These jugs may look like a smart piece of modern design—because they are—but they’re also modelled on the most important muscle of all: the beating heart in your chest.

This amazing 3D piece of silicone dotted with electronics looks like something out of the future—because it is. In fact, this potential pacemaker replacement fits over the human heart and is capable of monitoring and, soon, responding to, its vital signs.

Buh-bum. Buh-bum. Buh-bum. We all have our own interpretations of what a heartbeat sounds like but here is what it looks like during heart surgery. It looks like it’s rolling in place inside your chest. Pretty amazing.

The Chandra X-Ray Observatory has captured this Heart in the Darkness, for all of you astronomers in love out there, "a heart-shaped cloud of 8 million-degree Celsius gas in the central region of the star cluster NGC 346. NASA says that the "the nature of the heart in the darkness will remain mysterious" until they make future observations.

Sure, you could give your sweetie some flowers this Valentine’s Day and make it just like all the rest, but wouldn’t it be better to get her something to celebrate her geeky side? Here, take this Legendary Hero 8-Bit Heart Bouquet. It’s dangerous to go alone.
Flowers die, but video games are forever. This 3D foam cutout is the perfect gift for your significant other. It even includes a fold-out stand for displaying on a desk or table. There are also holes in the back so you can mount it on the wall.
It is only $12.99(USD) from ThinkGeek. Cheap and awesome. You gotta love that. Get her some chocolate too. You have to have chocolate.

Say what you will about these sperm-like bio-bots; they’ve got heart. The beating of live heart cells propels a tail back and forth, so that these self-powered swimming bio-bots—the first of their kind—could one day wriggle through your body delivering drugs. No batteries needed.

It may surprise you that, despite our seemingly vast knowledge of the human body, we’re still decently in the dark when it comes to the smaller portions of the cardiovascular system. Even more surprising, the answer to that problem isn’t lying in more powerful microscopes. It’s in a heart pumping pure, shiny liquid metal.

It might look more like something a street vendor would serve up food from, but, believe it or not, this is one of the first ever artificial hearts.

We have seen the possibility of a urine-powered robot earlier last month, but here we are with scientists from the Bristol Robotics Laboratory in the UK who claimed to have developed a prototype robotic “heart” that will successfully be able to be powered solely by human urine alone. This is an interesting development, as this prototype heart was made using a 3D printer. Needless to say, the journey is far from finished, as a full working robot happens to be under development still, as the heart is the only working component at the moment.
In fact, this “heart” is made out of a rubber-like 3D printed material that is called TangoPlus, where it can charge up to 3.5 volts and perform 33 pumps thanks to just 2 milliliters of “fresh” human urine. If one were to extrapolate this particular idea, who knows, we could have an entire slew of ecologically-friendly robots that will be able to be powered simply by using energy from waste that has been collected from urinals, and public lavatories at that. Hopefully it has some sort of useful air filter, no? It would certainly be yucky to clean the innards of the robot, especially where the urine is gathered, don’t you think so?
