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 ... >>

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.

| Random news from the Archive On bone skates
15.09.2008
Skates were invented not for entertainment, but as a means of transportation. This conclusion was reached by English and Italian physiologists.
Skates, made from deer or elk bones and tied to the legs with leather straps, first appeared in southern Scandinavia about 3000 years ago. There are a lot of lakes in this area, they freeze in winter, which allows you to shorten the path - go straight on the ice instead of going around each lake along the shore.
Physiologists asked a group of volunteers to run across a frozen lake on replicas of ancient ice skates. The other group just walked on the ice. At the same time, the pulse rate and oxygen consumption were measured in both of them, which makes it possible to judge energy consumption.
It turned out that skaters moved twice as fast as pedestrians, saving 10% of energy.
