Abaphuhlisi bathetha ngamathemba okusebenzisa itekhnoloji enjalo
Abaqeshwa beDyunivesithi yaseCalifornia eSan Diego yenze irobhothi ehamba-robhothi, enokwazi ukubuyisela umzimba wabo emva kokophula. Inqaku lenzululwazi lapapashwa kwijenali Nano.
Kuyaziwa ukuba iilaphu zezinto eziphilayo zinokuphinda ziphinde zenziwe ngokutsha emva kokonzakele kwaye ziphule. Iinjineli ziye zazama ukubeka into enjalo yeerobhothi iminyaka emininzi, kodwa ayikabikho iziphumo ezinomtsalane. Kuyaphawuleka ukuba itekhnoloji echazwe kwisifundo esitsha izisa izezinzulu ukuze zikwazi ukudala iirobhothi.
Ngexesha lomsebenzi, kwadalwa iirobhothi ezincinci, ukuba neendlela zentlanzi kwaye zikwazi ukuhamba kwindawo engamanzi, esenza imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo. Iirobhothi ezinjalo azinakho ukucoca indalo esingqongileyo kungcoliseko, kodwa zithutha iziyobisi ukuba zibe ngumzimba wesigulana okanye ukwenza imisebenzi yoqhaqho.
Ngaphambili, iirobhothi ezinjalo zokubhukuda zenziwa ngokusetyenziswa kwee-polymers kunye ne-hydrogels, kodwa ziphawulwa rhoqo ngamatye kunye neekhefu. Ukusombulula le ngxaki, izazinzulu zagqiba kwelokuba "ukufundisa" iintlanzi zerobhoti ngokwazo zibuyise. Oku kufezekisiwe ngenkcitho yezinto ezintsha zezinto ezibonakalayo, apho iindawo ezingaphezulu nezezantsi zinenxalenye esebenzayo, kunye nomgaqo wemibala yemagnethi. Umaleko ophakathi wanempembelelo ye-hydraulic.
Ukuhamba kwerobhothi, umsila uphendulwe, uyilo lwalo longezwe iPlatinem. Xa ujoyine impendulo eneepetroli ze-hydrogen, intsimbi esenziwe i-oxygen gubves esusa irobhothi phambili.
Ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza kwetekhnoloji, izazinzulu zahlula-hlula uyilo lwerobhothi ibe ziinxalenye ezintathu kwaye zabeka kwisitya se-petrige ngesisombululo esibuthathaka se-hydrogen peroxide. Ngaphandle kokulahleka komphambili, umsila wentlanzi waqhubeka nokuhamba ecaleni kwekomityi de kufike ukuhlangana kwakhona kunye nendawo yonke yesakhiwo senzekileyo. Ngokutsho kwenzululwazi, itekhnoloji enjalo kwixesha elizayo kunokuba luncedo ekudalweni kwezixhobo ezicoca indalo, kunye nezixhobo zemveliso.
