New materials research looks at transformation at the atomic level

When manufacturing techniques transform metals, ceramics or composites into technologically useful forms, understanding the mechanism of the phase transformation process is critical to shaping the behavior of these high-performance materials. However, seeing the transformation in real time is indeed difficult. A new study in the journal Nature, led by Professor Guangwen Zhou of the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Materials Science program at Binghamton University, uses a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to peer into the oxide. -to-metal transformation at the atomic level. Of particular interest are mismatch dislocations which are always present at the interface in multiphase materials and play a key role in determining structural and functional properties. Students Zhou, Xianhu Sun and Dongxiang Wu are the first co-authors of this paper (“Kinetics of dislocation-induced interfacial transformation”)...

Consumption of extra virgin olive oil during pregnancy increases the level of antioxidants in breast milk and

Extra virgin olive oil represents the main source of fat in the Mediterranean diet. From left to right, Rosa M. Lamuela-Raventos, Francisco J. Pérez-Cano, Blanca Grases-Pintó i Sonia Zhan-Dai (above), i Anallely López-Yerena, Anna Vallverdú-Queralt i Maria J. Rodríguez-Lagunas ( under). The results support evidence that a diet with extra virgin olive oil can modify and even increase the content of these bioactive compounds in breast milk with potential benefits for infant health. Consumption of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)—a product with widely recognized benefits for our health—increases the levels of phenolic compounds in breast milk and can cross the placental barrier, reaching offspring. This was revealed in a research conducted by a team from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Science, the Research Institute for Nutrition and Food Safety, Universitas Brawijaya (INSA-UB) and the Center for Biomedical Research on Obesity Physiopathology and Nutrition Network (CIBEROBN). .

REACT: Perese and Petaia join Wallabies' list of devastating injuries as Eddie's England level series

England were back on level terms in a three-Test series against Australia but the charge for the Wallabies was significantly greater than the 25-17 reverse in the second Test at a hectic Suncorp Stadium. The Wallabies’ rankings are thin ahead of a decider in Sydney next week. Australia lost Izzy Perese and Cadeyrn Neville to potentially serious knee injuries, while Jordan Perese, playing at full-back for the first time for the Wallabies, lasted only a few minutes before he was forced off and is likely to miss next week with a concussion. protocol. And substitute Scott Sio added to the carnage that followed moments after coming on with a shoulder injury. If that wasn’t bad enough – with the Wallabies missing Tom Banks to a broken arm in the win a week earlier – his replacement Andrew Kellaway revealed at half-time that he would be out for eight weeks with a hamstring injury sustained in training on Tuesday. . “I feel for those people,” said Samu Kerevi. “They work very ha...
