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 The Sahara Desert has expanded significantly 04.04.2018 The largest desert in the world has expanded by about 1920% since 10. According to scientists, climate change is one of the most likely reasons why the sands of the Sahara are moving into new regions. Scientists from the University of Maryland (USA) looked at the average annual rainfall in the north of the African continent since 1920 to find out what actually counts as a desert. In this case, it was defined as a natural area where less than 150 mm of precipitation falls per year. According to researchers' calculations, the Sahara increased by 10% between 1920 and 2013. In the summer months, the growth was up to 16%. Lake Chad in the Sahel region, which borders the southern border of the Sahara, has become an important indicator of climate change. "The lake is drying up. This is a very visible sign of a decrease in rainfall in the entire region," scientists say. Weather conditions in the Sahara are influenced not only by human-induced climate change, but also by a number of complex climatic cycles. But all these factors can lead to desertification of land in other parts of the world. This directly affects how much of our planet will remain habitable. “Deserts usually form in the subtropics due to the Hadley cell [element of the earth's atmospheric circulation at tropical latitudes]," says Sumant Nigam. "Through it, air rises at the equator and sinks in the subtropics. But climate change could expand the Hadley circulation and cause northward movement subtropical deserts. The fact that the Sahara is expanding southward also suggests that additional mechanisms are involved, including the North Atlantic Oscillation and other climatic cycles." The researchers note that if the climate continues to change, the desertification of lands around the Sahara will continue. They call this trend unfavorable: the world's population continues to grow, which means that the reduction of areas suitable for agriculture will directly affect the well-being of people.
