I sure hope it's not microwave popcorn since microwaves create radiation! Also popcorn is made from GMOs aka Monsanto Death Kernels!
MMMMmmmmmMMMMM!!! Microwaved Monsanto Death Kernels, with Sriracha Sauce!
Damn, that actually sounds pretty tasty.
Surface area to volume ratio found to affect rate of dissolution, details at 11.
Unfortunately it's not nearly that simple. If pills were simply dropped into a static solution and allowed to dissolve, you'd be right. The problem is that mechanical mixing occurs in the stomach, something which varies a lot from individual to individual.
Pharmaceutical companies work very hard to try to make generic pill formats that ensure consistent delivery. They test the dissolution rates in stirred beakers and try to correlate those results to delivery rates in animal models and human testing. Even if they hit upon the right shape, some percentage of patients will not get correct dosage delivery due to their stomach physiology. The ability to print a more (or less) dissoluble form would help these patients.
I've been dead since 2009 and I'm still posting Slashdot comments.
I hope you get better soon!
Nothing to see here. Generating stations, nuclear or otherwise, trip off line when major changes in load occur.
Oh, but right.., it's NOOCOOLAR POWAH! It must mean a near-miss meltdown and a cover up! I'll get my potassium iodide pills and my tinfoil hat and make some popcorn.
Look! It's one of those cute little pocket sharks! I'll name him George and I'll kiss him and hug him and squeeze him and put him here in my pocket (hee hee! where he belongs!) *CHOMP* OWW! WTF! a shark in my pocket bit my finger, the little bastard! Turn this bitch into chum ASAP!
OWW, that hurt.
