A team of scientists has taken the heart cells of a rat, arranged them on a piece of rubbery silicone, added a jolt of electricity, and created a "Franken-jelly." Just like a real jellyfish, the artificial jelly swims around by pumping water in and out of its bell-shaped body. Researchers hope the advance can someday help engineers design better artificial hearts and other muscular organs.
