Columbia University researchers have discovered a new class of matter called hydration solids, challenging the fundamental understanding of biological materials.
Lead author Ozgur Sahin, a Biological Sciences and Physics professor, describes this discovery as a unifying scientific revelation. The team found that the
What makes this research even more remarkable is the simplicity of the mathematical formulas that the team developed to describe the behavior of organic materials in relation to water. Previous models relied on complex computer simulations, but the newfound simplicity suggests a profound breakthrough. Even G. Harrellson, one of the study's authors, notes that the answers became simpler as they delved deeper into the project, a rarity in scientific endeavors.
As Sahin and his team investigated the mysteries surrounding spore behavior, they began to suspect that the hydration force played a crucial role in water movement within spores. After conducting further experiments, they realized that hydration forces were the missing link, providing a comprehensive explanation for the observed phenomena.
Moreover, the outer skin of animals and bacterial and fungal spores are also influenced by hydration forces. By introducing the term "hydration solids," the researchers offer a new perspective on these materials, emphasizing the importance of water in their composition.
