🔎 Self-Healing Glass Discovered

Researchers → have discovered that mixing a peptide with water creates a self-assembling, self-healing glass.

Peptides, smaller chains of amino acids, usually form crystalline structures. However, this accidental discovery revealed that a specific dipeptide forms a glass-like, transparent material. This new glass is not only strong and transparent but also self-healing and adhesive.

Potential applications include lenses, glass panes, and coatings for hydrophilic surfaces. Remarkably, it requires less energy to produce than traditional glass, opening doors to sustainable manufacturing.

🤖 Express Yourself with Qudi Mask 2

Developers have introduced the Qudi Mask 2 → , a wearable gadget that projects your emotions onto a digital display, hiding your identity while expressing your feelings.

The advanced mask replicates facial expressions in real time using LED technology, featuring over 30 different moods. It responds to head movements, with nods and shakes triggering corresponding expressions.

While it’s a fun and innovative concept, practical use in serious situations like meetings or dates remains questionable. With a battery life of up to three hours, it’s more of a novelty than a practical everyday tool. Priced at $129, the Qudi Mask 2 is set to ship worldwide by December 2024—just in time for holiday parties where you might want to hide your social exhaustion behind a digital smile.
