RE: What I learnt this week 18: Three-eyed beetles, Graphene super-sieves, Fungicidal nemesis, Bacterial arms race & Banana resistance!
Very, very interesting post. I especially liked the part about graphene. If you create in the future on its basis filters, we can obtain clean water from contaminated sources. This is a very promising direction.
About the bananas I was just upset. If they attack a nasty about which write, they will die. I love them.
I hope that scientists will not allow the deaths of banana trees.
It's said that the 'banana' flavour you taste when drinking, say, fake banana milkshake or banana candy s actually the taste of the original banana that used to be worldwide, the Gros Michel, which is why banana flavour never tastes like actual banana =D So yeah I hope we don't have to change to another species too, this one is clearly nicer than the Gross Michel
When I was younger banana flavoring was always my favorite. I never new that connection. I'd live to get some vintage Michel bananas... Maybe initiate a revival!
I was also interested in the information regarding graphene. I am curious to understand why water is able to pass through if other molecules that have similar properties to water may not pass. I would also like to understand what changes are made to the graphene that changes the permiability.
