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.

Random news from the Archive Busy women stay healthy 01.09.2012 Working moms trying to "get it all right" can add better health to their list of lifestyle benefits. A study by researchers at the University of Akron, Ohio, found that women in their 40s who have full-time jobs are in better health than their peers who work part-time, occasionally or completely sacrifice their careers for the sake of the household. Scientists analyzed data on the health status of 2 women who became mothers between 540 and 1978. In doing so, they took into account factors such as employment history before pregnancy, racial origin, intelligence level, the fact that the child was raised alone, existing health problems and age at the time of first birth. The results of the analysis indicate that decisions made by women at the beginning of their professional career can affect their health in later life. For example, at the age of 1995, women who returned to full-time employment shortly after giving birth are characterized by better physical and mental health, including greater mobility, greater energy, less tendency to depressive states, and so on. According to the researchers, the positive impact of work on women's health is due to the fact that it gives them a sense of purpose, self-esteem, control over the situation and independence. They have a niche in which they are a specialist and receive financial rewards for this. In this regard, part-time employment is very inferior to full-time employment, as it means, at a minimum, lower wages, less chance of promotion, and insecurity about keeping a job. Temporary employment interspersed with periods of unemployment also creates additional barriers to decent employment that tend to build up over time. The authors note that women often sacrifice a lot for the benefit of children and families. However, they urge young women not to consider marriage and childbearing as an excuse for giving up education and professional aspirations. Staying busy keeps you healthy and, in the event of a divorce, greatly eases the financial turning point.
