SCIENCE UPDATES

1.Revolutionary Biodegradable Pellet Targets Glue Ear Infection
 A revolutionary biodegradable pellet which slowly releases antibiotics into the middle ear could transform the lives of thousands of children who suffer from glue ear. 
2.Lattice of Magnetic Vortices: Researchers Find Magnetic Skyrmions in Atomically Thin Metal Film 
Physicists at Hamburg and Kiel University and the Forschungszentrum Jülich have found for the first time a regular lattice of magnetic skyrmions – cycloidal vortex spin structures of exceptional stability – on a surface. This fascinating magnetic structure was discovered experimentally at the University of Hamburg by spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscopy and imaged on the atomic scale. 
3. First True View of Global Erosion
Every mountain and hill shall be made low, declared the ancient prophet Isaiah. In other words: erosion happens. But for the modern geologist a vexing question remains: how fast does this erosion happen? 
 4.Watermark Ink' Device Identifies Unknown Liquids Instantly
Materials scientists and applied physicists collaborating at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have invented a new device that can instantly identify an unknown liquid.
