Yes, a nail in Styrofoam could work as a Cartesian diver, provided that the total density of the diver assembly (nail plus Styrofoam) is less than that of the fluid it's in. When you squeeze the container, the increased pressure compresses the air in the Styrofoam, making the diver denser and causing it to sink. Releasing the pressure allows the air to expand, decreasing the density and causing the diver to rise.

What is nail mantle?

The nail mantle, also known as the nail matrix, is the tissue located beneath the base of the nail, where new nail cells are produced. This area is crucial for nail growth, as it generates keratinocytes that form the hard structure of the nail. The health and function of the nail mantle directly affect the appearance and strength of the nails. Damage to the nail mantle can lead to issues such as nail deformities or growth problems.
