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. ... >>

Wasps vs planes 27.11.2020

In the US alone, more than XNUMX bird strikes occur each year. Often such incidents lead to equipment damage and even plane crashes. But much smaller creatures can also threaten flight safety.

Air pressure receivers, which are placed on the cockpit fuselage and used to measure airspeed, are vulnerable to insects. If they clog the pitot tubes that make up the sensors, the pilots will not be able to assess the speed of takeoff or landing, which is fraught with disaster. The February 757 crash of a Boeing 1996 in the Dominican Republic that killed 189 people is believed to have been caused by a Sphecidae wasp that built a clay nest in one of the pitot tubes.

A team of researchers led by Alan House from Eco Logical Australia decided to find out how dangerous single wasps Pachodynerus nasidens are for aviation, which build nests of earth and clay (they house eggs and food for future larvae) and often occupy various cavities for this, both natural and artificial - such as window slits, rosettes or keyholes. The homeland of this species is Central and South America, but thanks to humans, it entered the United States and the Pacific Islands, and since 2012 has settled in the vicinity of the Australian Brisbane airport.

Over 39 months, experts noted 93 cases of complete blockage of pitot tubes by wasp nests, the first of which occurred just two weeks after the start of the experiment. All found nests belonged exclusively to P. nasidens. Out of 37 of them, adults hatched. Interestingly, in one nest, the authors found five parasitoid wasps Chrysis lincea parasitizing P. nasidens larvae.

Ninety-six percent of P. nasidens nests were built between November and May, and their nesting activity increased at high average monthly temperatures. At the same time, the wasps most willingly used tubes with a diameter of more than 96 millimeters, located close to areas with natural grassy vegetation.

The data obtained demonstrate that P. nasidens are well established in the vicinity of Brisbane Airport and actively use aircraft air pressure pits to build nests. This increases the risk of aviation accidents. The authors call for careful monitoring of the distribution of the species along the east coast of Australia, as well as the development of measures to control the population or its complete eradication. And to protect planes from wasps, they recommend installing insect traps at airports and closing pitot tubes after landing.
