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 Invisible car speakers
24.11.2022
Korean LG Display showed a new development for cars, a very thin Thin Actuator Sound Solution speaker, which the company called "invisible". Due to their modest size and low weight, such speakers can be placed in the most unexpected and previously inaccessible places, hiding from the eyes as much as possible. Although compact, the Thin Actuator Sound Solution vibrates to deliver rich, three-dimensional sound.
LG managed to reduce the size and weight by removing the voice coil, magnet and other components of traditional speakers. The Actuator Sound Solution uses a so-called film exciter: thanks to it, the device is able to transmit vibration to surrounding materials.
Speaker dimensions - 150 millimeters high and 90 millimeters wide, which is slightly larger than the size of a regular passport. The thickness is only 2,5 millimeters, and the weight is 40 grams. This will allow manufacturers to embed an innovative speaker that does not need to be played in almost any part of the cabin. For example, it can be hidden in the upholstery of the canvas, the central tunnel, the front panel and the head restraints.
In addition, the Actuator Sound Solution does not use rare elements such as neodymium commonly used in speakers. Thanks to this, the device turned out to be even more environmentally friendly.
According to the developers, in terms of sound quality, the novelty is not inferior to standard speakers. The Thin Actuator Sound Solution will go on sale next year.
