spin can cost much, especially when it comes to modifying certain parts or the color of the vehicle. To be able to match all the car models, the Blackbird is equipped with adjustable parts: the frame is adjustable in width and length, the engine can be programmed to mimic the actual acceleration, the height can be changed, the suspension can be adjusted, etc.. The vehicle can also capture images from a camera 360, in order to reconstruct a virtual version of his environment and give the impression of reflection onto the body of the digital car.
