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 Ants can predict earthquakes
16.07.2018
German scientists from the University of Duinsburg-Essen found that ants know exactly when an earthquake will occur: the behavior of insects changes significantly before tremors occur.
In 2009, a group of German researchers led by Gabriele Berberich installed special cameras near anthills located in a seismically active zone. Over the next three years, scientists recorded the lifestyle and behavior of insects around the clock, which allowed them to conclude: ants are able to predict an earthquake.
The fact is that the normal activity of ants consists of daytime food gathering and nighttime rest. But a day before the fluctuations in the earth's surface, the ants dramatically changed their schedule: they continued to stay awake at night, preferring to be outside the anthill, although this made them easy prey for predators.
"Insects showed concern if the magnitude of the earthquake exceeded 2. We assume that ants notice changes in the release of gases or in the Earth's magnetic field. Chemoreceptors that respond to chemicals and magnetoreceptors that detect a magnetic field help insects to perform such a clear analysis. we are not entirely sure of our conclusions, and therefore we will continue our research in areas with more intense tremors," said Gabriela Berberich.
Scientists have also noticed that ants prefer to build their colonies along active faults. They counted more than 1500 anthills built in this way.
German researchers believe that the "talent" of insects to predict earthquakes will help seismologists.
