Dr. Robin Rumney of the University of Portsmouth, after six months of experimentation, stepped up growth by growing an in vitro analogue of the clam’s teeth, the sea saucer. In 2015, he and his colleagues studied its structure and measured its strength using atomic force microscopy. Among all terrestrial materials, it is very common.
Scientists have long known that marine observers scrape rocks in search of stuck-on algae, their basic matter, so evolution has gifted them with incredibly strong teeth on a flexible tongue. Now we know the secret of this density – in the teeth, the mollusk is part of the dense weaves of chitinous fibers with numerous inclusions of geotites, which include iron. However, as the doctor admits, to reproduce this konalkssed
To obtain material on the outer workpiece, which consists of chitin, whey and oxide. In two weeks, this combination will organize itself into a +obosity rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Dr. Rumney extracted the isolated cells from the material and added hard mineralized chitin to them, and then using cellulose electrospinning technology they bind 0.5 cm. They have those the same strength characteristics as the real teeth of sea dishes.
However, the main advantage of the new material is not its strength, but that it is biodegradable. We have learned how to make exceptional natural materials with characteristic properties, but almost all of them have not met with any signs, are not associated with anything. In addition, it is toxic and very expensive production. But if you replace Kevlar and mosite materials with real nature.
