Conheça os designers por trás do preservativo super do Bill Gates

Condom of the future ... The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded $ 1 million in research grants to develop a sheath that significantly preserves or increases the pleasure.

It was hailed as the wonder-new material set to revolutionize everything from circuit boards for food packaging, a membrane of Super-strength magic there is bad at all. Now, thanks to the unlikely sex champion Bill Gates, Graphene can be used to make the thinnest condom, lightest, most inscrutable ever conceived.

"The common analogy is that using a condom is like taking a shower with a raincoat," says Dr. Papa Salif Sow, senior program officer of the HIV team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which awarded $ 100,000 (£ 60,000) to scientists at the University of Manchester's National Institute of Graphene to aid your pursuit of super sheath end. "Condoms redesigned which overcomes the inconvenience, hesitant or perceived loss of pleasure would be a powerful weapon in the fight against poverty."

In just one atom thick, of a condom all-Graphene would put the Durex Ultra thin the embarrassment – though the fact that the material is barely visible with the naked eye can lead to some strange moments between the sheets. A slight ruffle duvet and could only float?

Dr Aravind Vijayaraghavan, who will lead the research team, explained that the focus is the development of a composite material with LaTeX, "tailored to increase the natural feel during sexual intercourse during the use of a condom, which should encourage and promote the use of condoms".

This will be achieved, he says, "combining the strength of Graphene with the elasticity of latex to produce a new material which can be thinner, stronger, more elastic, more secure and, perhaps more importantly, more pleasurable."

But Adam and his colleagues are not alone in your pursuit. The Gates Foundation stated that will give a total of $ 1 million in grants to establish a next-generation preservative that "preserves or improves significantly the pleasure" – and there is no shortage of competitors.

Researchers at the University of Oregon are using their grant to develop a polymer polyurethane preservative properties ultra-clear "shape memory", which would be vacuum-seal around the penis as he warmed up during sexual intercourse. The body heat generated during sex would make condom molecules to collapse, creating a comfortable fit twice as fine as the variety of normal LaTeX. If shrink-wrapping your manpiece is not enough, it comes embedded with antimicrobial nanoparticles, to protect themselves against sexually transmitted diseases.

If all this sounds very grumpy, so maybe Mark McGlothlin, of Apex medical technologies in San Diego, has the answer. "Many people are trying to get thinner and stronger material – which has always been my focus," he said the new Republic. But why innovate when the material already exists – in the form of collagen fibrils of cow tendon. After all, don't people manage for centuries with sheep intestines? "The texture of collagen is very similar to the mucous membrane," he said. "The feeling that the heat transfer and to touch, look a lot like the skin."

McGlothlin plan your beef tendon a Chinese food store source in California, but he says slaughterhouses, or even fish markets, are other potential sources. The next time you're at the butcher 's, you might think twice before stopping the nose in the bag of giblets.
