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 Winds on Jupiter three times faster than tornadoes on Earth
26.03.2021
Astronomers for the first time managed to fix stratospheric winds on Jupiter and calculate their speed - it reaches 1450 km / h.
Scientists have found an alternative way to measure wind speed. In 1994, the planet Jupiter collided with a comet, as a result of which new molecules appeared in the giant planet's stratosphere, which have remained there since then and are carried by the winds.
Astronomers have observed the movement of one type of molecule - hydrogen cyanide - to measure stratospheric "jets". So scientists call narrow bands of wind, similar to wind jets in the Earth's atmosphere. Scientists have calculated that the speed of the jets near the poles reached 400 m / s, or 1450 km / h, and this is three times more than the speed of the most powerful tornadoes on Earth.
In addition, near the planet's equator, the average speed of stratospheric winds reaches 600 km/h. "Measurements show that the jets can behave like a giant vortex, four times the diameter of the Earth, and a height of 900 kilometers. A vortex of this size could be a unique meteorological phenomenon in our solar system," said Bilal Benmakhi, one of the authors. research at the European Southern Observatory.
Astronomers used to know about strong winds near Jupiter's poles, but then they studied places higher than those they explored this time. Early studies showed that winds in the upper atmosphere would slow down and disappear before reaching the stratosphere. However, new data show that this is not the case, and powerful winds remain in the stratosphere.
