#Electrical Conductor

[intelligentliving]

A solid-state battery, which uses solid electrolytes and electrodes to carry the charge rather than a liquid alternative, promises several performance benefits. However, these batteries have some issues that scientists at Brown University are overcoming. The scientists developed a new design that skips some of the main hurdles, using a...

Framework structure with nanoscopic insulation enables components for soft robotics and flexible electronics

Classical robots, such as those used for manufacturing, can lift heavy loads and repeat automated processes precisely. But they are too rigid and bulky for delicate work and interaction with humans. The research field of soft robotics works on the development of robots made of soft, organic materials and flexible technical components. Materials researchers at Kiel University have now developed a novel soft conductive material.

Unlike conventional soft conductors, it shows remarkably stable electrical properties even upon deformation. The reason for this is the special structure of the material and a nanoscopic insulating thin film coating. The research team published its results in the current issue of the journal Advanced Functional Materials.

Constant electrical resistance even during deformation

Unlike classical robots, humans and animals can perform fluid and fine movements and adapt them to their environment. Inspired by nature, soft robotics therefore relies on elastic, organic materials made of carbon instead of conventional, rigid metals. In addition, soft robots need elastic electrical conductors for communication between their sensors and actuators.

anyways this is what i’ve got so far

some soulmate pairs are together some aren’t

i am actually thinking now that maybe ren has the same path as martyn where he goes from homeworld aligned to joining the off colours and bigb can join the crystal gems because of grian ?? but either way they don’t feel like the kind to stay homeworld gems for long

ive never posted him here which is absurd bc hes been in my mind for so damn long but here is. a silly distortion for eva. i dont know that much yet abt distortion (i am chugging along in ruina slowl y . . .) so i just made him based on his meltdown form and went from there

the first pic is the first thing i ever drew of him and hes changed a bit since then but most of the stuff i draw of him is gay people. ft my fwiend ozzy’s atlas

Electrically conductive paints and other polymer alloys now produced easily

Medical devices, cars, and many advanced technologies contain innumerable delicate components that are held together by electrically conductive polymers, such as polyaniline. For several decades, synthesis of polyaniline for industrial electronics applications has faced a major limitation: what solvent best facilitates synthesis? This abstract question is important for minimizing the cost and complexity of polyaniline production and facilitating useful properties such as shaping. The ability to use a range of cheap, low-boiling-point solvents would greatly assist versatile polymer processing modes such as inkjet printing, but had remained elusive until now.

In a study recently published in Polymer-Plastics Technology and Materials, researchers from the University of Tsukuba and collaborating partners have synthesized polyaniline in various common solvents. This improved ability to synthesize and process polyaniline will greatly simplify production and lower manufacturing costs.

"Polyaniline is an extremely versatile polymer in routine and advanced technologies, but restrictions on which solvents can be used for synthesis have long hindered this versatility," explains Professor Hiromasa Goto, senior author. "Our discovery of how to facilitate polymerization in diverse solvents will be useful in basic research and industrial applications."

Lemon tree very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon

Is really fucking neat

Over the years, scientists worldwide have been working to bioengineer blood vessels that could help us study diseases, replace blocked vessels in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease, or treat kidney failures. Now, scientists in Switzerland and China have joined forces to develop an implantable medical device that imitates blood vessels’...

Electricity Vocabulary

Electrostatic = electricity at rest

Conduction = when objects are in direct contact with each other, electrons move from one to the other

Friction = rubbing two surfaces, and electrons move from one surface to another

Ohms = units for electrical resistance

Amperes = units for current

Conductor = a material that allows electrical current to pass

Insulator = a material that doesn’t allow electrical current to pass
