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. ... >>

The light is on in the brain 01.08.2016

Canadian scientists suggested that neurons are connected to each other not only by electrical and chemical communication systems, but also by photon tunnels.

Neuroscientists from the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta suggest that the neurons that make up our nervous system are capable of emitting photons and providing additional, light communication with each other.

In order to serve as a means of communication, a photon must enter a waveguide that will guide it from the source to the receiver. Using computer simulations, biologists have proven that biophotons can use the myelin sheath of neurons as a waveguide.

Now scientists are trying to answer the question of whether entangled photons exist in the brain. If the answer turns out to be yes, we can assume that our brain is a very powerful quantum computer.
