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. ... >>

Flying 4G tower - drone Flying COW 13.11.2017

Restoring infrastructure to provide communication services to the local population has become a priority for the authorities in Puerto Rico and the United States. The natural disaster that raged there - Hurricane Maria, which destroyed communications and facilities in its path - did not bypass the residents of the Virgin Islands, also owned by the United States. To quickly eliminate the consequences of the devastating cyclone, the Federal Communications Commission allocated $ 77 million necessary to restore communications in the archipelagos.

Part of the budget funds of American taxpayers will go to the installation of new cell towers, while the other part will go to more progressive and advanced solutions in the communications field. The latter include an initiative called Project Loon, a joint effort between Alphabet and AT&T operators, together with T-Mobile.

In addition to the launch of Project Loon, AT&T management announced a trial run of an alternative to bulky balloons - "temporary 4G towers" based on Flying COW (Cell on Wings) unmanned aerial vehicles. With the help of these drones, AT&T will provide local residents with access to voice services and the ability to text in the area affected by the hurricane.

For AT&T, the launch of the Flying COW series mini-helicopter in Puerto Rico was the first tentative, but no less successful step towards the mass introduction of "flying communication towers." Such drones rise to a height of 60-120 m, which allows them to cover an area of about 100 km2 with a wireless network. At the same time, COW UAVs are deprived of the ability to fully maneuver due to being tied to the terrain - a cable connection to a base station on the ground.

At the moment, the first Flying COW drone is deployed in the airspace over San Juan, the largest city in Puerto Rico. In the future, it will be moved to a new location depending on the current needs of the population in connection.
