MRI Imaging of Plants Could Help Design New Engineering Materials

Researchers from the University of Freiburg, Germany, have developed a new method that utilizes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for visualizing the load-induced deformations that occur at the junction between a plant’s stems and its branches. This junction, called as plant ramifications, could provide new insights towards designing new lightweight, fibre-reinforced, branched materials for a wide range of applications including architecture, airplanes, cars and bicycles.

Laser-Induced Micro-Explosions Create New, Exotic Materials

A team of researchers has developed a novel technique to make new, exotic materials using ultra-short laser-induced micro-explosions in silicon. Silicon is a material that is generally used in computer chips. The research team successfully focused lasers onto silicon which was embedded deep inside a clear silicon dioxide layer and blasted small cavities in the solid silicon reliably. The study has been published in Nature Communications.
