Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Temperature and synthesis of pure polymers 01.10.2020

Florida State University researchers have figured out how temperature during the synthesis process affects the properties of the final polymer. The discovery will help create new environmentally friendly plastics.

Plastics made from petroleum and other non-renewable resources can take centuries or millennia to decompose. All because of the stability of their structure, due to strong bonds between long molecular chains. These bonds, as well as the position of the chains, are formed in the process of synthesis. Therefore, the final properties of the polymer also depend on the synthesis conditions.

Finding the right temperature is key to getting the best materials that can replace inexpensive petroleum-based polymers with economically viable, environmentally friendly materials.

As an object of study, scientists used polyacetals with large internodal distances. This class of polymers is most often used for the production of various kinds of plastics. As a rule, these materials are obtained from environmentally friendly biomass. However, they are durable and break apart more easily in water.

The researchers found that upon rapid cooling, the polyacetals become rigid and crystallize, and their molecules self-assemble into a specific phase, which the scientists called "Form I". When slowly cooled, the material also becomes crystalline, but the resulting crystals have a different structure and scientists call them "form II". If the polymer is cooled at intermediate temperatures, the material does not harden at all. According to the researchers, this phenomenon has never been observed in any other crystalline polymers.
