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. ... >>

Naked diggers don't age 03.02.2018

American scientists have found that naked mole rats do not age and do not begin to die more often with age. This discovery is important for understanding the mechanism of aging.

Naked mole rats are one of the most mysterious creatures on Earth. They never actually develop cancer, are pain tolerant, and can survive without oxygen for up to 18 minutes. Now, researchers have discovered a new "superpower" of these animals.

Humans and the vast majority of mammals die according to a statistical relationship that Benjamin Gompertz discovered in 1825. According to the Gompertz distribution, the probability of death increases with age. In humans, it increases almost logarithmically: the probability of dying at 20 is ten times lower than at 60.

Scientists have been studying naked mole rats for 30 years. For each animal, they recorded the date of birth and date of death, as well as whether they died due to experiments or for some other reason. It turned out that the probability of death in naked mole rats is 0,0001 - regardless of the years lived, and even slightly decreases with age. They mature at about six months of age and have an average laboratory life of approximately six years. Some individuals can live up to 30 years of age.

Scientists believe that the cells of naked mole rats have a high activity of DNA repair systems, as well as chaperones - proteins that maintain the correct structure of other proteins. This allows animals not to accumulate genetic defects.

As the researchers emphasize, it is possible that naked mole rats do age, but much later than other mammals, and this process proceeds in an atypical way. Perhaps, after 20-30 years of age, diggers can no longer maintain the repair functions of the body, which wears out quickly as a result.
