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. ... >>

The world managed to twist 15.09.2011

In 1818, the famous French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel suggested that light passing through a moving transparent medium - glass, air, water - should be involved in the movement of this medium.

The predicted effect was discovered at the beginning of the XNUMXth century. Roughly speaking, if you quickly rotate a round glass window, you can make everything visible through it slightly rotate in the direction of rotation - by a millionth of an angular degree.

American physicists, passing a green laser beam along the axis of a ruby ​​cylinder, greatly reduced the speed of light (light reaches three hundred thousand kilometers per second only in a vacuum). A mask with an ellipse-shaped hole was placed in the path of the beam. The cylinder was rotated at 3000 revolutions per minute, and the exit ellipse rotated almost five degrees.

The ability to "twist" light by rotating the medium through which it passes can lead to a new way of encoding information for transmission in a laser beam.
