A group of scientists have created crystals that make breathing underwater a reality. These \u201cAquaman Crystals\u201d not only help you live out underwater dreams these could be a major help to lung cancer patients to help sustain regular breathing levels.<\/p>\n
Scientists have figured out how to pack a room’s worth of oxygen into a bucket\u00a0full of crystals.\u00a0Unlike other substances that also react to oxygen, they\u2019re likening it to a sponge that can absorb and hold oxygen.<\/p>\n
A few grains of the crystal can almost be compared to an oxygen tank and will contain enough oxygen for one breath. The material will absorb oxygen from the water around the diver and supply the diver with it.<\/p>\n
Like having very few crystals to breathe underwater, the lung cancer patients would be able to breathe on land and the crystals will take oxygen from the surrounding air. With that they will be able to go free without their oxygen tank and instead have it switched out with a handful of crystals.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the dreams and fantasies of swimming with Ariel, fighting with Aquaman, or meeting Spongebob that make scientific advancement cool and oftentimes useful for medicine and human development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
