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. ... >>

Artificial sweeteners make you eat more 23.07.2016

Artificial sweeteners are used to reduce the calorie content of foods: for example, the sweetener sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar, so although it is a carbohydrate, like sucrose, it needs to be added many times less to achieve the same sweet taste as with a much larger portion of regular sugar.

And if a person has obesity or diabetes, such substances are very useful - they help to painlessly adjust the amount of calories and sugar entering the body. But over time, the sweeteners showed a strange and unpleasant side effect: it turned out that because of them, you want to eat more. And the reason, as researchers from the University of Sydney and the Garvan Medical Institute found, lies in the neural system that evaluates both the calorie content of food and its sweet taste.

In the experiment, Drosophila flies were fed food with the addition of sucralose for several days, observing their behavior and analyzing the processes occurring in the nervous system of insects. It turned out that fruit flies in the end began to absorb 30% more calories than if they sat on food with regular sugar. Moreover, the flies became hyperactive, they began to insomnia, and if they fell asleep, then they had poor sleep. Similar symptoms occur with mild starvation (both in animals and in humans), but in this case, no one deliberately starved Drosophila.

The use of a sweetener affects the work of the nerve centers that monitor the energy balance. Sweet taste is an important parameter here, as it indicates carbohydrate content, and carbohydrates are a highly efficient source of energy. And now the energy assessment system at some point understands that the previous sweet taste corresponds to a lower number of calories than before - and at this moment, according to the authors of the work, the correspondence between sweetness and calorie content is recalibrated. As a result, there is an "additional" feeling of hunger.

The same thing happened with experimental mice, which were kept on food with sucralose: the animals began to eat more and, most importantly, the same molecular signal chains worked in their brains as in fruit flies.

Obviously, the mechanism linking sweet taste to energy value is very conservative, and something similar can be found in humans. And, most likely, the type of sweetener does not play any role here.

Perhaps the way out here would be some substances that would calm the neural centers that compare sweetness and calories, and would not allow them to provoke us to gluttony.
