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 Why is there no coal in Antarctica?
08.04.2000
In the Cretaceous period, when the whole Earth was warm, almost the entire planet was covered with lush tropical forests. On all continents since those times there were deposits of coal. Except for Antarctica, where only a few small and thin strata have been found. At the same time, it is known that Antarctica was also covered with deciduous forests.
Why didn't coal form here? According to computer simulations of the ancient climate of Antarctica by David Burling of the University of Sheffield (England), the water balance of the Antarctic forests was very tight. How much water the trees received from the rains, so much evaporated.
Therefore, the groundwater level was low, and swamps could not have arisen in Antarctica. And the formation of coal begins precisely with a peat bog: for tens of thousands of years, the dead remains of plants turn first into peat, then into brown coal, and finally into stone. As the computer model showed, small swamps could have arisen only in a few places on the continent - it is there that scarce deposits of coal are now found.
