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.

Records are a matter of chance 18.08.2002

It turns out that new athletic records are most often not set due to new training methods, improved technique, improved sports equipment, or outstanding physical qualities of the athlete. And not even thanks to cunning doping, but just by pure chance.

Daniel Hembris and his colleagues at the research center in Jülich, Germany, collected data from 22 different types of track and field competitions that took place at the German Championships from 1980 to 1989. Information such as the weather and other factors at the venue were also recorded. After that, scientists relied, based on the data array, to predict what records could be set at the same championships in 1990-1999.

Moreover, in their forecasts, they proceeded only from random factors, namely from the state of the weather (temperature on the day of the competition, strength and direction of the wind), as well as the height of the competition place above sea level. When they compared their calculations with the real results of the competition, it turned out that in 18 out of 22 sports, the forecasts coincided with the really set records.

Only four types of competitions did not succumb to random forecasting: 110-meter steeplechase, walking for 20 and 50 kilometers and pole vaulting. Success in these four events is due to improvements in equipment (poles, sports shoes), training methods for athletes, or an increase in the number of participants. A somewhat less random result was obtained when world data on the development of 19 sports were statistically processed: in seven of them, records appeared in a non-random way.
