The crystal lattice of ice and water

In 1910, the American physicist P. Bridgman and the German researcher G. Tamman discovered that ice can form several polymorphic crystalline modifications. Now 9 modifications of ice are known, they have different crystal lattices, different densities and melting points. The ice we all know well is called "ice I", other modifications of ice exist at pressures exceeding 2000 atm. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Functions of monocytes: causes of increase and decrease, structure and function

When we receive a complete blood count, we cannot figure it out without the help of a doctor. Meanwhile, some indicators need to be known in order to at least a little navigate the situation. A separate column in the analysis form is the number of monocytes, which monitors the patient's recovery. For example, if after suffering a sore throat, an increased number of monocytes persists for a long time, then the doctor may suggest the development of incipient rheumatoid inflammation.

Gnomon is the simplest sundial

Gnomon is an ancient astronomical instrument that allows you to determine the angular height of the sun by the smallest length of the shadow of its column. Such peculiar watches were created a long time ago, they helped to determine the time on a sunny day. The sun here just plays a key role, more precisely, the shadow from it. In other words, the gnomon is the simplest sundial. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Protein: tertiary structure. Violation of the tertiary structure of the protein

The tertiary structure of a protein is the way in which a polypeptide chain is folded in three-dimensional space. This conformation arises due to the formation of chemical bonds between amino acid radicals remote from each other. This process is carried out with the participation of the molecular mechanisms of the cell and plays a huge role in giving proteins functional activity. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01
