TOUCH: Creating interactional artefacts in a physical world [PDF]
, 2000 The maxim states that seeing is believing but that it is touch that determines reality. Instinctively wereach out to touch those objects that attract or perplex. Touch conveys an intimacy both at a physicaland emotional level.

FastNano Liquid: An Automated Platform for Small‐Angle X‐ray Scattering‐Based Materials Discovery
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.We present FastNano Liquid, an automated small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering platform for the combined synthesis and characterization of (nano)materials. The platform is coupled to varied reactor workflows for both in situ studies of reaction kinetics and ex situ screening of synthesis conditions to support machine learning‐guided exploration ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 Chemoattractant cytokines or chemokines constitute a family of structurally related proteins found in vertebrates, bacteria, or viruses. So far, 48 chemokine genes have been identified in humans, which bind to around 20 chemokine receptors. These receptors belong to the seven transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor family.

The No-Touch Taboos: An Understanding of Sexuality and Gender in the Indian Context
IAFOR Journal of Arts & Humanities, 2020 The sensation of touch and the need for physical contact are fundamental in the development of human behaviour. As an intimate medium of communication, tactile interactions between men and women can make their social bonds more profound.

Scholarpedia, 2009 Among the four somesthetic qualities of touch, warmth, coolness, and pain described by Mountcastle (2005), touch is the most difficult to define due to its multimodality. The sense of touch is enabled by “afferents sensitive to mechanical stimulation of the skin; they provide signals to the brain concerning the form, texture, location, intensity ...
