Leather Processing Industry In Dhaka
July 4, 2025, Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Workers process raw hides at a tannery in Hazaribagh an industrial facility where animal skins, mainly from cows and goats, are transformed into usable leather. Through a series of chemical and mechanical treatments, the hides are made suitable for crafting a wide range of products such as shoes, bags, suitcases, belts, wallets, and jackets.

Camouflage inspired by the colour changing skin of squids is being developed to help soldiers stay out of sight on the battlefield.
Boffins are developing a stretchable material that mimics the colour-shifting ability of the longfin inshore squid.
They say it could one day help troops slip past visual and thermal detection.
The project is being funded by the USA’s defence research agency, DARPA.
It is a joint study by the University of California, Irvine and the US-based research centre, the Marine Biological Laboratory.
The longfin squid uses light-reflecting cells called iridophores to instantly shift between transparency and colour.
This natural survival tactic now forms the basis of the synthetic stealth material with potential military use.
Inside the cells, coils of a protein called reflectin act like natural mirrors, manipulating how light reflects off the squid’s skin.
The researchers have captured the first 3D images of this nano-architecture revealing the intricate architecture.
OPS:Photos and thermal camera images of the squid-inspired composite materials chnaging appearance while being stretched (top) and soaked in water (bottom) both above a heated surface.

Sensitive skin to give robots the human touch

Pictures must credit: University of Cambridge
Scientists have developed a low-cost, durable, highly-sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that can be added to robotic hands enabling robots to detect information about their surroundings in a way that’s similar to humans.
The UK researchers, from the University of Cambridge and University College London say the conductive skin is easy to fabricate and can be melted down and formed into a wide range of complex shapes.
The artificial skin is packed with ultra-sensitive sensors that detect pressure, texture, temperature and even “pain-like signals.”
The skin is made from an electrolysed hydrogel with electrodes embedded around the wrist.
Electrical fields generated across the skin detect different types of stimulation.
These sensors monitor thousands of bits of information which detect
where the stimulation is and the type.
Although the robotic skin is not as sensitive as human skin, it can detect signals from over 860,000 tiny pathways in the material.
It can recognise different types of touch and pressure – like the tap of a finger, a hot or cold surface, damage caused by cutting or stabbing, or multiple points being touched at once – in a single material.

The world’s first wearable device for measuring skin health including monitoring wounds, has been developed by researchers.
It analyses gases emitted and absorbed by the body’s largest organ.
The compact device is said to be able to also detect infections, track hydration levels, quantifying exposure to harmful environmental chemicals and more.
The new technology comprises a collection of sensors that precisely measure changes in temperature, water vapour, carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds , which each give valuable insight into various skin conditions and overall health.
These gases flow into a small chamber within the device that hovers above the skin without actually touching it.
This no-contact design is particularly useful for gathering information about fragile skin without disturbing delicate tissues.
It could be especially useful in dealing with diabetic patients according to the team from the USA’s Northwestern University in Illinois.

Tiles made from fungi’ could one day be used to cool down buildings without consuming energy — inspired by elephants.
The tiles are made from mycelium , the root network of fungi, in this case of the oyster mushroom, along bamboo shavings.
Earlier research has shown that mycelium-bound composites are more energy efficient than conventional building insulation materials.
Building on this proven insulating property, scientists at Nanyang Technological University
in Singapore added a bumpy, wrinkly texture to the tile.
It mimics the skin of an elephant because the animal has the ability to regulate heat from its skin.
Elephants do not have sweat glands and rely on these wrinkles and crevices on their skin to regulate heat.
Lab experiments have proven the tile’s ability to regulate heat effectively.
Following this proof of concept, the scientists will now scale up production of these tiles and test them on building facades.
The scientists found that the cooling rate of their elephant skin-inspired mycelium tile was 25 per cent better than a fully flat mycelium tile, and the heating rate two per cent lower.
They also found that the elephant skin-inspired tile’s cooling effect improved a further 70 per cent in simulated rain conditions, making it suitable for tropical climates.

Tiles made from fungi’ could one day be used to cool down buildings without consuming energy — inspired by elephants.
The tiles are made from mycelium , the root network of fungi, in this case of the oyster mushroom, along bamboo shavings.
Earlier research has shown that mycelium-bound composites are more energy efficient than conventional building insulation materials.
Building on this proven insulating property, scientists at Nanyang Technological University
in Singapore added a bumpy, wrinkly texture to the tile.
It mimics the skin of an elephant because the animal has the ability to regulate heat from its skin.
Elephants do not have sweat glands and rely on these wrinkles and crevices on their skin to regulate heat.
Lab experiments have proven the tile’s ability to regulate heat effectively.
Following this proof of concept, the scientists will now scale up production of these tiles and test them on building facades.
The scientists found that the cooling rate of their elephant skin-inspired mycelium tile was 25 per cent better than a fully flat mycelium tile, and the heating rate two per cent lower.
They also found that the elephant skin-inspired tile’s cooling effect improved a further 70 per cent in simulated rain conditions, making it suitable for tropical climates.

Timeless world of Ethiopia's Omo valley tribes
February 26, 2023 - Omo River's Valley, Ethiopia:A woman of the Hammer tribe with her hair wrapped in rings made of mud and butter. She is semi-naked, dressed in traditional Hamar attire, and adorned with brightly colored beaded necklaces. The word “Aithiops” means “Ethiopian” and is made from the two Greek words, «????» and «??», (“aitho”=“I burn”)+(“ops”=“face”). It literally means a burnt face person. It has been used as a general description for all dark-skinned people since the time of Homer. It’s clear that the tribes of the Omo River need our support. Not in the form of charity, but in a way that empowers them to maintain their cultural identity while navigating the challenges of the modern world. Education that respects their traditional knowledge, access to healthcare, and protection of their land are critical. These tribes have much to offer us — their wisdom may even hold solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues, like climate change. As I left the Omo Valley, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for what I had learned. In a world increasingly dominated by consumerism and technology, these tribes remind us that there is another way to live — a way that is rooted in respect for nature, for the community, and for the sacred rhythms of life. As photography holds a divine quality, I connect with them as they stop time, like a desire to remain in the present, to find oneself. And perhaps, this is the most profound need of all — to simply be, this moment. (Maro Kouri / Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
