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. ... >>

Named the maximum age of a person 23.06.2021

There is a relationship between life expectancy and how quickly you recover from diseases. This opinion is shared by biogerontology professor Richard Faragher.

The life expectancy of most of us is around 80 years, but there are people who defy expectations and live up to 100 years and beyond. In some places, such as Okinawa in Japan or Sardinia in Italy, there are especially many centenarians who have crossed the centennial milestone. The oldest person in history, a French woman named Jeanne Calment, lived to be 122 years old. She was born in 1875, when the average life expectancy was approximately 43 years.

But what is the maximum possible duration of human life? This question has been asked by people for centuries. While the average life expectancy is relatively easy to calculate, the maximum (that is, the highest age a person can reach) is much more difficult to determine.

According to previous studies, the upper limit is somewhere around 140 years. But a more recent study suggests that it is located closer to 150 years.

The scientist also believes that the organs of the human body are able to function for about 120 years, and this is what determines the duration of human life.
