A swift heavy ion (SHI, Е >1 MeV/nucl) loses the largest part of its energy (>95%, 5–50 keV/nm along the ion trajectory) through excitation of the electronic subsystem of a solid 1,2. Subsequent ...
Cryopreservation remains the most common method for the long-term storage of various cells. However, during the cryopreservation process a significant number of cells experience irreparable damage 1 ...
Open the freezer door and there, way in the back, may be an old carton of ice cream growing spikes of ice. Or a forgotten frozen lasagna covered in icy crystals. Or drying of meat surfaces if not well ...
Biopreservation is a process by which the degradation of biologics is suppressed to enable the recovery of structure, viability, and function. Cryopreservation is the most common method for long-term ...
When materials are altered in shape by plastic deformation their grain shape tends to change. This is illustrated below for a wire being "drawn" into a dimension suitable for a bicycle spoke. While ...
