Water ice is not exactly known for its resilience. In fact, it is quite the opposite: hard and brittle, fragile and broken, thus causing avalanches and fragmentation of sea ice.
It's also why the new research is interesting. สล็อตออนไลน์ Scientists have recently grown microfibers of water ice that can bend into a loop – breaking the previous maximum stress by a significant percentage and opening up new possibilities for exploring ice physics.
Ice doesn't always behave as we expected. And flexibility - or indispensable - is a perfect example. In theory, it should have a maximum elastic stress of about 15 percent in the real world. The highest elastic stress ever measured was less than 0.3 percent. The reason for this discrepancy is that ice crystals have structural imperfections that drive their fragility.
Therefore, a research team led by nanoscientist Peizhen Xu from Zhejiang University in China is trying to create ice with minimal structural imperfections.The experiment consisted of a tungsten needle in an extremely cold chamber. Which is at a temperature of minus 50 degrees Celsius, which is much colder than before.
