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. ... >>

Time may not exist 02.02.2023

The researchers found that causality, not time, is the main characteristic of our universe.

Australian Catholic University expert Sam Baron believes that physics is in crisis. For the past century, scientists have been explaining the universe in terms of two extremely successful theories: general relativity and quantum mechanics. According to him, quantum mechanics successfully justifies working in the incredibly tiny world of particles and their interactions. At the same time, the general theory of relativity describes the general picture of gravity and the movement of objects.

These theories largely contradict each other. Therefore, scientists believe that they should be replaced by one common. In particular, we are talking about the theory of "quantum gravity", which should explain how gravity works on the smallest scale.

At the same time, scientists note that creating a new theory of quantum gravity is an extremely difficult task. One such attempt was string theory. She replaced particles with strings vibrating in 11 dimensions. However, string theory ran into some difficulties. The theory describes a universe similar to ours, but does not provide any clear predictions that could be tested through experiments. Thus, the theory put forward can neither be confirmed nor refuted, the scientists added.

The most famous approach after that was loop quantum gravity. It says that the fabric of space and time consists of a network of very small discrete fragments, in other words "loops". One of the most powerful features of loop quantum gravity is the abolition of time.

“Loop quantum gravity is not the only theory that eliminates time. A number of other approaches also eliminate time as a fundamental aspect of reality. There are no tables, chairs or even people in the theories of physics, and yet we still know that all this exists. We know very well that all of the above is made up of fundamental particles, but we have no idea what time can "consist" of. Until we can give a clear explanation of how time arises, it is not clear whether we can say that it exists, " - emphasized the scientists.

According to him, based on this, time may not exist in any of the available theories. However, the theories leave the causal relationship intact. That is, physics says that causality, not time, is the main characteristic of our universe.
