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 The psychological state of the soldier will show a special marker
23.10.2012
American military scientists from the Defense Science Board (DSB) announced that in the coming years, with the help of genomics and biomarkers, it will be possible to pinpoint the critical point, after which the soldier, as they say, "goes crazy" or simply becomes inadequate to act. So far, the only way to prevent such cases is preventive work, but it is still impossible to predict exactly when a person will reach a critical point.
Following the tragedy at Fort Hood, Texas, in which Major Nidal Hassan killed 13 people, in November 2009 the DSB established a task force to investigate the problem of predicting violent behavior. For the first time, ways were outlined for the implementation of this important task, although scientists emphasize that it is still far from reliable forecasting of an outbreak of aggression.
Scientists have created a so-called stress response curve, which shows the performance of a soldier under stress. The graph clearly shows that productivity rises with stress levels, but under pressure, people perform better only up to a certain point. Eventually, stress continues to rise and human productivity levels off. At a certain point, stress reaches a critical point, productivity rushes to zero, and a person suddenly becomes inadequate and, for example, begins to shoot into the crowd with a machine gun.
The report of scientists from the DSB notes that serious cases of inappropriate behavior could have been avoided if qualified data collection could be organized, and if others had at least some knowledge of the signs of a crisis.
According to scientists, there are two ways to solve the problem of inappropriate behavior under stress. First, it is necessary to increase the stress resistance of soldiers, that is, to push back the critical point and ensure efficiency and sanity under serious psychological and physical stress. Secondly, it is worth organizing the collection and analysis of data on human behavior, as well as creating and widely using special sensors that can determine biomarkers of physiological signs of stress. In this case, it will be possible to "pull" a person out of a dangerous situation before he commits an irreparable act.
