CRY and you can make ELECTRICITY .......

in #science7 years ago

Since 19th century physicist Pierre and Jacques Curie discovered lysozyme researchers have been expirementing. Published on the 2 October 2017 the University of Limerick-Ireland had done some pretty amazing research. They said that a tear can produce electricity.They found an enzyme in the tear called lysozyme; which is an anti bacterial that attacks the cell wall of the bacteria making them rather weak or fragile. These anti bacterial are found in saliva,mucus, egg whites, milk and tears. When this substance(lysozyme) crystallizes it forms piezoelectricity meaning it can be converted to mechanical electricity but creating an electric charge. 

 "This is a new approach, as scientists so far have tried to understand piezoelectricity in  biology using complex hierarchical structures such as tissues, cells or  polypeptides rather than investigating simpler fundamental building  blocks." " says lead researcher, Professor  Tofail Syed, from  the University's Physics Department 


 

Desde el siglo XIX, el físico Pierre y Jacques Curie descubrieron que los investigadores de lisozima han estado expirando. Publicado el 2 de octubre de 2017 la Universidad de Limerick-Irlanda había hecho algunas investigaciones bastante sorprendente. Dijeron que una lágrima puede producir electricidad. Encontraron una enzima en la lágrima llamada lisozima; que es un antibacteriano que ataca la pared celular de las bacterias haciéndolas bastante débiles o frágiles. Estos anti bacterianos se encuentran en la saliva, moco, claras de huevo, leche y lágrimas. Cuando esta sustancia (lisozima) cristaliza, forma piezoelectricidad, lo que significa que puede convertirse en electricidad mecánica, pero creando una carga eléctrica.


 "Este es un nuevo enfoque, ya que los científicos hasta ahora han tratado de entender la piezoelectricidad en biología usando estructuras jerárquicas complejas como tejidos, células o polipéptidos en lugar de investigar bloques fundamentales más simples". "dice el investigador principal, profesor Tofail Syed, del departamento de la física de la universidad
