Stormy Social media can be a tempting distraction.
It’s a pretty common
04-08-2024 experience to want to pick up your phone whenever you can’t focus or
need a quick break. But you may find yourself struggling with endless
doomscrolling, waiting for messages or comparing yourself to others.
How do you disconnect from social media?
Dewgong This is a great question! I’m going to be honest here and admit that I
05-08-2024 often fail at disconnecting from social media (predominantly just TikTok).
But I am trying harder to set boundaries and give myself a break!
Lightning I deleted Instagram a few weeks ago and have found a profound impact
07-08-2024 on my mental health. Since deleting it, I am not constantly comparing
myself to others anymore. I can appreciate little things more as I’m not
bombarded with information.
Infinity For me, I am not active on social media but yes, as you said sometimes
16-08-2024 we keep scrolling and watching. I noticed I was spending hours of my
time scrolling through reels to wind down, only to realize I had wasted my
time.
Ironman Thanks for posting about this! I often find myself doomscrolling social
20-08-2024 media during the night when I feel like I haven’t found time for myself
during the day. It definitely has had impacts on my sleep schedule and
I’m not proud of it, but I have been able to reduce the use of social media
in the past few months.
Golden This is a really good post. I am curious to hear what others have to say
28-08-2024 on the topic. I definitely could use less social media by installing Flora

At Frieze London this year, three large artworks by the artist Nengi Omuku were
hung away from the walls so viewers could walk around them. With each work, one side
offered a vibrant nature-filled painting. The other presented strips of sanyan, a thick
traditional Nigerian fabric that Omuku uses to replace the usual canvas fabric painters often
used as their base. “The fact I’m painting on a vintage surface gives soul to my work,”
Omuku said over Zoom two days before the fair opened. For the 37-year-old, the fabric she
works on has become as crucial as her paintings themselves. “Even when it’s not a vintage
surface, it is a surface that has been made collaboratively with craftsmen from Nigeria.”
Omuku’s reason to use sanyan initially came from a place of necessity, but has now
become an integral part of her practice. “I worked on canvas for a little while, but eventually
shifted to working on sanyan, which is a pre-colonial Yoruba textile,” she told CNN in a video
call, adding that she “made the switch” after eight years of studying in the UK. “I was trying
to rediscover myself and my identity,” she said. “When I moved back to Nigeria, I couldn’t
find high-quality canvas, and I was also really fascinated by how, as Nigerians, we identify
ourselves through our clothes.” However, she found sanyan more appealing than other more
contemporary fabrics. “I’d never seen a pre-colonial Nigerian textile before, and it looked
quite similar to linen.”

When a banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $120,000 in 2019, social media uproar
and an age-old debate about the meaning of fart ensued. However, artist Maurizio Cattelan’s
surreal creation, titled “Comedian”, may yet prove a sound investment. On Friday, auction
house Sotheby’s announced 1 million to $1.5 million. I doubt that it will be sold at this high
price.
For their money, the winning bidder will receive a roll of duct tape and one banana.
They will also receive a certificate of authenticity and official instructions for installing the
work. Sotheby’s confirmed to CNN that neither the tape nor the banana are the originals.
“Comedian” is a conceptual artwork, and the physical materials are replaced with every
installation,” an auction spokesperson said via email.
Cattelan and French art gallery Perrotin made headlines around the world five years
ago when they displayed “Comedian” with a six-figure asking price at the Art Basel Miami
Beach fair. The original was created using a banana bought in a Miami grocery store, though
the gallery said it could be replaced, as per the artist’s instruction’s.

Text 3
Scientists have made a new type of nanogenerator. These devices are very energy-
efficient and [Link] can increase power density 140 times more than regular ones. They
think this could make small devices as good as today’s solar panel. The new nanogenerator
can turn small movements, like walking or opening a door, into a lot of electricity. For
example, if a regular nanogenerator makes 10 milliwatts, this one can make over 1,000
milliwatts.
The nanogenerator works like a relay race. Instead of one part passing energy
atoms, each part collects and adds energy before passing it on. This boosts the total energy
collected. This process is called the charge regeneration effect. The lead researcher said
they wanted to capture energy from everyday movements, like running, walking, or waves.
Their device uses 34 tiny energy collectors, improved with a laser technique, which can be
made in large numbers.
This type of nanogenerator is called a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENS). It turns
simple movements into electricity by using special materials. These special materials get
electrically charged when they touch (ADA KONTAK) and seperate, line how a balloon
sticks to hair. The researchers said they would start a company to make healthcare sensors
using this technology.
It is also said that with more technology, soon there would be over 50 billion devices
needing power. Local green energy solutions are important to ensure sustainable future.
This technology can use mechanical movements to power small devices. It could be used in
smart homes, security systems, and healthcare to help patients.

The triboelectric effect happens when two materials touch and then separate. It is like
when you rub a balloon on your hair and it sticks because of static electricity. When two
different things touch, electrons move from one to the other. This makes one thing positively
charged and the other negatively charged. This effect builds up these charges.
Triboelectric devices, also called triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), use this effect
to make energy. They use the static charge made when materials touch and then separate.
TENG can change mechanical energy from movement or vibration into electrical energy.
These devices are made of pairs of materials with opposite triboelectric properties. When
they touch and then separate, they create voltage and current, which can be used to make
energy.
Triboelectric devices have many uses. They can turn energy from everyday
activities, like walking, into power for small gadgets. TENG can also change body
movements into electricity for small usable devices. By using energy from wind or water,
they can help sensors monitor the movements.
This technology can run gadgets that power themselves. The use of TENG in various
devices can reduce or even replace the use of conventional batteries. Furthermore, this
means reducing the waste from conventional battery products.
