This has been very difficult to study as the inner ear is protected by the hardest bone in the body. But with the help of synchrotron X-rays, it is now possible to depict details inside the ear three-dimensionally. Researchers have now used the method to map the blood vessels of the inner ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200409140031.htm Apr. 9, 2020 The antimicrobial properties of silver have been known for centuries.
