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. ... >>

Electric explosion of aluminum foil will effectively bond the metal 13.01.2016

Metal parts are well connected by welding. However, the weld is usually the very place where the strength of the metal is less. In addition, not all metals can be welded together. For example, it is not easy to weld an aluminum body to a steel frame. And many would like this, because, say, such a car would be both lighter and less susceptible to corrosion.

Usually, spot welding is used to weld the non-weldable, melting the metal at several points: this does not form an extended seam that weakens the entire structure. But materials scientists are looking for new ways.

One of them is explosion welding. Here's what it looks like as interpreted by Glenn Dyen of Ohio University. The parts to be welded are wrapped in aluminum foil and a powerful pulse of electric current generated by a supercapacitor is passed through it. The current instantly heats the foil, and it evaporates, actually explodes. The force of the explosion is such that pieces of metal rush towards each other with great speed and are tightly connected by peculiar whirlwinds of matter.

Such an explosion consumes little energy, since there is no need to melt large amounts of metal; does not deteriorate from heating and the structure of the material in the area of the seam. The seam itself is stronger than the material next door. In this way, steel can be welded not only with steel, but also with titanium or aluminum.
