FEEDING A GROWING CITY. “These studies suggest a mechanism by which the tumor-derived macroenvironment can be recycled as alternative fuel sources for rapidly proliferating cells.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0271-8?fbclid=IwAR01C2Z4J5lxVYDLhxIb9dPb3fhNSZSxwimZvhHaJ4n3-nVPpkt2PNqoukk View in LinkedIn

EXAPTATION. “The tinkering principle, proposed more than three decades ago by Jacob (1977) who stated that “evolution tinkers together contraptions and novelties come from previously unseen associations of already available material”. https://lnkd.in/dJ8dUGRd View in LinkedIn

THE SIMPLEST ATOM. “The fundamental building blocks of the proton—quarks and gluons—have been known for decades. However, we still have an incomplete theoretical and experimental understanding of how these particles and their dynamics give rise to the quantum bound state of the proton and its physical properties, such as its spin.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03282-z View in LinkedIn

THE OTHER PARTS. “The asymmetry of antimatter in the proton.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03282-z View in LinkedIn

HIGH ENERGY PROTONS. “Free protons occur occasionally on Earth: thunderstorms can produce protons with energies of up to several tens of MeV.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

PARTS OF PROTONS. “Protons are composite particles composed of three valence quarks: two up quarks of charge +2/3 e and one down quark of charge −1/3 e. The rest masses of quarks contribute only about 1% of a proton's mass. The remainder of a proton's mass is due to quantum chromodynamics binding energy, which includes the kinetic energy of the quarks and the energy of the gluon fields that bind the quarks together.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

“PROTONS, together with electrically neutral particles called neutrons, make up all atomic nuclei except for the hydrogen nucleus (which consists of a single proton). Every nucleus of a given chemical element has the same number of protons. This number defines the atomic number of an element and determines the position of the element in the periodic table.”" " https://lnkd.in/e9rkP5x5 View in LinkedIn

FIRST ATOM IN THE UNIVERSE. “The word proton is Greek for "first", and this name was given to the hydrogen nucleus by Ernest Rutherford in 1920.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

MIS-EXAPTATION. “The possible functional and genetic links between schizophrenia and creativity have been pointed out. Thus, in some cases creativity may reflect not so much the functioning of the brain but rather its borderline dysfunction hence when things go a little wrong, that something new is experienced.” (Extraordinary article). https://lnkd.in/dJ8dUGRd View in LinkedIn
