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 ... >>

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.

Chocolate improves eyesight 02.05.2018

Experts from Incarnate Ward University conducted a study on the effect of chocolate on human vision.

Scientists gave the participants of the experiment about 42 grams of chocolate - dark, with a share of cocoa in 72%, or milk. Then their eyesight was tested, and those who ate dark chocolate had slightly sharper eyesight and better contrast. True, the effect was very small - the researchers themselves admit that in everyday life there is unlikely to be any benefit from such an improvement in vision, and the chocolate only worked for a couple of hours.

As for the mechanism, it’s probably all about the famous flavonoids again, which are quite abundant in cocoa beans: it can be assumed that flavonoids improve the blood supply to the retina, thereby increasing visual acuity.
