Simultaneously synthesize several “white graphene” nanotubes
November 1, 2022Reviewed by Mila Perera A team of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Tokyo have created centimeter-scale structures composed of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)…
Simulation of shear destruction of red blood cells
A schematic diagram of shear flow. Credit: Fluid Physics (2022). DOI: 10.1063/5.0112967 Many medical devices for the treatment of heart failure generate non-physiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red…
Hydrothermal Vent Site Expands Estimates of Seabed Mineral Deposits – Astrobiology
Looking down on tall stalagmite-like hydrothermal vents from vast mineral deposits of the Aurora Hydrothermal Field, Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Ocean. Pale cream-colored “spots” near the tops of some chimneys represent…
