In that peaceful seaside town, the sunlight was sprinkled on the scattered and orderly houses, and the sea breeze gently blew the palm trees on the street. Tom, a 17-year-old boy, lived in this place of the ocean atmosphere. Since he was a child, he had been fascinated by the boundless sea. Tom's father was a determined fisherman who had been with the sea all year round. Every time his father returned from a sea voyage, he would tell him the adventures at sea. These stories were like magic seeds, planting a deep love for the sea in Tom's heart. The small sailboat named "Seagull" in Tom's family carried countless childhood memories of his. Every scratch on the weathered boat recorded the adventure time they spent together.

One morning, as the sun was just peeking over the horizon, Tom received an invitation. It was from the local sailing club, inviting him to participate in a challenging long-distance sailing race that would take place in two weeks. The race promised not only a handsome trophy (奖杯) but also a scholarship to a top maritime (海事的) academy, which could help him achieve his dream of becoming a professional sailor.

At first, Tom was overjoyed. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he imagined himself driving his Seagull through the waves with grace and finally across the finish line. However, as the day progressed, doubts began to creep into his mind. He remembered the last time when he participated in a similar race, strong wind howled and the Seagull shook violently in the waves. Although he managed to complete the race, the fear of that frightening moment still lingered.

That night, Tom lay in bed, listening to the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore. He tossed and turned, with the vision of victory and the fear of the storm flashing in his mind. On one hand, he imagined himself standing on the podium (领奖台), accepting the cheers from the crowd. On the other hand, the memory of the storm and the fear of facing another dangerous situation made his heart tighten suddenly.

Recently, Adam Clancy, a chemist at University College London has published the recipe for a sort of pasta (意大利面) — "nanotini", is only 372 nanometers wide and is only comprised two ingredients: flour and formic acid (甲酸). Clancy says it is skinniest pasta yet made, but he doesn't intend to create special s for Italian restaurants. Instead, his team are conducting research on starch (淀粉) nanofibers to make better bandages.

Ideal wound dressings aren't simple (barrier). They should also speed recovery. Starch nanofibers from plants have such advantages. Starch nanofibers can help the wound heal (incredible) faster than common ones. Because starch can promote the cells around injuries to grow. Also, starch has another natural strength. (extract) from green plants, it is one of the most common organic substances on the planet.

Previously, nanofibers (produce) from purified starch from corn and rice. This is the first time (employ) white flour. To make it, Clancy' s team first put the flour in acid. It broke up the starch bits so they could turn into thin strings. Next was a delicate, hours-long sequence of (heat) and cooling. followed was a complex process using electric charge. Finally, as the acid dried quickly in the air, the starch chains formed solid and the world's smallest pasta was born.
