me as a child: labs are spotless and big and scary…………everything is high tech and everyone is super smart and knows everything…….

all actual labs ever:

ok kids repeat after me

vinegar and bleach makes chlorine gas, which is highly toxic

ammonia and bleach makes chloramine, which is highly toxic

rubbing alcohol and bleach makes chloroform, which is highly toxic

hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes peracetic/peroxyacetic acid, which can be highly corrosive

be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok

5 things you didn’t know about...bone-healing nanofibres

Credit: Riitta-Leena Inki

1. They are thin-film and fibrous biomaterials with similar structures and regeneration rates to that of bone.  

2. They were developed by Jani Holopainen, a doctoral researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

3. The hydroxyapatite fibres are produced on a needleless, twisted wire electrospinning apparatus.

4. They could be used in bone implants and as scaffolding for bone regeneration. Cellular tests have been made already, but medical application is a way off.

5. The nanofibres would be used as a scaffold on the bone fracture or fault, activating the bone cells to reproduce. As the new cells are generated the nanofibres disintegrate, meaning there would be no need for further surgery to remove the nanofibre scaffold.

Silk spun by graphene-fed spiders is one of the strongest materials on Earth

Scientists have found a way to increase the overall strength and durability of spider silk. After feeding a spider a small amount of graphene and carbon nanotubes, the creature produced webs that were five times stronger than normal.

Spider webs are already strong enough to restrain small insects unlucky enough to fly into them, and soon, they may be capable of carrying the weight of a person.

In a new study published in 2D Materials, Nicola Pugno at the University of Trento in Italy and his team detail how they cranked arachnids’ already impressive metabolic process up to 11 by adding graphene and carbon nanotubes to a spider’s drinking water.

Afterward, the spider produced silk as it normally would, but the silk was five times stronger, putting it on par with the likes of pure carbon fibers and Kevlar — the strongest materials on Earth.
