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 ... >>

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 Mexico City sinks into the ground
06.01.2011
The German scientific satellite TerraSAR-X, launched in 2007, is capable of conducting radar of the earth's surface with a resolution of up to one meter.
Maps of the Mexican capital built according to his data showed that most areas of the huge city (population with suburbs about 18 million people) sink into the ground. In just four months, from September 2009 to January 2010, in places there was a subsidence of 10 centimeters. This is due to the pumping of underground water to supply the townspeople.
It is not yet clear whether the previous level of the soil is restored after a season of heavy rains replenishing underground reservoirs.
