When you see blood oozing from a cut in your finger, you might assume that it is red because of the iron in it, rather as rust has a reddish hue. But the presence of the iron is a coincidence. The red color arises because the iron is bound in a ring of atoms in haemoglobin called porphyrin and it's the shape of this structure that produces the color. Just how red your haemoglobin is depends on whether there is oxygen bound to it. When there is oxygen present, it changes the shape of the porphyrin, giving the red blood cells a more vivid shade.

Self-Folding Minirobots Possible with Origami-Inspired Graphene
Origami-inspired graphene paper that can fold itself could be used to create anything from miniature robots to artificial muscles, according to a new study. Scientists from Donghua University in China have demonstrated that gently heating a sheet of graphene paper, which is extraordinarily strong (about 200 times stronger than steel by weight), could make it fold into a device that is able to walk forward and backward.

Fun Fact

Serial killers behave like bees. They commit crimes close to home, but far enough that neighbors don't get suspicious.
