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 perfect foam will be developed in space 23.07.2012

All chefs know that making the perfect chocolate mousse is half art and half science. One can argue about art, but there is really a lot of science in making delicious foam. For example, the European Space Agency is helping the food industry understand how foam is formed and retained, which can be seen in many types of food and drink, such as meringue and coffee. Consumers want chocolate mousse to retain its texture and flavor from the supermarket to the dinner table. Unfortunately, many favorite products lose foam after a few minutes.

Developing the "ideal" foam on Earth is very difficult, as our planet's gravity literally crushes fragile foam bubbles. Therefore, specialists from the European Space Agency are studying foam in zero gravity, where nothing interferes with the formation and development of bubbles.

ESA has been conducting foam research since the 1980s. More than 10 years ago, a private food company, Nestle, became interested in space agency research. The food industry is very concerned about the quality of the foam, because a stable foam, for example, the same chocolate mousse, creates a pleasant velvety in the mouth, and it gives lightness to coffee.

Creating foam in microgravity is not as easy as it might seem. After several experiments, the scientists came to the conclusion that electromagnetically driven pistons are the best way to inject liquid into a special mold. The first experiments with milk protein for Nestle were carried out during flights along a parabolic trajectory, which provides 20 seconds of weightlessness.

Scientists are now confident that their equipment is working properly and plan to conduct larger experiments aboard the International Space Station. This cannot but please ordinary consumers, because half of the products in our refrigerator are based on foam and emulsion. If ESA specialists manage to create an "ideal" foam, this will allow, without adding "extra" and not always useful ingredients, to extend their shelf life while maintaining taste.
