In a recently published paper (doi.org/10.3390/molecules26113116) on self-propelled motion of objects on the water surface, we described a novel surface-active plastic material obtained by dissolution of camphor and ...

We describe a novel plastic material composed of camphene, camphor, and polypropylene that seems perfectly suited for studies on self-propelled objects on the water surface. Self-motion is one of the attributes of life, ...

A new material that combines the self-propelling properties of camphor with the malleability of camphene is reported. It has wax-like mechanical properties at room temperature and can be formed into required shapes. The ...

Droplets of paraffin can show self-motion when powered by camphor. We investigated the motion of such droplets when varying concentrations of camphor and the dye, Oil Red O, as well as the droplet volume. Experiments have ...

Schizophrenia is the most common form of psychotic behaviour where patients experiences hallucination, dillusion or chaotic speech. Schizophrenia is difficult to detect and easily go undetected for years. Here we propose the ...

Chemical reactions are responsible for information processing in living organisms, yet biomimetic computers are still at the early stage of development. The bottom-up design strategy commonly used to construct semiconductor ...

Chemical computing is something we use every day (e.g., in the brain), but we can still not explore and master its potential in human-made experiments. It is expected that the maximum computational efficiency of a chemical ...

Schizophrenia is one of the most common mental disorders, however it is difficult to detect and can remain undiagnosed for years. It is believed that information if a patient is ill can be extracted from EEG signals recorded ...
