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.

Random news from the Archive Mind on vacation 13.08.2021 Many researchers agree that, from a biological point of view, one of the main reasons for increased cognitive flexibility is stress reduction. We will not deny that work tests our nerves for strength, but it turns out that, within reason, stress is even useful. It is he who activates the mechanisms that help us perform daily activities, as if motivating and urging us. This is the so-called eustress, which is translated from ancient Greek as "good." But negative stress - distress - is always negative, because it can take a chronic form, bringing with it all sorts of diseases. Distress occurs when irritability is prolonged, pressure increases, fatigue, increased anxiety, sadness and even anger appear. Therefore, the main thing that a good vacation can do for our health is to reduce the level of chronic stress. Idleness in reasonable amounts helps the brain to relax and reverse all negative effects. Doctors also advise to increase sleep time on vacation and change the emotional environment. That is, if there is noise and din at work, it is worth making silence at home, stop continuing to answer calls and letters and deal with work matters. Another key to total peace and perfect relaxation is to enjoy the wait. Why do we like waiting for something good so much? Ask dopamine, which is produced in the neurons of two areas of the midbrain: in the substantia nigra, it is responsible for muscle tone, and in the ventral tegmental area, it is involved in the reward system of the brain. Both areas contain up to 600 neurons that transmit signals to other areas of the brain. Dopamine is released and causes pleasant sensations at the thought of a future vacation or other reward for work. For a vacation to go well and not stressful, you need to constantly be surprised, get to know something new and, of course, visit unknown places. And in the evenings, neurologists recommend pampering yourself with unusual dishes. That's just stress can break the ability to be surprised. The study shows that the high levels of stress that many face during the workday reduces the amount of dopamine released and alters metabolism. The worst thing is that the consequences can spread throughout the brain, especially in those areas where the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmentum send their signals. Korean scientists also proved that chronic stress can change the number of dopamine receptors. And this already leads to the development of depressive disorders and other mental disorders. Thus, a stress-free vacation will help rebalance the dopamine system.
