A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.
Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

The image is a New Yorker cartoon depicting two distinct groups of people in what looks like a waiting room. On the left, there are five individuals seated calmly, waiting. On the right, a group of four people is entangled in a humorous and physically impossible manner that defies the laws of physics, with limbs stretched and bent in bizarre ways, suggesting a surreal and nonsensical scenario. One of the seated individuals is making a quip, "So I'm guessing we're in the placebo group,"
