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. ... >>

100 km on one liter of fuel 25.07.2015

Two years ago, Volkswagen announced the mass production of "the most economical car in the world" - a diesel-electric two-seater VW XL1, capable of traveling 100 km per liter or 240 miles per gallon (if in the US system of measurement). The series turned out to be not very large, only 250 cars, and the American system of measurement did not have to be used, because. the vehicle did not meet North American safety regulations.

However, the idea of an ultra-efficient car knows no bounds. And in June of this year, a group of Canadian students won one of the "Student Design Championship" competitions, building a car that can go 100 km on 0,11 liters of fuel, which in American terms will be 2098 miles per gallon. I must say that this is not the first victory of Canadian students. Their Alerion Supermileage team is now the champion for the fifth time with even more impressive previous results of 2488 mpg in 2010 and 2757 mpg in 2009.

At 2.0m long, 2,89m wide and 0,72m high, the CT0,56 was a revised version from last year. It retained the same monocoque body made of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers, but the filling was changed, both mechanical and electronic. The drive wheel is rear, two wheels in front. Interestingly, with all the impressive results, Canadian cars are by no means absolute champions. The championship belongs to the Swiss car PAC-Car II, created at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich in 2005. Its fuel consumption was 0,02 liters per 100 km. True, she used hydrogen as fuel.

The Student Design Championship competition is held several times a year under the auspices of SAE International, a global association of more than 128 engineers and technical experts in the aerospace, automotive and commercial vehicle industries. Its task is to improve self-propelled vehicles and increase the level of system knowledge for the benefit of society.
