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.

A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women.

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 Greenland is losing ice catastrophically
24.08.2020
The Greenland ice sheet, which is the second largest, lost a record 2019 billion tons of ice in 532. In July alone, 223 billion tons of ice melted.
For comparison, in 2003-2016, Greenland was losing 255 billion tons of ice per year. Last year, the glacier lost 15% of its ice than in 2012, when most of the shield also melted.
According to scientists, the water that melted in Greenland in 2019 could flood the entire territory of the UK by 2,5 meters.
Melting ice is linked to climate change. 2019 was the third hottest year since the 1880s, with temperatures in the Arctic also rising to record highs. Scientists believe that a constant increase in temperature, a small amount of snowfall, and cloudless skies led to a record melt. Because of this, more sunlight hit the glacier.
In 2017-2018, Greenland experienced a record amount of snow, and the summer was abnormally cold. But the temporary cooling did not save from record melting in 2019.
By the end of the century, only because of the melting of the glaciers of Greenland, the sea level will rise by 10 centimeters, but in general it is expected that by 2100 the water level will rise by a meter. This means that London, Shanghai, Hong Kong and the islands in the Pacific Ocean may be under water. 300 million people around the world could be affected.
Earlier, an international group of scientists said that since 2000, the rate of melting of the Greenland ice sheet has jumped sharply and the snow that falls does not have time to compensate for the losses. The researchers argue that this process can no longer be stopped.
