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.

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. ... >>

Step to desktop accelerator 23.11.2004

British and American physicists have managed to accelerate electrons almost to the speed of light, and the length of the accelerator was a fraction of a millimeter.

"Our work shows that sooner or later a scientist will not need multi-kilometer accelerators of international centers like CERN to study high-energy physics. The laser accelerator will be located in a university laboratory," says Professor Karl Krushelnik from King's College London. But the fact is that the team of scientists headed by him from London, Strathclyd and Los Angeles managed to accelerate electrons up to 70 MeV using a terawatt femtosecond laser, and this happened at a distance of only 0,6 mm.

The idea of such an accelerator is not new: it was proposed in 1979 by Toshi Tajima and John Dawson. The gas in a powerful focused laser beam is ionized, turns into a plasma, and a wave can appear in it, which moves at a speed close to the speed of light.

The strength of the electric field in such a wave is a hundred times greater than in an accelerator, and it very quickly accelerates electrons to relativistic speeds.
