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 Rocket for flights to Mars and flights on Earth
02.10.2017
Elon Musk has revealed SpaceX's plans to colonize Mars. In addition, he presented a rocket that can be used both for flights to Mars and for travel on Earth.
SpaceX is developing a new transportation system called BFR (Big F*cking Rocket) that will allow flights to the Moon and Mars, as well as to get anywhere on Earth in less than an hour. It will include a reusable rocket powered by 31 Raptor engines and a manned spacecraft.
Musk hopes to have the first rocket launch by 2022. According to the head of SpaceX, in order to find money for a new project, it will be necessary to "cut" other products of the company, or rather, abandon the Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and Dragon.
SpaceX hopes to send four ships to Mars by 2024; two of them - with astronauts on board. (The ship, Musk said, will be equipped with 40 cabins and will be able to carry about 100 people.) Expeditions will search for water sources and prepare primary infrastructure.
BFR can also be used for flights on Earth, they will take no more than an hour. So, for example, from New York to Shanghai can be reached in 39 minutes, and to London - in 29 minutes. The maximum speed of the rocket will be 27 kilometers per hour.
