  Richland WA (SPX) Jan 29, 2018 Materials scientists, led by a team at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, designed a tiny tube that rolls up and zips closed. These hollow nanotubes are thousands of times smaller than a strand of human hair and could help with water filtration, tissue engineering and many other applications. The tubes were inspired by protein structures called microtubules that reside in cells, according to PNNL's Chun-Long Chen. "The structure of the cell is so beautifu ... read more |
