Woland became interested in the novel about Pontius Pilate: “Let me see,” Woland held out his hand, palm up. “Unfortunately, I can’t do this,” the master replied, “because I burned it in the stove. “Sorry, I won’t believe it, - answered Woland, - this cannot be. Manuscripts do not burn. - He turned to Behemoth and said: - Come on, Behemoth, give me a novel.

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. ... >>

Artificial leaves have the functions of living 25.03.2019

Researchers at the University of Illinois (USA, Chicago), after numerous attempts, have finally developed artificial scalable leaves that perform the same functions as living plants, namely: they convert carbon dioxide into water and carbon monoxide. They also produce oxygen. According to scientists, such sheets can be used for various purposes: to improve the quality of the surrounding air, to obtain cheap fuel.

Every plant on earth is a small natural "power plant" that transforms incoming sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into energy. For about ten years, scientists unsuccessfully tried to create a copy of a natural, functioning by analogy with the present, sheet. A team at the University of Illinois was the first to solve this problem and developed a new leaf model that worked equally well in the lab and in the field.

Artificial plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. They convert carbon dioxide into oxygen (O2) and gas (CO), which is the basis for synthetic fuels: gasoline, methyl alcohol. All previously created artificial leaves, unfortunately, were not able to accumulate CO2 from the surrounding air. However, the new leaf systems succeeded.

Scientists have designed an artificial photosynthesis system with a productivity that is 14 times higher than that of living plants. It consists of elements that receive the rays of the sun, on the surface of which catalysts are located. The surface breaks down water molecules and also accumulates carbon dioxide from the air. Previously, such a process was impossible, because the duplicate leaves did not have stomata - tiny holes through which they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

The scientists placed the artificial leaf in a permeable, dense shell made of ammonium resin. It was impregnated with a water-based electrolyte. To mimic the process of water evaporation that occurs in green plants, the researchers made ammonium resin take carbon dioxide from the air. Under the semiconductor film, carbon dioxide was converted into CO or carbon monoxide. This compound can be collected from the inside of the leaf and used for distillation into fuel.
