In one liter of water, dissolve 500 g of nickel-ammonium sulfate and 600 g of ammonium chloride. Add a few drops of ammonia to the solution until the indicator paper turns red. Add a few crystals of citric acid. The solution is ready.

Thoroughly degrease copper or brass objects intended for nickel plating, tie them to a piece of aluminum wire and lower them into a boiling solution for 1-2 minutes. Turn objects periodically until they are completely nickel-plated. Then rinse them with water, wipe dry and polish with a cloth sprinkled with chalk powder.

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. ... >>

Optical nanoantennas and gold atoms 26.05.2021

In an attempt to get around this limitation, researchers are developing metal nanoantennas that concentrate light into a tiny volume to greatly amplify any signal coming from the same nanoscale region. Nanoantennas are the backbone of nanoplasmonics, a field that has a profound impact on biosensing, photochemistry, solar energy harvesting, and photonics.

Now, researchers at the ETH Lausanne, led by Prof. Christoph Galland of the School of Basic Sciences, have found that when green laser light strikes a gold nanoantenna, its intensity locally increases to the point that it "knocks" the gold atoms out of their equilibrium position. which maintains the integrity of the overall structure. The gold nanoantenna also amplifies very weak light scattered by newly formed atomic defects, making it visible to the naked eye.

Thus, this nanoscale dance of atoms can be observed as orange and red flashes of fluorescence, which are signatures of atoms undergoing rearrangement. "Such atomic-scale phenomena would be difficult to observe in situ, even using very sophisticated electron or X-ray microscopes, because clusters of gold atoms emitting flashes of light are buried inside a complex environment among billions of other atoms," says Galland.

The unexpected results raise new questions about the exact microscopic mechanisms by which weak continuous green light can set some gold atoms in motion.

"Answering these will be the key to bringing optical nanoantennas from the lab to the application world - and we're working on that," said Wen Chen, first author of the study.
