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. ... >>

First steam-powered rocket 11.01.2019

An amazing spaceship that never runs out of fuel is ready to revolutionize space exploration.

A project called World Is Not Enough (abbr. WINE) solved the problem of lack of fuel for long-haul flights. Instead of using fuel from an auxiliary tank, it simply extracts water from the environment and turns it into steam. Yes, yes, a steam space rocket, just like in Jules Verne's novels, is not fiction, but reality.

"This technology can be used to get to the Moon, Ceres, Europa, Titan, Pluto, asteroids - anywhere in space where there is enough water and optimally low gravity," says Phil Metzger, a researcher at the University of Central Florida.

With NASA money, Honeybee Robotics has already built the first microwave-sized prototype space steam engine. Metzger performed the basic calculations using computer simulations, and when it came time to test the WINE prototype, UCF provided him with materials that mimic the astroid - in order to test as close as possible to real conditions whether the ship could drill through the ice.

According to Metzger himself in a press release, the launch was successful. "WINE successfully drilled through ice in a vacuum, turned it into rocket fuel and took off on a jet of steam." His invention may indeed be the solution to the problem of long-distance space travel. Astronomers have already established that many planets, their moons (including our own) and asteroids have a lot of water - however, all of it is in a frozen state. But where will the machine get the energy to start drilling? The inventors have foreseen this too: WINE also has a solar panel that can generate enough energy to drill and turn ice into steam.

And, of course, one of the most important advantages of such a strategy is its cheapness. A steam engine costs an order of magnitude less than a rocket engine, while it can receive fuel virtually free of charge and in an almost unlimited amount.
