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 ... >>
Petgugu Global cat litter
15.04.2024
Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>
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 New unique type of magnet
15.02.2019
Chemical engineering specialists from New York University, USA, demonstrated their new, unusual design of a unique type of magnet, discovered not so long ago during a parallel study of the properties of certain types of uranium and antimony. Specialists have identified a new type of magnet as a "sweatshirt magnet", naming it so because this type of magnet has the unique ability to change its magnetic properties, switching from a magnetized state to a demagnetized state. It is worth noting that the discovery of this new type of magnet is of paramount importance for improving the quality and reliability of modern hard drives.
In principle, the same applies to any other recording equipment. The very discovery of a new magnet was associated with the study of some configurations of antimony and uranium - then scientists were able to identify the prototype Usb2 magnet, in which electrons were formed not in the standard way, as is usually the case in magnets, but through a kind of layering and transposition. This allows the new Usb2 magnet to simultaneously demonstrate the properties of a charged and discharged magnet, depending on what the user specifically needs.
Connecting with each other, the electrons in the presented magnet form something like a disparate magnetic field, in which switching is controlled using standard flip-flops - in this respect, control is carried out in traditional and easy ways.
This type of magnet-sweatshirt will certainly be an excellent tool for a significant technical improvement in current technologies and methods for creating hard drives and other storage equipment - in particular, making this equipment more reliable, resistant to various types of deformation and more durable, which is very, very important.
