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 ... >>

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.

| Random news from the Archive Octospot - action camera for diving enthusiasts
20.07.2016
The Kickstarter website is raising funds for the Octospot wearable camera. This action camera is aimed at diving enthusiasts.
The developers emphasize the reliability and simplicity of the camera. With an aluminum and polycarbonate body, the device can withstand diving to a depth of 200 m, and all control is carried out by only two controls. Of course, they are designed to be handled with gloves.
The camera is equipped with a pressure sensor, the readings of which are stored simultaneously with the video and are used to correct the white balance. This makes it easy to know at what depth any moment of the video was taken.
The Octospot camera allows you to shoot 4K video at 30 fps. By reducing the resolution to Full HD, you can increase the frame rate up to 100 fps, and at HD resolution, the frame rate can be increased to 240 fps. When played back at a slower frequency, this makes it possible to obtain a slow motion effect. You can also take 12MP photos. Recorded footage can be stored on microSD cards up to 64 GB.
Without recharging the battery, you can shoot up to two hours in a row. The battery status, as well as some other data, is displayed on a small OLED screen at the end of the camera. Device dimensions - 112 x 34 x 34 mm, weight - 161 g.
The first fundraisers could secure the right to receive a camera for $349. Shipment of orders should begin in January 2017.
