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. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Eclipse and the body 15.11.2000

Employees of the German Institute for Pet Ethology at the University of Stuttgart observed the behavior of some animals during a solar eclipse on August 11 last year.

Of the three horses kept in the open, one began to snort loudly with the beginning of darkening, run around the pasture, and, finally, tail between her legs and trembling all over, huddled under a tree. The horses of the Icelandic breed reacted outwardly very calmly: they stood in the twilight, lowering their heads and closing their eyes, as if dozing off. However, a pulse sensor mounted on the leg of one horse showed that, compared with the usual 30-40 beats per minute, at the time of total eclipse, the pulse increased to 100 beats per minute or more.

Until now, the pulse of this frequency in horses was noted only during the races. The geese became worried and raised the alarm, and the ducks, sitting quietly on the shore, rushed into the water and gathered in the middle of the pond, as if hiding from a predator. Employees of two English universities conducted observations on a group of students. During the eclipse, the activity of leukocytes increased by almost nine percent in students.

Experiments carried out after the eclipse showed that neither darkness nor temperature per se affects the activity of leukocytes. Perhaps psychological stress is acting, and for people who do not understand what an eclipse is and are not prepared for the disappearance of the Sun in broad daylight, this effect should be even greater.
