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. ... >>

Transferring data from a computer to the genome of living bacteria 22.01.2021

Scientists from Columbia University have learned how to transfer data from a computer into the genome of living bacteria.

During the study, the specialists managed to realize the conditions under which it is possible to write 72 bits of data directly into DNA. As a result, scientists wrote down the encoded phrase "Hello world!" into plasmids of live E. coli bacteria. Moreover, the recorded phrase could be read after DNA sequencing of live bacteria.

Traditional data records in DNA are based on encoding the ones and zeros of the data file as a combination of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. At the same time, for reading, in this case, the process of sequencing the encoded sequences is necessary. The cost of the described process can be $3500 per Mbps. Moreover, this is not the most reliable method of recording information in DNA.

Thanks to computer-assisted coding into the DNA of living bacteria, the specialists did not resort to artificial DNA synthesis, thanks to which they managed to save money at least at this stage.
