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. ... >>

Cleaning rivers with bubbles and hair 09.11.2021

The European Union intends to stop the depletion of flora and fauna by 2030 and restore natural systems so that the diversity of species will begin to recover naturally. The ambitious goal of European politicians was announced in the new "Biodiversity Strategy until 2030", adopted this year. One of the objectives of the "Strategy" is to clean up 25 km of rivers in order to restore their free flow.

Ideas have already appeared in France and the Netherlands. So, a Dutch startup came up with an unusual way to clean rivers of plastic - a device that creates a barricade of air bubbles in the water. The bubbles push the plastic out of the water. These bubbles, according to the developers, should bring to the surface more than 85% of the plastic floating at depth. The device is just a hose with holes, which is thrown to the bottom of the rivers near the ports. The barricade should be placed so that all the ejected plastic is collected in one place - it's easier to catch the trash. The device has already been tested in Amsterdam. In the summer of 2022, it will start working in Porto (Portugal).

And in the Upper Rhine in France, they intend to clean water bodies and soil from fuel oil with the help of human hair. One "sausage" of rolled hair can absorb up to 8 liters of harmful liquid. This cleaning method was sometimes used in France as early as the 1970s. Now they want to make it a permanent practice. Hair will be collected at hairdressers. For hair there are no requirements for quality, length and color - they are all equally useful. Hairdressers who have expressed a desire to take part in the campaign (and there are more than 3000 of them today) will collect cut hair and then send it to Strasbourg, where a special collection point has been set up. From there, the "sausages" will be delivered to the sites of fuel oil spills.

Hair "sausages" will work like sponges, sucking out contaminants from water or soil. They will be laid out pointwise, taking into account the direction of water movement or the composition of the soil. This method of cleaning, according to the organizers, is good because after the hair has completed its mission, it can be washed and reused.
