“In January 2018, the first ZBLAN optical fiber was manufactured on the International Space Station. When produced in a strong gravitational environment, such as Earth, exotic optical fiber is subject to tiny flaws. These crystals appear in the fiber and significantly increase signal loss. Commercial manufacturing of microgravity-enabled optical fiber has enormous potential, for both …
From almost 93 million miles away, our sun looks like a smooth yellow orb. But when looked at up close using powerful telescopes (ELS) which its mirrors are made of Zerodur glass-ceramics (Schott AG), you realize the sun is a very lively place full of turbulent gas, magnetic storms, and thermonuclear reactions—which, taken together, look …
This study evaluated the gene expression profile of the human adipose‐derived stem cells (hASCs) grown on the Biosilicate®/F18 glass scaffolds. It demonstrated that gene expression of hASCs grown on the scaffold surface showed significantly increased gene expression related to hASCs cultured with the ionic extract or the osteogenic medium, evidencing that the BioS‐2P/F18 scaffolds have …
