Scientists have created a new way to detect ethylenediamine (EDA), a chemical that's not so good for the environment. They made tiny, leaf-like structures called WO3-BiVO4 nanoflakes using a special process called hydrothermal synthesis. These nanoflakes were checked under microscopes and found to b
Did you know that even during simple muscle contractions, different parts of the same muscle can behave differently? Researchers recently zoomed in on the rectus femoris, a muscle in our thighs, to see how it responds when we hold a still position. They used a special tool called ultrasound shear wa
