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 The computer fetters the imagination of the designer
07.01.2005
In many design bureaus, drawing boards have been replaced by computer monitors, and design engineers do not draw, but combine their designs from ready-made drawings of individual assemblies and parts stored in the computer's memory.
Computer-aided design greatly speeds up and simplifies the work of an engineer, but, as an experiment conducted at the Technical University of Dresden (Germany) showed, in the early stages of design, work in the old fashioned way, with whatman paper, pencil and drawing pen, is preferable. 66 students, future engineers who can work with computer programs for design, were asked to design a barbecue grill.
At the same time, 22 students were given only paper and preparations, another 22 had to draw their own sketches on a computer tablet using an electronic pencil, and a third group was armed with computers with the latest automatic design software. The results of the first two groups not only surpassed the successes of computer designers, but also appeared much faster. And "handmade" sketches were easier to read.
According to the psychologists who conducted the experiment, a pencil is much easier to use than a computer with its complex system of commands and menus. The mental effort goes mostly to getting the program right, not to finding elegant engineering solutions. In the future, when concretizing the idea, it is better to use a computer.
