GEOMETRY. “Lastly, the present analysis is of static relative geometries for simplicity, and generic relative geometries must include time dependence. With changes in geometry consistent with approximately flat space-time, causality should limit the propagation of the subsequent effects (classical or quantum).” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

KICKING IT DOWN THE ROAD. “Therefore polarization concerns, relating to characteristics of information without impact on most particles, are not among the most pressing matters at hand, and are deferred until a later point.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

COMPLEX CONCEPT. “With a scenario building on information exchange, however, properties directly connected to information propagation (such as light) turn into defining qualities (in this case of space-time) rather than limitations on what is physical.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

TOOTH ENAMEL. “HAP is another biomineral, which was recently reported to form mesocrystals in tooth enamel-like structures and dentin remineralization suggesting a role of mesocrystals in calcium phosphate biominerals too.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

THE MOST FAMOUS EXPERIMENT. “In the case of single- and double-slit diffraction, the symmetry of the set-up is directly observable in the lines delineating maxima and minima of the probability distribution of photons after diffraction by the slit in question.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THE NUMBERS. “The 3000-fold fracture toughness of nacre was explained by energy dissipation by the polymeric layers.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

GREATER THAN THE SUM. “The brittle crystals can add mechanical strength and hardness to the system while the soft polymeric or amorphous phase is deformable and adds elasticity.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

GREATER STRENGTH BIOMINERALS. “Compared to a single crystal with cleavage planes, which makes it very brittle, the polycrystal-line mesocrystal structure with soft regions between the singe crystalline nanoparticle building units can make the hybrid material superiour to its constituents.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

BIOMINERAL MESOCRYSTALS. “An important recent finding is that several Biominerals turned out to be mesocrystals like sea urchin spines, sponge spicules, foraminifera, nacre, calcite prisms in mussel shells,corals, or egg shells, as summarized by Oaki et al. and for calcareous sponge spicules.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn
