- Firerouge 8y agoIt turns out it's somewhat difficult to preserve three dimensional shape when making slides for microscopes
- pasbesoin 8y agoReminds me of the growing realization -- in concert with the growing ability to model and image -- that DNA has significant function "in the third" (and, I'd say, fourth) dimension. How it's positioned influences how it behaves -- not just how it is constructed in terms of traditional direct chemical/molecular bonds. And now, for the mind / nervous system, scientists are hypothesizing quantum mechanical functional components or aspects. Whenever a problem or physical model is "understood"... well, personal, anecdotal, experience has taught me to... not view any such thing as "done", beyond immediate, practical, and -- within exactly that context -- sufficient applications.
