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. ... >>

Random news from the Archive Instant dimming for the welder 03.12.2008 The welding helmet of the American company "3M" does not have to be raised and lowered during operation. Its glass, when the arc is turned on, automatically darkens in 0,1 milliseconds and brightens as soon as the arc goes out. This is how the polarizing filter on liquid crystals works, which works when it is energized by the microprocessor that controls the mask. Moreover, the system reacts only to pulsating light (and the arc always pulsates during welding), so that it will not be confused by a randomly flashed sunbeam or a beam of a strong lantern. Welding ends - the light filter is clarified, and the welder, without lifting the shield, can again perform preparatory operations. You can adjust the filter for enlightenment with some delay so that the welder is not blinded by the hot weld.
