The article reports on the use of sea anemone stinging cells as tiny needles to inject drugs into the skin. It notes that the stings of sea anemones, jellyfish and other cnidarians work like tiny harpoons when triggered by physical contact and they also shoot out a hollow thread that delivers poison into the unfortunate victim through a sharp tip. Israel firm NanoCyte reportedly uses sea anemone stings that are native to the Red and Mediterranean seas to denature and extract their toxic proteins.

The article explores the impact of a quantum machine gun, a device that spews out entangled photons on optical quantum computing. The device was developed by Terry Rudolph of Imperial College London in England and Netanel Lindner of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. The photonic machine gun has the capacity to spew out barrages of entangled photons with machine-gun regularity.
