Talk:Hydrogel

Please update: the section "Research"

Please update the section #Research. I tried adding a study featured in 2022 in science but it was reverted and arguably rightly so e.g. as other necessary content is missing there (before this would be due) or because it should have been added using more refs (some of which you can find below).

One field that is notable and missing is the use of hydrogels in sustainable energy and atmospheric water generators. Please see the paragraph about both of these in combination at Atmospheric water generator#Power:

Section 'Power' not found

For sustainable energy in general / without AWGs, also see this review: ^[1]

There may be more advanced notable fields / applications that are missing there other than sustainable energy and AWGs.

Another field that may be notable are (I'd suggest a brief mention, maybe even shorter than the sentence below):

Multilayer robotic tactile sensor hydrogel-based robot e-skins.^[2]^[3]

Odd word "fuving"

Under preparation I see the line, "One notable method of initiating a polymerization fuving involves the use of light as a stimulus." "Fuving" is not a word (other than an odd slang term!) and I don't know what it should be. I'd guess "tuning" but I am not confident enough to replace it.

@Ed Gracely The only word that seems to fit the meaning is "reaction". So it doesn't look like it was a typo. The word "fuving" definitely does not exist as a common noun. The closest similar word would be "fusing", but that does not fit the context. It must be "reaction". So I would put that if I were you. I scanned both of the references for that paragraph, but there was nothing remotely like "fuving". Alan U. Kennington (talk) 15:01, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Alan U. Kennington I made the change. It makes sense. Ed Gracely (talk) 15:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was some drive-by vandalism from a couple years ago (diff). The original word was indeed 'reaction'. Good catch! MrOllie (talk) 15:21, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MrOllie

Your reply came through while I was using WikiBlame.

Now I've just seen your reply.

Cheers. Alan U. Kennington (talk) 15:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ed Gracely

I just checked the "wikiblame" function for this web page. Someone changed the word "reaction" to "fuving" on 23 April 2022. Here's the diff link.

https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Hydrogel&diff=prev&oldid=1084242432

Their IP address was 154.66.108.233.

According to a geolocation tool, that IP address is currently in Lesotho, in Maseru city.

It's amazing that it stayed there that long!

Cheers. Alan U. Kennington (talk) 15:23, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I need to learn some of these tools you mention like wikiblame. I could also have checked the history -- didn't think of that! Ed Gracely (talk) 21:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ed Gracely My use of WikiBlame one day ago was the first time I've used it, and I've been editing since 2006. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago, but didn't click on it. It's in the "View History" as "Find Addition/Removal". It uses an external web site with a German domain name. Now I've tried it, and I'm impressed.

https://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php?lang=en&article=Talk:Hydrogel

It isn't quite the same as the repository systems like "git" and "subversion". But it's quite powerful and quick at checking 500 versions of a wikipedia page.

Cheers again. Alan U. Kennington (talk) 00:13, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
