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.

biodegradable straw made of wood 26.02.2020

It is no secret that the use of ordinary plastic straws for drinking leads to unusual and devastating environmental consequences - especially in the context of their further processing and destruction. This massive, without any exaggeration, problem is being fought by many specialists and companies, but not all of them offer truly effective solutions. It is for this reason that the Finnish start-up company Sulapac offers its own solution to the problem, and quite elegantly - in collaboration with Stora Enso, they presented their concept of wooden drinking straws, which have very unusual properties for ordinary wood.

Their main feature is that they are completely recyclable - in other words, it can be subjected to further cyclic processing without harm to the environment. They are known to be composed of 100% special biodegradable wood material from Sulapac, which in turn is predominantly made up of wood chips, which are bound by a special binder.

This technological process allows them to be used as cyclical goods, which in turn can provide an opportunity for manufacturers to reduce the cost of making straws. With regard to Stora Enso's involvement, it was Stora Enso who prepared the technological foothold for creating a wooden version of plastic drinking straws, thus improving the final biomass, which has a noticeably higher degree of decomposition and does not differ in any noticeable harm compared to traditional plastic options.

This type of straw Sulapac plans to bring to the masses in the most decisive way - in particular its plans to popularize a similar approach to creating something that usually involves serious environmental consequences of a not very positive nature. Thus, the presented type of straw can really become a new environmental standard in the near future.
