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.

source of maternal instinct 03.09.2019

Biologists from Louisiana State University (USA) conducted a study on two groups of mice: the first were males, the second - females. The researchers found a group of cells activated by the hormone oxytocin in the brains of female mice, while no such cells were found in male mice.

Oxytocin is also known as the "love hormone" and plays an important role in regulating behavior, including maternal behavior.

"Many scientists have tried to figure out the difference between the oxytocin system in women and men, but no one has yet found conclusive evidence. Our discovery came as a big surprise to us," said Ryoichi Teruyama, assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Louisiana.

Oxytocin receptors, as it turned out, are contained in the area of the brain responsible for the so-called maternal behavior. Moreover, biologists reported that the expression of oxytocin receptors in these cells is observed only when estrogen, the female sex hormone, is also present there. Therefore, these cells are involved in stimulating the "maternal instinct".

Recent studies have already demonstrated an association between altered oxytocin receptor expression and postpartum depression, which occurs in approximately 10-20 percent of women who have recently given birth. According to biologists from Louisiana, their discovery could help create new methods for the treatment of postpartum depression, which would already be the cells that are activated by oxytocin.
