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.

Solar panels over water channels 27.08.2022

Last year, American scientists published a feasibility study on the benefits of building solar panels over water channels. Now it has become known that a Nexus pilot project is being implemented in California, in which solar panels will be placed over two spans of canals in the Turlock irrigation district to collect energy.

California authorities have allocated $ 20 million for the implementation of the Nexus project. The construction of new power facilities above the canals is scheduled to begin in October this year. Solar panels will appear over the 150-meter span of the canal in Hickman. Similarly, the panels will be placed over a 1,6-kilometer canal span in another part of the state.

"If it works for the first two miles of the Nexus project that we're implementing now, it could potentially spread to many places," said Josh Weimer, manager of Turlock Water & Power.

The length of the California channels is about 6,5 thousand km. If they were all covered in solar panels, that would generate 13 gigawatts of renewable energy. 1 gigawatt is enough to power 750 households. Thus, about 9,75 million families can be provided with energy. As of July 2021, there were 13,1 million households in California.
