Yale Engineering: A cheaper, sustainable alternative to carbon fiber. “Researchers in the lab of Professor Liangbing Hu … have found a way to upgrade cheaper material into something comparable to carbon fibers. And in doing so, they managed to put the greenhouse gas methane to good use, as well as produce hydrogen as a clean side product.”

Penn State University: Move over cassette tapes, adhesive tape has memory, too. “In everyday life, combination locks must remember the turns of the dial to open, and the memory of specialized materials is used to make airplanes safer, electronics more efficient and bridges stronger and more resilient. Now, researchers at Penn State have demonstrated that ordinary adhesive tape has a specialized […]

And the Akracing gaming footstool is also covered. I hate pleather - it’s about 5 years old, but should not be breaking down like this. Even if it is in constant use. It has been the best, most comfy ‘ergonomic’ work - and gaming - seat set I’ve ever sat upon (multi-inflammation-illnesses makes sitting troublesome).
The other one in the flat - AKRacing’s ‘business line’ - used a woven fabric which is fine.
Additionally, all the plastic collars around the gas lifts on all the chairs and stools have shattered as they got brittle. need to think of a reasonable cat-fur protection layer for that too … suggestions welcome! (Note - fabric *attracts* Johnny’s fine fur)
