In addition to high #SolarFlare activity, there’s another thing to watch for on the Sun - a huge filament of plasma, arching through the Sun’s atmosphere. Should it erupt, the filament is currently in a prime location to impact Earth and trigger a geomagnetic storm! #spaceweather

Certain body parts—like the heart, cartilage, and joints—can wear out or become damaged, and treatment options are limited.
However, a new, strong, stretchy, and sticky material could serve as a "Band-Aid" for tissue damage, with potential applications beyond medicine.
