Every day, we work in cooperation with eight universities in order to keep preserving it, and to try to pass this masterpiece to the next generation.Painted between
17、 1494 and 1498, The Last S叩per marked a “new era* in the history of art. Rostagno, 47, a conservation of architectural heritage professor with the Politccnico University in Milan, said the painting is still in extraordinary condition, considering its great weakness. This is an evidence of five centu

21、 used to describe this theoretical material. But it wasnt until 2004 that two researchers at Britains University of Manchester were able to isolate graphene from a block of graphite. Their work earned them a Nobel Prize for physics in 2010 fbr their experiments with the thinnest, strongest material
22、ever.Graphene may be just one atom thick, but it is remarkably strong. It is much stronger than steel, and a better conductor of electricity than copper. Since it is only one atom thick, it absorbs very little light, which makes graphene almost perfectly transparent （透明 fl-J）. This amazing combinati
23、on of properties means that graphene has the potential to completely change everything we use on a daily basis.With so many potential applications, the demand for graphene is sure to be great. However, before graphene can be made in large quantities, two problems must be solved. First, the current m
24、ethod fbr making graphene is very expensive. It costs about S100 to make just one gram of the material. Second, the method requires the use of substances that are poisonous to human beings and the environment.Recently, a team of Australian and Indian researchers have announced the discovery of a new
25、 method that solves both problems. Instead of poisonous substances, the technique uses a chemical obtained from the bark of eucalyptus （校树）trees. This chemical poses no threat io humans or the environment. In addition, it can be obtained cheaply and in large quantities from eucalyptus trees, which g

In other cases, its packaged food that is nearing the “sell-by date printed on the package. After the sell-by date passes, the food is not considered safe to cat. Thus, many stores throw out unso
