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. ... >>

Payment cards with built-in fingerprint scanner 15.03.2019

British bank Natwest has announced the launch of a test program under which its selected customers will receive payment cards with built-in fingerprint scanners. The program starts in mid-April this year, at the first stage only 200 people will participate in it.

Using a payment card with a fingerprint scanner, the client will be able to pay contactlessly (that is, using Mastercard PayPass / Visa PayWave NFC systems), without entering a PIN code and without leaving a personal signature on the check. Also, such transactions will not be subject to the standard restrictions on the maximum amount of payment (in the UK - ?30).

To date, when buying goods worth more than £30, the British buyer must use exclusively the "Chip and PIN" method, that is, insert (and not attach) the card to the terminal, allowing it to read information from the chip and enter the PIN code.

The data about the user's fingerprints is stored on the card chip in an encrypted form, so that if the fingerprint is successfully recognized, the card transmits to the terminal only information about the approval of the operation, and not data about the fingerprints themselves. Thus, attackers will not be able to steal the cardholder's personal information as easily as it happens with PIN or CVV codes, which can simply be "peeped".

To make a "biometric" card, you must physically visit a bank branch, where the client's fingerprints will be taken, which will then be recorded on a chip. However, the developers hope that in the near future, users will be able to write fingerprint data to the card on their own using any smartphone with a built-in scanner.
