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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Cold from the lake
09.11.2007
A large city spends huge amounts of energy on air conditioning in buildings. The original solution to the problem was found in the Canadian city of Toronto.
The city stands on the shores of Lake Ontario, where in the deep layers the water temperature remains at +4°C all year round. Three polyethylene pipes with a diameter of 1600 millimeters and a length of 5 kilometers to a depth of 83 meters were led into the lake.
The cold water is first filtered and then passed to a heat exchanger, from where the cold is transferred to the air conditioning systems of 36 downtown Toronto office buildings. Another 16 skyscrapers signed contracts to connect to the system. Together, they will save the city 61 megawatts of electricity per year. The heated water enters the city water supply system and satisfies 15% of the need for drinking water.
A similar air conditioning system works in Stockholm, but it operates on water from the sea.
