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. ... >>

Biodegradable plastic from potatoes 26.11.2019

Vietnamese researchers, Nong Van Phuoc and Dang Nguyen Xuan Trong, fourth-year students at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (HCM), have created a biodegradable plastic from potato starch. The goal is to reduce the use of single-use plastic products.

The main specialization of researchers is business administration and international trade. At the beginning of last year, the Phuoc school held a business idea competition in which students took part. One of the researchers' goals was to reduce the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment. While searching for an idea for a competition, Nong Van Phuoc noticed that some of the female students were eating edible rice paper that looked like plastic bags. And wondered if rice paper could be used as plastic bags?

As a result, Phuoc and Trong began experimenting with cornstarch and cassava starch. But the tests were not successful. The researchers then discovered that starch extracted from potatoes could be used to make biodegradable bags. Potato starch is mixed with water and glycerin according to the formula to create a mixture.

The mixture is boiled until the thickening process begins, then placed in molds in which it is naturally dried in the sun during the day. Biodegradable potato starch bags are a good alternative to plastic, but only dry food can be stored in them. Students also made spoons and small bowls from potato starch that can withstand cold or hot liquids for 30-45 minutes.

Biodegradable tableware can be used for up to one year if stored at the correct temperature.

"Our products decompose easily within three to five months. They are absolutely safe for humans," said Dang Nguyen Xuan Trong.
