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 New use for Blu-ray discs
12.10.2012
Japanese companies Memory-Tech, krypton, Q-tec and Camerata Tokyo intend to offer the market a new "format" of audio discs, which uses Blu-ray discs as a medium. These manufacturers have formed an alliance called "Promotion Group of Blu-ray Disc for High Resolution Audio", which will promote the development.
The new discs will use 96kHz/24bit or 192kHz/24bit encoding with Linear PCM (uncompressed) to store sound recordings. The main advantage of Linear PCM - high quality, free from loss associated with compression. The main disadvantage is the large consumption of disk space.
The new discs will be compatible with existing BD players and recorders. Taking into account that in the BD Video standard it is obligatory to support only 96 kHz sampling rate, and 192 kHz is an option, one and the same recording will have to be placed on discs in two versions.
The members of the alliance are going to offer record companies complete sets of equipment for creating and replicating new discs. Camerata Tokyo plans to release the first three albums in the new format in November. They are expected to be no more expensive than SACD editions.
