In the perpetual twilight of the Arctic, Nereis virens thrives, its form half-hidden in the shadowy waters, a ghostly presence in the silent ocean. Scale: close-up. Royalty-free licenses let you pay ...

Video about underwater sea worm Nereis virens, close up. Adaptation, survival, predatory behavior and aquatic life of marine invertebrates underwater sea worm Nereis virens. Royalty-free licenses let ...

Diggers harvest the worms from intertidal mud flats during low tide. The two species primarily harvested in Maine, the blood worm (Glycera dibranchiata) and the sandworm (Nereis virens) are packed in ...

One such example involves the proteinaceous jaw of the marine sandworm, Nereis virens. Previously, the mechanical properties of the N. virens jaw were shown to be modulated by Zn binding, a property ...

Seagrass ecosystems are highly productive, and are sites of significant carbon sequestration. Sediment-held carbon stocks can be many thousands of years old, and persist largely due to sediment anoxia ...

CHEMICAL ENGINEERS at MIT have developed a material which can change shape and rigidity depending on the conditions, inspired by the jaw of the ragworm, Nereis virens. The ragworm’s jaw is made of a ...

Boston: Scientists have used a synthesised protein to develop a new material that can get as hard as human bones or as flexible as gelatin depending on the environment around it, an advance which ...

“The material is a hydrogel made from a synthesised protein, similar to the one that makes up the jaw of the Nereis virens sea worm and which gives it structural stability and impressive mechanical ...
