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. ... >>

Why does my head hurt after cold water? 02.05.2012

Many people from time to time experience short-term penetrating pain in the temples after eating ice cream or other heavily chilled food. Until now, experts were at a loss as to the causes of this phenomenon.

Earlier work showed that the described phenomenon is more often observed in people prone to migraines. Based on this, researchers at Harvard University suggested that some common mechanisms or causes may underlie these two pain sensations, and decided to use the phenomenon of “brain freeze” to study headache.

Headache is extremely difficult to study because its episodes cannot be monitored from start to finish. Migraine-causing drugs may have unwanted side effects, so their use for research purposes is unacceptable. At the same time, pain syndrome caused by cold food is very easy to initiate in the laboratory, and it also stops quickly, making it an ideal model for studying headache.

The scientists asked 13 healthy volunteers to sip ice-cold water through a straw so that it hits the sky, and raise their hands up when the sensation of pain in the temples appeared and disappeared.

Ultrasound monitoring of participants' cerebral circulation showed that the cause of pain in the temples was increased blood flow in the anterior cerebral artery, located in the middle of the brain behind the eyeballs, leading to an increase in the size of this vessel. With subsequent compensatory contraction of the artery walls, the pain disappeared.

Researchers believe that the expansion and subsequent rapid contraction of the artery are self-defense mechanisms of the brain. The brain is very sensitive to changes in temperature, therefore, when there is a threat of hypothermia, vasodilation provides additional flow of warm blood into its tissues. This is accompanied by fever and painful blood pressure. However, the vessel is reduced, preventing the increase in pressure to critical values.

If other types of headaches are based on similar mechanisms, then drugs that prevent vasodilation or contribute to their reduction can be used to combat them. However, scientists have yet to figure out this issue.
