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. ... >>

Compact cars will teach you how to prevent accidents 16.01.2012

By 2018, 40% of compact cars will have ADAS to prevent accidents.

"Smart" ADAS systems continuously monitor the movement of the car, following the lane, road signs, driving headlights. Thus, small cars such as the Ford Focus or Citroen C4 will have an intelligent system that protects the driver as well as the expensive security systems of higher-end cars.

According to a study by the German Association of Insurers (GDV), such a system could reduce road deaths by 15%. In general, in Germany, the accident rate should "fall" by 35%. This comes close to the targets of the European Union's transport policy, which aims to reduce road deaths by 50% by 2020.

Large companies such as Continental, TRW and Bosch are working on low-cost versions of the ADAS system, collaborating with scientists and smart system vendors.

For example, Continental has recently developed a low-cost integrated ADAS system that can control headlights, monitor driving strictly in its lane and the actions of drivers. In turn, TRW has developed a low-cost 24 GHz radar to monitor the environment around the car. It should be noted that this radar is already installed on some Italian and French cars.

Thus, within the next 2-3 years, the mass introduction of ADAS technologies on the most popular compact cars will begin, which should drastically reduce the accident rate on the roads. In the longer term, most new cars, trucks and buses will be equipped with ADAS security systems.

Thanks to the combination of radars, multifunctional cameras and other sensors, the driver will receive complete information about the situation on the road. This will prevent numerous accidents, such as collisions with pedestrians in bad weather, collisions at intersections, misjudgment of distance, inattention, etc.
