"Pollutant Key to Advancing Carbon Nanotube Films for Tech Applications"
Skoltech scientists have discovered that treating carbon nanotube films with nitrogen dioxide at 300 degrees Celsius significantly enhances their electrical conductivity, transparency, and stability. This fast, scalable, and wasteless technique could improve the performance of solar panels, touchscreens, and other devices, offering a superior alternative to current doping agents.
Automakers May Finally Listen to Consumers and Correct Their Mistakes.
Some automakers are beginning to listen to consumer feedback and bring back physical buttons in their vehicles' infotainment systems, as many drivers find touchscreens distracting and dangerous. Porsche is leading the way with the 2024 Cayenne featuring buttons, and Volkswagen has acknowledged that consumer feedback played a role in this decision. However, many automakers are still focused on cutting costs and may not follow this trend unless it becomes financially beneficial.
The Importance of Buttons in Wearable Technology
Fitbit's attempt to replace physical buttons with an inductive button on its Charge 3, Charge 4, Versa 3, and Sense trackers proved to be a mistake. Users found the button unreliable and confusing, with haptic feedback causing more problems than it solved. Fitbit has since returned to physical buttons on its latest devices, but it may be too late as the company has been acquired by Google and faces competition from the Pixel Watch. Physical buttons remain important for wearables, providing dependability and predictability.
