Scientists invent Silicon that pumps water

[joshd]

Aside from the power-of-gravity arguments, didn't they just invent half of a heatpipe system?

No, the liquid in a heatpipe moves around due to temperature differences and phase changes.

[hollo]

the liquid moves due to capilliary action

Like I said, on a small scale, yes.

On a larger scale, say, our Milky Way Galaxy, gravity is the strongest force in existence. Even light itself cannot escape the gravitational pull of a black hole.

yeah, but heat energy can .... that's how they trace the Black Hole, through heat from atom collisions

but it's an off-topic anyhow

wow interesting....

must have been adapted using the adhesion-cohesion effect of water or as hollo so nicely linked... capillary action.... how most plants attain their water to the upper parts of the plants :P

maybe we will get to see some bionic plants... lol

cool stuff
