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 ... >>

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.

Sliding car 03.10.2002

The Swiss company "Rinspeed" showed at this year's motor show in Geneva the sliding car "Presto". At the touch of a button, this open convertible extends 75 centimeters, giving room for two more passengers or a bulky load.

Two more features of the Presto are an unusual engine and the absence of rear signal lights. The engine, converted from a Mercedes diesel engine, runs on a mixture of diesel fuel and natural gas, which reduces the harmfulness of exhaust emissions. And the red lights at the back have been replaced with LED displays. On it, before the turn, the word "turn" appears with an indication of the direction, when braking, the inscription "stop" is lit, and when the driver does not take any action, the name "Presto" is lit on the scoreboard.

Serial production is not planned yet.
