  1. Typhur Dome 2: The Self-Cleaning Air Fryer That Asks a Premium for its Innovations

    The Typhur Dome 2 air fryer costs more than $300. It has a self-cleaning feature and uses safer materials. Is it worth the high price?

  3. Please also like my newest #YouTube #video, showing some #behaviors of the #beetle #Mimela #junii (#Scarabaeidae), which is a #neozoon in #CentralEurope and Germany. It originally is #native to the #Mediterranean region. My video shows #selfcleaning behavior, #locomotion, #flying ssprcts and response to threat (#thanatosis).

  8. Surfaces designed to hide their heat signature often stop working once they get dirty.

    This study creates a microstructured coating that maintains its infrared properties because impacting water droplets actively remove contaminants.

    “ you don’t use the self-cleaning feature do you? “.

    Oh no - sounds like the "self-cleaning" overheats the appliance. 😶‍🌫️

  13. Even freshwater contains trace salts and minerals that cause scaly buildups as they evaporate. Getting rid of the scale usually requires toxic chemicals and/or lots of scrubbing, neither of which are desirable at the industrial level. At the same time, we’re extremely limited in the amount of freshwater that we have available; only about 1% of Earth’s water is liquid and fresh. If we could use salt water in more industrial processes, that would preserve freshwater for drinking and agriculture. But how do we tackle the scaly buildup?

    (A) On microtextured surfaces, salt from evaporating drops can work its way into the gaps, destroying the superhydrophobicity of the surface. (B) In contrast, nanotextured surfaces give the salt nowhere to adhere, resulting in “salt critters” that grow upward and detach.

    Enter “salt critters.” Researchers found that when salt water evaporated from microtextured surfaces designed to shed water, salt would eventually build up in the gaps, breaking the hydrophobic effect and allowing scale to build up. In contrast, a nanotextured surface left nowhere for the salt to adhere. On these surfaces, evaporating salt water built jellyfish-like salt critters that rose from the surface and, eventually, broke off and rolled away, leaving the surface pristine. (Image credit: S.
