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 flock shares information 02.08.2019 Birds that fly in flocks, antelopes and zebras that run in herds, and fish that huddle in schools do it for a reason - obviously, being in a group gives them some benefit. Maybe it’s safer for them, maybe it’s easier for them to look for food, maybe it’s just physically easier to move around in a large company - it’s known, for example, that birds really fly faster in large flocks. Researchers at the University of Warwick tried to explain flocking behavior in terms of the common notion that birds, fish, and all living things in general desire the greatest possible freedom. This means that they need as much information as possible about what is happening around - then, having collected information about the surrounding space, it will become better clear where you can move. Simply put, birds (for convenience, we will only talk about birds) want to know all the possibilities - and it turns out that in order to know all the possibilities, you need to fly in a flock. The authors of the work did not observe the birds themselves, but instead built a virtual model in which the virtual "birds" tried to "see" as much as possible around them. Several features quickly emerged in their behavior: firstly, they aimed at each other, secondly, they repeated the movements of their neighbors, and thirdly, they tried not to crash into each other. In other words, the virtual "birds" formed a flock for which it was possible to predict where it would move, how many "birds" were in it, etc. - moreover, what is important, the parameters of the virtual flock were close to how real flocks behave , herds and shoals. The algorithm that describes the behavior in a flock is similar to the algorithm called a search tree, which is used, for example, in chess programs: game options look like a tree branching at nodes where different turns of the game are possible. The algorithm searches the search tree for the line of play that gives the greatest benefit.
