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 Vulnerability of Empires 18.12.2023 Scientists from the universities of Wageningen (Netherlands), Cambridge, Exeter (UK) and Washington State (USA) conducted a study on the question of the existence of patterns in the dynamics of the destruction of empires or societies. The study's findings, published in the journal PNAS, point to the importance of domestic factors in the context of states' vulnerability to collapse. Domestic political processes play a key role in states' vulnerability to collapse. Understanding these patterns can help develop more effective strategies for managing and preventing potential crises in modern societies. Professor Tim Kohler from the University of Washington, one of the authors of the study, emphasized that despite the influence of external factors such as natural disasters, their role is usually a trigger that activates the internal dynamics of the state. Scientists analyzed the history of 324 ancient states, spanning five millennia. This approach, usually used to study the risk of death in aging people, was used for the first time to study the probability of the collapse of societies. The results showed that the risk of state collapse increases sharply in the first two centuries after their formation, after which it stabilizes. This allows some societies to last much longer than others. This pattern has been identified both in the history of European societies of the modern era, and in the early civilizations of North and South America, as well as in the Chinese dynasties. For example, the ancient dynasties of China had a life expectancy limit of about 300 years over two millennia. Researchers believe that despite significant differences between modern and ancient societies, the former may be subject to the same mechanisms that have influenced states for millennia. The social injustice, scarcity and extreme climate challenges that destabilized ancient societies can still cause discontent and violence in modern times.
