Our brains are increasingly plastic. Minuscule shards and flakes of polymers are surprisingly abundant in brain tissue, a study of postmortem brains shows. This appraisal of microplastics and ...

Nature often demonstrates extraordinary ingenuity in material design, where structure dictates function. Examples include the toughness of nacre, the rigidity of bamboo, and the vivid coloration in ...

This makes it possible to predict texture evolution, hardening behavior, and anisotropy in materials such as metals (e.g., FCC, BCC) and other crystalline solids. In multiscale modeling, one often ...

A local diffusion tensor was estimated for each voxel, and relative anisotropy (RA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were derived from the SD (RA) and mean (ADC) of the eigenvalues of this ...

There’s yet more evidence that exposure to plastics can be harmful to health. Recent research indicates that black plastic found in items like food containers, kitchen utensils, and toys often ...

They are made by heating these chemicals at a high temperature. When the plastic is soft it can be poured into a mould. Once the plastic cools, it hardens into a shape. Plastic is a material that ...

THE fight against plastic waste ramps up at the start of the year with the launch of two separate movements with similar goals and strategies last January. First, the National Plastic Action ...

The Consortium unites representatives from civil society organizations (CSOs), government agencies, and businesses in a shared mission to develop sustainable, community-driven solutions to plastic ...

We sought to test tractography without pre-processing, using software on the operator console (Siemens NeuroLab 3D) by RGW (an Academic Plastic Surgery Registrar with 4 years of experience ... The ...
