Materials Science
,
Scientific Archaeology
A team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has shown how sea urchins grow new spines. The sea urchin’s tough, brittle spines are an engineering wonder. Composed of a single crystal from base to needle-sharp tip, they grow back within a few days after being broken off. Now, a team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has shown how they do it.
