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. ... >>

The invisibility cloak is almost ready 11.02.2012

Physicists from the University of Texas at Austin have taken another step towards the invisibility cloak - they were able to hide an 18-centimeter cylinder from observation, and it was impossible to see it at any viewing angle.

Since the coating also has a cylindrical shape, journalists have already called the device "invisible tube". True, while this tube operates only in the microwave range, in ordinary light the "invisibility" created by it disappears.

Perhaps the most important thing in this achievement is a completely new approach to hiding the item. If the former "proto-invisibility cloaks" were based on transformational metamaterials that do not exist in nature, with a very complex structure, which do not reflect the light falling on them, but force it to go around the hidden object, then a completely different mechanism and other materials work here.

It is based on the so-called plasmonic metamaterials (plasmons are quasi-particles, wave clusters in the crystal lattice, behaving like an independent particle). Their main feature in application to the physics of invisibility is that they scatter light differently from ordinary ones. If you make a mirror out of them, a person will see in it not his own reflection, but a negative. If you surround an object with such material (and, as it turns out, of any shape), then the light scattered by the object and the light scattered by the plasmon screen will destroy each other when they meet. Which was demonstrated in the experiment of the Texas group, and then published in the New Journal of Physics.

Professor Andrea Alu, who is leading the study, believes that plasmonic materials are much better suited to create invisibility than the metamaterials used in the past. According to him, they are incomparably more reliable and can operate in a wider light spectrum, although, we recall, the optical range is also not yet available to them. However, there are no physical prohibitions on the visible range, there are only purely technical barriers, therefore, according to Alu, his group is currently trying to expand the capabilities of its "invisible tube", including the ability to extend plasmonic invisibility to visible light.
