The medic measured 400 milligrams after estimating the 6-foot-tall Jackson weighed 175 pounds, enough to immobilize someone within minutes.

Others suggested they helped predators immobilize larger prey, assisted the brooding of eggs or were a display to mates and rivals.

Snake venom is a complex cocktail of toxins, amino acids and proteins that evolved primarily to immobilize and kill prey, but it also prepares tissues for digestion.

"H1-Fr cages have the potential to immobilize external molecules inside them for molecular delivery," remarks Prof. Ueno, "Our results indicate that the H1-Fr/PhC core-shell structures, displaying H1-Fr cages on the outer surface of the PhC core, can be individually controlled at the nanoscale level. By accumulating different functional molecules in the PhC core and H1-Fr cage, hierarchical nanoscale-controlled crystals can be constructed for advanced biotechnological applications."

Bills to roll back state and federal electric vehicle mandates have been making their way through Congress, as Republican lawmakers attempt to immobilize Democrats’ green energy agenda.
