The scale is small, a little smaller than the diameter of spider silk. Scaling this research up in the future may mean that you could replace the gas in your cars and generators with hydrogen greener option,
Cornell researchers examined these special nylon sheets replete with applied nanoscale iron oxide particles to see
and particle retention of the nylon membranes as they were processed (or washed) in solutions of varying ph levels. t critical to evaluate particle retention
Adhering nanoparticles of iron oxide to nylon fiber is done in three ways: electrospraying, which facilitates uniform nanoparticle placement in the fibers;
Trejo explained. ou would want the nanoparticles to stay on the Nylon 6 membranes so the material can have function throughout the life use.
#USDA Scientists, International Colleagues Sequence Upland cotton Genome U s. Department of agriculture (USDA) scientists and their partners have sequenced the genome of the world most widely cultivated and genetically complex species of cotton,
a milestone that will make it easier to address increasing threats to cotton by tapping into its natural defenses.
Sequencing the genome of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) will help breeders develop varieties of cotton that are equipped better to combat the pests,
Cotton growers have experienced a plateau in yields since the early 1990s and most commercial varieties lack genetic diversity, making cotton vulnerable to natural threats.
The findings will help researchers and breeders in the years ahead develop cotton varieties with improved fiber qualities, higher yields and more tolerance to heat, drought and diseases anticipated due to climate change.
Cotton is grown on 12 million acres in 17 states and is a $6 billion crop in the United states. here is untapped a vast
reservoir of genes in wild cotton plants that could offer us stronger and more effective defenses to the numerous challenges faced by cotton growers.
Sequencing of a genetic standard in cotton gives us the roadmap to identify and tap into that reservoir of genetic variability,
said Chavonda Jacobs-Young, administrator of the USDA Agricultural research service (ARS. ARS is USDA principal intramural scientific research agency.
because several of the scientists involved in today studies recently sequenced the two arentspecies of most commercial cotton varietiesn Old world cultivated cotton and a New world wild cotton.
and exploit cotton genetic diversity by tapping into the potential of genes found in the 10,000 accessions of exotic and wild cotton plants in the ARS Cotton Germplasm Collection in College Station, Texas t
Sosanya has created a way to weave materials such as wool and cotton in three dimensions before they are sealed to maintain a rigid structure.
The method he said, could be applied to protective clothing in sports, for making bulletproof vests and in constructing buildings.
Above those tubes is a mechanised eederwhich winds the fabric for example cotton around them in shapes dictated by a set pattern programmed into a computer.
a patent-pending technology that uses a growing organism and byproducts from food production (oat hulls from New york, cotton hulls from Texas and rice hulls from Arkansas) to create a strong composite material.
The light is projected through each well and collected by 96 plastic optical fibers. A custom-designed smartphone app then reads the resulting images
After the light is projected through each well, 96 individual plastic optical fibers in the attachment collect a multitude of images.

Products including pistachios, almonds, citrus, stone fruit, cotton, and grapes are grown here and distributed all over the United states
(and that of others) to apply negative stiffness to ballistics by using nylon (rather than a sponge) as their build material.
