ELECTROMECHANICAL BONE. "The biological significance of piezoelectricity in bone is that it suggests correlation between bone properties and its functionality. Subsequently, the electromechanical behavior of bone attracted significant attention due to possible clinical application of electrical stimulation to bone growth and repair." https://lnkd.in/ejQXn-P View in LinkedIn

DYNAMIC COMPOSITES. "Butterfly wings, like exoskeletons of most insects, represent a form of biological composite made of chitin fibers in a protein matrix. Similar to many other polysaccharide-based biopolymers, chitin is reported to be piezoelectric." http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1041&context=physicsgruverman View in LinkedIn

UNSEEN FORCES. “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” (Nikola Tesla). https://lnkd.in/eyFtShi View in LinkedIn

CHIRAL FLIPPING. "Our universe is full of magnetic fields, even in deep interstellar space. It has been hypothesized that this may be due to unequal numbers of left versus right chiral particles through a process called chiral flipping." https://lnkd.in/eBAYp9j View in LinkedIn

CHARGE SEPARATION. "A magnetic field has opposite polar ends, or charge separation. This is thought to be cause by different numbers of quarks and antiquarks with left- and right-handed helicity." https://lnkd.in/ePeWvpu View in LinkedIn

NANO-MAGNETS. "The nanostructuring techniques have opened a road for the discovery of new physical phenomena at the nanoscale with important consequences for nanotechnological applications. Magnetic nanostructures present as valuable candidates for the development of high density storage media, high speed magnetic random access memories, Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and magnetic sensors and logic devices." https://lnkd.in/evS-e3q View in LinkedIn

ADVENTURES IN FLATLAND. "A material that is just a few atoms thick can have very different fundamental properties from a material made of the same molecules in solid form. “Even if the bulk material is an old one, if you can get it into 2D form it opens up new opportunities." https://lnkd.in/eVYcGX9 View in LinkedIn

"CASIMIR FORCES observed experimentally in nature have almost always been attractive and have rendered nanoscale and microscale machines inoperable by causing their moving parts to permanently stick together. This has been a long-standing problem that some researchers have tried to solve.” https://lnkd.in/etbCjEi) View in LinkedIn
