#Vehicle body made from cotton hemp and wood Carbon and glass fibers reinforce synthetics so that they can be used for vehicle body construction.
But in this regard there is an abundance of potential found in natural fibers obtained from hemp cotton or wood.
If you combined bio-based textile and carbon fibers you can obtain extremely light yet very sturdy components. ightweightis an important buzzword in automotive engineering and just as important in the aerospace sector too.
Variants derived from hemp flax cotton and wood are about as affordable as glass fibers and moreover have a lower density than the pendants made of glass or carbon.

Eventually, the researchers figured out that a second special property of brain cancer cells that they lack the so-called myelin sheaths that coat healthy brain cells had a greater effect on the OCT readings than did density.
eif4e forms a key part of a complex that binds to a cap at the end of each mrna strand
Because this cap-binding function of eif4e has been considered so essential, the researchers thought other known players in translation must somehow be working overtime in the engineered mice to take up the slack for the reduction in eif4e.
Interestingly, the majority of mrnas produced by these genes contain a molecular signature near the cap that the researchers dubbed a ERT motif.
The group believes that in cancer cells eif4e is recruited selectively to certain mrna caps by the presence of the CERT motif

#Nanotech transforms cotton fibers into modern marvel Marcia Silva da Pinto, postdoctoral researcher, works on growing metal organic frameworks onto cotton samples to create a filtration system capable of capturing toxic gas,
as Juan Hinestroza looks on. Juan Hinestroza and his students live in a cotton-soft nano world,
where they create clothing that kills bacteria, conducts electricity, wards off malaria, captures harmful gas and weaves transistors into shirts and dresses. otton is one of the most fascinating and misunderstood materials,
said Hinestroza, associate professor of fiber science, who directs the Textiles Nanotechnology Laboratory at Cornell. n a nanoscale world
and that is our world we can control cellulose-based materials one atom at a time. he Hinestroza group has turned cotton fibers into electronic components such as transistors and thermistors,
so instead of adding electronics to fabrics, he converts the fabric into an electronic component. reating transistors
and other components using cotton fibers brings a new perspective to the seamless integration of electronics
and textiles, enabling the creation of unique wearable electronic devices, Hinestroza said. Taking advantage of cotton irregular topography, Hinestroza and his students added conformal coatings of gold nanoparticles,
as well as semiconductive and conductive polymers to tailor the behavior of natural cotton fibers. he layers were so thin that the flexibility of the cotton fibers is preserved always,
Hinestroza said, ibers are everywhere from your underwear, pajamas, toothbrushes, tires, shoes, car seats, air filtration systems and even your clothes. bbey Liebman 0 created a dress using conductive cotton threads capable of charging an iphone.
With ultrathin solar panels for trim and a USB charger tucked into the waist, the Southwest-inspired garment captured enough sunshine to charge cell phones
and other handheld devices allowing the wearer to stay plugged in. The technology may be embedded into shirts to measure heart rate
or analyze sweat, sewn into pillows to monitor brain signals or applied to interactive textiles with heating and cooling capabilities. revious technologies have achieved similar functionalities,
but those fibers became rigid or heavy, unlike our yarns, which are friendly to further processing, such as weaving, sewing and knitting,
Hinestroza said. Synthesizing nanoparticles and attaching them to cotton not only creates color on fiber surfaces without the use of dyes,
but the new surfaces can efficiently kill 99.9 percent of bacteria, which could help in warding colds, flu and other diseases.
Two of Hinestroza students created a hooded bodysuit embedded with insecticides using metal organic framework molecules,
or MOFS to fend off malarial mosquitoes. Malaria kills more than 600,000 people annually in Africa. While insecticide-treated nets are common in African homes
the antimalarial garment can be worn during the day to provide extra protection and does not dissipate like skin-based repellants.
Other students have used MOFS to create a mask and hood capable of trapping toxic gases in a selective manner.
MOFS, which are clustered crystalline compounds, can be manipulated at the nano level to build nanoscale cages that are the exact same size as the gas they are trying to capture. e wanted to harness the power of these molecules to absorb gases
and incorporate these MOFS into fibers, which allows us to make very efficient filtration systems,
Hinestroza always looks for new ways to employ cotton as a canvas for creating infinite modern uses. e want to transform traditional natural fibers into true engineering materials that are multifunctional
but have it remain flexible and as comfortable as a t-shirt or an old pair of jeans. c
