Comments on the article

Everyone who works with the assembly of microcircuits, miniature parts and works with a low-power soldering iron with a thin rod knows how difficult it is to take a drop of solder on a tip from a rod thicker than the rod itself. Solder in the form of a thin wire remains in short supply for many today.

I offer a simple method for making thin strips of solder. To do this, you need an electric soldering iron with a power of at least 40 W with a tip with a diameter of more than 4 mm and a small sheet of glass. The glass surface should be washed with warm soapy water and dried.

Glass is placed horizontally or with a slight inclination towards itself. Taking a drop of solder with the tip of a heated soldering iron, with a quick uniform movement, the tip is passed over the glass. An even thin strip of solder remains on its surface and cools quickly. After acquiring some skill, you will be able to draw strips of different lengths and thicknesses.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Electrochemical transistors with unique properties 05.03.2023

An international research group at China's Northwest University has created an electrochemical transistor that conducts both ordinary electricity and ions. It is compatible with blood, ode and outdoor resistant. The development is based on a new kind of electronic polymer and a vertical rather than flat architecture. The scope of the novelty is wearable electronics, bioelectronics and medicine. The transistor is characterized by high performance, lightness and flexibility.

The new transistor has the ability to amplify meaningful signals, making it very useful for biomedical sensing. It will allow the development of wearable devices that can perform signal processing in situ - right in the biotech environment. Potential applications include monitoring heart rate, sodium and potassium levels in the blood, and tracking eye movements to study sleep disorders.

Vertical electrochemical transistor based on a new polymeric material. The development and synthesis of materials, as well as the manufacture and characterization of transistors, required the collaboration of chemists, materials scientists, biomedical scientists and engineers around the world.

Tobin J. Marks, world leader in materials science and organic electronics, professor of catalytic chemistry at the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, led the research team along with Antonio Facchetti, professor of chemistry at Weinberg. Wei Huang, a professor at the China University of Electronic Science and Technology, Jonathan Rivney, a professor of biomedical engineering at the McCormick School, and 17 other scientists participated in the development.

To create more reliable and powerful electronic circuits, two types of transistors are needed: p-type transistors, which carry a positive charge, and n-type transistors, which carry a negative charge. Chains consisting of them are called complementary. A problem that researchers have faced in the past has been that n-type transistors are difficult to manufacture and tend to be unstable.

This is the first work demonstrating electrochemical transistors of both types (p+n) with similar and very high performance, resulting in efficient electrochemical complementary circuits.
