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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Antenna using sea water fountain 20.02.2016

Every day, without realizing it, we use radio waves that are so short (but relatively strong) that they allow us to use tiny antennas in various electronic devices. However, as the radio waves get longer and the signal gets weaker, the antennas should get bigger accordingly.

In China, for example, the FAST radio telescope is currently under construction, which will be the largest in the world and will cover an area equal to 30 football fields. And in less exotic structures, huge fixed antennas are required, the construction of which takes a lot of time and money. Therefore, researchers are considering using alternative materials that could make very large antennas portable.

Salt water is one such material. Five years ago, US Navy researchers patented an antenna that used the magnetic induction of sodium chloride in sea water to transmit and receive signals, and the frequency of the signal was determined by the height of the water fountain. The US Navy has tried to find commercial applications for the technology, but so far nothing has come of it, since the jet apparatus has to be kept above the water so that there is no short circuit.

Now Japan's Mitsubishi has announced its version of a waterborne antenna called the SeaAerial, which the company says is capable of receiving digital broadcasts from land. A Mitsubishi innovation is the use of a nozzle in the antenna, in which a tube of insulating material physically separates the antenna jet from the surrounding water and prevents short circuits. In addition, according to the authors of the antenna, they managed to solve the problem of the relatively low (compared to metals) electrical conductivity of sea water. Through computer simulations, the researchers were able to determine the ideal jet diameter, which increased antenna efficiency by 70%.
