CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – For the first time in 773 days, the Ohio Valley Conference baseball tournament was back in action when No. 4-seeded Austin Peay faced No. 1-seeded Southeast Missouri State Thursday at The Ballpark at Jackson.
Both teams’ offenses slugged it out to the tune of five total home runs, but it was the OVC regular-season champion Redhawks who came out on top, 11-8.
The Governors will look to regroup in short order when they take on the loser of Murray State-Morehead State tomorrow at 3 p.m. back here at The Ballpark at Jackson. pic.twitter.com/1J9nu2MO04

Researchers merged micro- and nano-sized networks of the same materials harnessed from seaweed to create 3D-printable gels with improved and highly controlled properties.
The printed jelly could have applications in biomedical materials think biological scaffolds for growing cells and soft robotics.

Nature Communications, the findings show that these water-based gels called homocomposite hydrogels are both strong and flexible. They are composed of alginates chemical compounds found in seaweed and algae and commonly used as thickening agents and in wound dressings.
Merging different-size scale networks of the same alginate together eliminates the fragility that can sometimes occur when differing materials are merged together in a hydrogel, says Orlin Velev, professor of chemical and biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University and corresponding author of the paper.

3D-printable gels with improved and highly controlled properties can be created by merging micro- and nano-sized networks of the same materials harnessed from seaweed, according to new research from North Carolina State University.
