Some antiferromagnetic materials exhibit a non-zero magnetic moment at a temperature near absolute zero . This effect is ascribed to spin canting , a phenomenon through which spins are tilted by a small angle about their axis rather than being exactly co-parallel. Spin canting is due to two factors contrasting each ot...

Sponge grounds were already reported more than 150 years ago, [ 1 ] but the habitat was first fully recognized...

The sponge iron reaction (SIR) is a chemical process based on redox cycling of an iron-based contact mass, the first cycle is a conversion step between iron metal (Fe) and wuestite (FeO), the second cycle is a conversion step between wuestite (FeO) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ). [ 1 ] In application, the SIT is used in the...

Lacking an immune system , protective shell, or mobility, sponges have developed an ability to synthesize a variety of unusual compounds for survival. C- nucleosides isolated from Caribbean Cryptotethya crypta , were the basis for the synthesis of zidovudine ( AZT ), aciclovir ( Cyclovir ), cytarabine ( Depocyt ), and...

Spongin , a modified type of collagen protein , forms the fibrous skeleton of most organisms among the phylum Porifera , the sponges. It is secreted by sponge cells known as spongocytes. [ 1 ] Spongin gives a sponge its flexibility. True spongin is found only in members of the class Demospongiae . [ 2 ] Its molecular ...

Spongy degeneration of the central nervous system , also known as Canavan's disease , Van Bogaert-Bertrand type or Aspartoacylase (AspA) deficiency , is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder . [ 1 ] It belongs to a group of genetic disorders known as leukodystrophies , [ 1 ] where the growth and mainten...

Spontaneous absolute asymmetric synthesis is a chemical phenomenon that stochastically generates chirality based on autocatalysis and small fluctuations in the ratio of enantiomers present in a racemic mixture . [ 1 ] In certain reactions which initially do not contain chiral information , stochastically distributed en...

Spontaneous combustion or spontaneous ignition is a type of combustion which occurs by self-heating (increase in temperature due to exothermic internal reactions ), followed by thermal runaway (self heating which rapidly accelerates to high temperatures) and finally, autoignition . [ 1 ] It is distinct from (but has si...
