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. ... >>

Potato bacterium antibiotic 13.10.2022

British scientists have managed to obtain a broad-spectrum antibiotic from a potato bacterium.

We are talking about a microorganism called Dickeya solani, first discovered 15 years ago. It is he who is responsible for the so-called wet rot on potatoes, which everyone has seen. This disease harms agriculture, but helped scientists from the University of Cambridge (UK) discover a new broad-spectrum antibiotic.

Previously, microbiologists have already found that the bacterium D. solani has the ability to secrete an antibiotic, but another one is oocidin A. It has a high activity against many fungal infections in plants.

It turned out that the bacterium can secrete another antibiotic - solanimicin. Scientists got it when they inhibited the genes responsible for the production of oocin A. Despite this inhibition, D. solani continued to retain antifungal activity.

The researchers asked why this was so and learned about the bacterium's "backup" defense. In addition to isolating the antibiotic itself, the authors of the work identified a cluster of genes encoding the proteins that make up the compound.

Scientists have also found that the microorganism spends this type of antibiotic sparingly - for example, solanimycin genes are activated by an acidic environment. In the future, biologists hope to extract from it a drug that would be effective in protecting plants, and in the future, people from pathogens.

In the laboratory, researchers have already tested the antibiotic against Candida albicans and it is effective. This type of fungus exists naturally in the body, but it can also trigger dangerous infections.
