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.

Radeon RX 6900 XT NITRO+ graphics card 16.12.2020

Sapphire has introduced the flagship graphics accelerator Radeon RX 6900 XT in a proprietary version of NITRO +. Previously, the manufacturer showed the Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 models in the same version.

Due to its huge cooling system, the Sapphire Radeon RX 6900 XT NITRO+ requires three free expansion slots inside the computer case. The length of the video card is 310 mm.

The presented version of the Radeon RX 6900 XT received a slight factory overclocking of the GPU.

For gaming and boost modes, the manufacturer claims frequencies of 2050 and 2285 MHz, respectively, which is 1,6% higher than the reference values announced by AMD for this model. The card received a dual BIOS system with quiet and productive modes.

For additional power, the card is equipped with 8-pin connectors, which is rather curious, since most of the non-reference Radeon RX 6900 XT variants presented so far are equipped with three of these connectors. On the other hand, the PCI Express 4.0 interface and two 8-pin connectors are capable of transferring up to 375W, which should be enough for the Radeon RX 6900 XT NITRO+ even with a little headroom. For this option, the company claims a maximum power consumption of 340 watts. The manufacturer recommends using an 850W power supply for it.

The video card is equipped with a non-standard set of interfaces: three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI. Whether the manufacturer plans to release a version of the Radeon RX 6900 XT NITRO + SE, as was the case with the Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 models, is still unknown. The NITRO + SE variant is distinguished by ARGB illumination of the cooling fans and the presence of a USB Type-C connector.
