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 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.

Random news from the Archive Electric car acceleration record set
24.09.2023
Swiss electric racing car Mythen set an impressive world record, accelerating from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in just 0,956 seconds. This result was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records and was recognized as the fastest acceleration among electric vehicles.
Mythen was created by students from ETH Zurich. This unique vehicle weighs just 140 kilograms and is equipped with an electric motor on each of its four wheels, providing a combined power of up to 240 kilowatts.
To achieve this level of acceleration, the students were able to improve traction by using a vacuum system with a fan. This system helps keep the Mythen closer to the road by removing air from underneath the car. This doubles the grip and therefore significantly increases acceleration.
The result achieved by Mythen surpassed last year's record of the student team from the University of Stuttgart, which took 1,461 seconds to accelerate to one hundred kilometers per hour.
