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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Bacteria help produce nanomaterial for computers 24.07.2019

Scientists from the UK and the Netherlands have come up with a new way to get nanomaterials from graphene: mix oxidized graphene and bacteria. Their method is economical, less time consuming and also environmentally friendly compared to the chemical production of the material. The method could lead to the creation of innovative computer technology and medical equipment, according to the website of the University of Rochester.

To create new and more efficient computers, medical devices and other advanced technologies, researchers are turning to nanomaterials - materials controlled at the scale of atoms or molecules that have unique properties. One such revolutionary compound is graphene, a two-dimensional form of carbon. This thin carbon flake has extraordinary mechanical strength and flexibility and is able to easily conduct electricity. However, we cannot yet actively fold graphene in everyday life: it is very difficult to produce it on a large scale. And not only from an economic point of view: graphene obtained in large quantities is denser and loses its unique properties.

Graphene is mined from graphite, the material used in regular pencils. At exactly one atom thick, graphene is the thinnest yet strongest two-dimensional material known to science. In 2010, scientists from the University of Manchester received the Nobel Prize in Physics for groundbreaking experiments with graphene: they were able to make graphene by exfoliating graphite with a simple adhesive tape. However, their method produced a small amount of material.

To produce more graphene materials, a team of researchers led by Anne Meyer, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Rochester, started with a vial of graphite. They gradually flaked off the graphite to graphene oxide, which was then mixed with Shewanella bacteria. They left the vial of bacteria and graphene oxide overnight, during which the bacteria converted the material into graphene by removing the oxygen groups.

Graphene oxide itself is a poor conductor of electricity, but it is easy to produce. And bacteria-derived graphene is not only a good conductor, it's also much thinner and more stable than chemically-derived graphene. In addition, it can be stored much longer.

The graphene nanomaterial has many applications. It can be used to produce field effect transistor (FET) biosensors. FET biosensors are devices that detect biological molecules and can be used, for example, for real-time glucose monitoring in diabetic patients.

Bacteria-derived graphene material could also be the basis for conductive ink, which could in turn be used to make faster and more efficient computer keyboards, circuit boards, or small wires. According to Meyer, the use of conductive ink is "an easier and more cost-effective way to produce electrical circuits than traditional methods." Conductive ink can also be used to create electrical circuits over non-traditional materials such as fabric or paper.
