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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Dark matter got darker
10.04.2018
An international team of astronomers led by Richard Massey from Durham University in England has refuted the "brightening" of dark matter, that is, the existence of a non-gravitational interaction between clumps of invisible matter.
Scientists reported the discovery of signs of non-gravitational interaction in dark matter, which is located in the galactic cluster Abell 3827, 1,3 billion light-years from Earth. The researchers studied the distribution of mass in four colliding galaxies using the gravitational lens effect, when an object bends the paths of light rays.
It is assumed that there is a halo of dark matter in the centers of galaxies, which explains the peculiarities of the circular motion of stars around the nucleus. Three clumps of dark matter in Abell 3827 corresponded to the location of three galaxies, but the fourth clump in its motion lagged behind the nearby galaxy by five thousand light-years. This, according to scientists, indicated that not only gravitational forces act in dark matter, but also some other interactions.
In the new study, astronomers used the Atacama Large Millimeter Array and Very Large Telescope radio telescope complexes in Chile, which made it possible to conduct more detailed spectroscopy of galaxies and minimize distortion due to the effect of gravitational lensing. It turned out that the location of the halos in galaxies corresponded to the ?CDM model, according to which dark matter interacts only through gravitational forces.
Dark matter, according to cosmologists, makes up 22 percent of the total mass of the universe (74 percent is dark energy, and the rest is visible matter). It does not interact with ordinary matter through electromagnetic and other fields, with the exception of gravity. The conclusion about its existence was made on the basis of observation of astronomical objects that behaved as if they were affected by a mass hidden from direct observation. At the moment, no particles have yet been discovered from which dark matter could exist.
