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 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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Quantum random number generator
09.05.2022
Cloud computing service Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched the Australian National University (ANU) ANU Quantum Numbers (AQN) quantum number generator on its platform.
According to the University, AQN is the most popular and fastest online random number generator in the world. Over the past ten years, the generator has received more than two billion requests from 70 countries for the selection of random numbers. An Australian university has decided to run the service on AWS and provide fast and reliable functionality to more than 310 platform customers.
AQN uses quantum technology to generate random numbers at high speed and in real time by measuring vacuum quantum fluctuations. Using quantum optics, the homodyne detection method can measure the randomness of the generated quantum numbers. The numbers are then uploaded to AWS servers for serving via API.
The generator is available on the AWS Marketplace and is capable of receiving 100 requests per second for $0,005 per request.
Random numbers are essential in IT, Data Science and Modeling. They are also used by artists to eliminate human bias in their creative work. In computer games and smart contracts, random numbers are also an indispensable resource.
