Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

The sustainable way to recycle lithium-ion batteries 13.06.2021

Scientists from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Tennessee, USA) have found a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to existing methods of cathode material regeneration.

Currently, two methods are used to recover the cathode material of lithium-ion batteries for reuse - either by heating to a temperature of 500 ° C, or by using strong acids (nitric, sulfuric, hydrochloric) and hydrogen peroxide. The first method is very energy-intensive, while the second produces a lot of toxic by-products - chlorine, sulfur and nitrogen oxides.

The problem in isolating the cathode material is to separate it from the aluminum foil, the polymer substrate, and the carbon additive. To do this, it is necessary to dissolve the polymer - polyvinylidene fluoride. There are solvents that can do this, but using them is very harmful to the health of the staff.

By immersing the cathode material cut into small pieces in an ultrasonic bath filled with triethyl phosphate heated to 100°C, which is used as a solvent, the researchers were able to separate the constituent parts and obtain aluminum foil without traces of corrosion and a cathode material suitable for use in new batteries. At the same time, the capacity of the restored cathodes was 95,5% of the base one. The decrease in capacity is explained by the fact. that the recovered cathodes contain an admixture of polymer and carbon.

The invention allows to solve several problems: to reduce the cost of restoring lithium-ion batteries, to regenerate pure aluminum, which will reduce energy consumption by 33% in the production of electric vehicles and to obtain cathode material for reuse.
