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 Global Fresh Water Survey
28.07.2022
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will survey more than 95% of the Earth's lakes, rivers and reservoirs.
Researchers are able to measure water levels in only a few thousand lakes on the planet and have little to no data on the planet's important river systems.
But this problem has been solved thanks to a collaboration between the French space agency Center National d'Etudes Spatial (CNES), involving the Canadian Space Agency and the United Kingdom Space Agency, according to NASA, which is also involved in the collaboration.
The SWOT satellite is scheduled to launch this November from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Engineers and technicians are currently finalizing SWOT at Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, France.
This will help to better understand the Earth's water cycle and contribute to better management of water resources, as well as increase knowledge about how climate change affects lakes, rivers and reservoirs.
SWOT can measure more than 95% of the Earth's lakes larger than 6 hectares and rivers larger than 100 meters wide.
Over the ocean, the satellite will be able to "see" elements such as eddies for less than 100 kilometers.
