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.

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. ... >>

A fundamentally new type of photosynthesis has been discovered 30.06.2018

Researchers at Imperial College London have described a new kind of photosynthesis they discovered that they believe could change our understanding of some of the processes that take place in the natural environment. It is not yet very clear whether this new knowledge can be used in the field of clean alternative energy, but it certainly can be used to develop specially designed crops that will be more efficient than existing ones.

The new photosynthesis process uses near-infrared (NIR) rather than visible light. In normal photosynthesis, which is used by all plants, the green pigment chlorophyll-a takes part, which has a maximum absorption coefficient in the red region of the visible spectrum.

During the work, British researchers found that some types of cyanobacteria use chlorophyll-f (chlorophyll-f) instead of chlorophyll-a, which effectively absorbs near-infrared light. This, in turn, allows cyanobacteria to live and thrive in places where normal light does not penetrate, but thermal (infrared) radiation reaches.

Scientists have long known chlorophyll-f, but recent research has helped link this pigment to a new type of photosynthesis. In addition, the presence of a new type of photosynthesis that is "beyond the red limit" is of great importance for the field of astrobiology, biology that studies life of extraterrestrial origin. Astrobiologists use the term "red limit" to describe the minimum amount of energy that plants must receive for the process of photosynthesis.

"This discovery is something that could fundamentally change the material found in the textbooks of biology and astrobiology" - says Professor Bill Rutherford (Bill Rutherford). the ability to "feed on the light" even at night."
