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 Molecular switches
29.07.2000
Researchers at the University of Illinois (USA) have developed a unique method for preparing a silicon wafer substrate for the deposition of organic molecules. This allows you to create "molecular switches" with an accuracy of individual atoms.
According to the developers, crystalline silicon wafers produced today are quite suitable for the manufacture of switching matrices operating at frequencies up to 100 THz. If the pre-prepared wafer is treated with suitable organic molecules, the surface is covered with a matrix of uniformly rotating memory elements, each simulating the operation of a transistor that switches with each revolution.
The processes of reading and writing information are carried out electrically, but the active element itself is a mechanical device, albeit of an ultra-small size.
