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. 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. ... >>

Dangerous smell of rain 14.03.2017

Everyone knows the fresh smell that fills the air after rain. It usually brings with it a feeling of peace and tranquility, but few people know that it can also be deadly. Scientists have found that rain raises a suspension of bacteria into the air, some of which actually spread disease.

American scientists from the Institute of Technology (Massachusetts, USA) explained how the smell of "damp earth" overcomes the distance from the soil to your nose. It's all about a chemical called geosmin, which is responsible for a specific aroma: the human sense of smell is so sensitive to it that we are able to smell this smell when there are only five (!) geosmin molecules for a trillion other molecules. Scientists have known about it for a long time, but they did not know exactly how it is associated with raindrops.

Using high-speed cameras and fluorescent paint, the researchers filmed water droplets falling on various types of soil that contained a variety of bacteria. As a result, it became clear how the drops delicately “catapult” microbes into the air. When a drop hits the ground at a certain speed, it encloses tiny air bubbles, each no wider than a human hair. Like the air bubbles that rise from the bottom of the pool when a person is immersed in it, these also tend upward, and therefore pierce the drop through and burst when they reach its surface. As a result, an impromptu fountain is formed, which, together with thin streams of water, sends bacteria into the air.

The team found that when it hits the ground, one drop of water breaks up into hundreds of small droplets, each containing thousands of live bacteria. In these microscopic droplets, bacteria can live for another hour, while the wind carries them throughout the area. Cullen Bui, one of the project's researchers, says the next step is to figure out how far the bacteria can travel.

Bacteria aren't that scary for humans, but there's a reason Bui and colleagues started the study. They were contacted by a British scientist concerned about the spread of melioidosis during the rainy season in southeast Asia and northern Australia. This infectious disease is treatable, but without proper antibiotics, the mortality rate can be as high as 90% (i.e. out of 10 people who get sick, 9 will die). Scientists attribute the spread of infection to precipitation, and now that the mechanism of its spread has become known, they promise to take all appropriate measures.
