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 New generation rover
18.07.2016
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that after a comprehensive study and evaluation of the next-generation rover project, specialists are ready to begin its creation.
The new rover should go to the Red Planet in the summer of 2020 and arrive there in February 2021. For planting, a region will be selected where conditions in the past may have been suitable for the existence of microorganisms. The robot will have to study the availability and suitability of local resources, including oxygen, for use by subsequent manned missions.
To reduce costs and risks, the design of the new rover will be based on the Curiosity platform. Recall that this device made a successful landing on the surface of Mars near Gale Crater in August 2012. Curiosity is the largest and heaviest planetary rover ever created by man: it weighs 899 kg, the length and width of the vehicle are 3 and 2,8 m, respectively.
Despite the similarity with Curiosity, the new rover will receive fundamentally different scientific instruments. In particular, the machine will be equipped with a manipulator with a special drill and a system of sampling tubes. Reservoirs with samples of Martian rocks are planned to be left in certain places so that future automatic vehicles can later deliver them to Earth for the purpose of comprehensive study in laboratories.
The equipment will include a PIXL X-ray fluorimetric spectrometer, which will also contain a high-resolution thermal imager to determine the composition of the Martian soil and search for rare elements. Another instrument is the SHERLOC ultraviolet Raman spectrometer, which will produce small scale images.
The rover will receive a set of sensors to measure temperature, wind speed and direction, pressure, relative humidity, dust size and shape. Finally, we talk about an improved system of high-resolution cameras and a georadar.
