Nanoscale Biomaterials Require Close Observation
Replacement bones and blood vessels are just two types of artificial tissues that require deep-imaging microscopy techniques to develop. Studying useful materials is not limited to macroscale structures such as sheet metal, optical glass, wood or concrete. Some of the most exciting work being done in materials research these days is on a much tinier scale and has applications that can get well under your skin. Polyurethane is already a useful and ubiquitous material, found in common...
