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 Drone - helium balloon
20.11.2021
Despite the ease of use, multicopter drones make quite a lot of noise during operation, consume a lot of energy, and besides, they are potentially dangerous due to rotating blades. An alternative was presented by the Japanese company NTT Docomo, releasing a balloon-like drone that moves extremely quietly.
Classic drones with spinning blades pose some threat to humans, animals, and even other drones. Many of them use sensors and sophisticated algorithms for avoiding obstacles, some manufacturers create special casings to protect against the consequences of collisions and other solutions to maintain functionality even after an incident.
Docomo's idea is much simpler - get rid of the blades completely. The new drone is essentially a balloon filled with helium. The bottom-mounted camera allows you to take photos and videos, and the drone also has a multi-colored LED backlight that can be turned on as needed.
The main advantage of the novelty is that it practically does not make sounds in flight. In addition, there is no need to constantly maintain the device in the air due to the use of an inflatable ball in the design, which ensures a long time of autonomous flight.
An exclusive component of the Docomo drone is its propulsion system. Miniature ultrasonic modules are mounted on a lightweight frame, generating microvibrations in the air - they allow the drone to move in any direction.
Balloon drones have been around for quite some time, but some still use propellers and others are balloon-kite hybrids designed to operate at high altitudes. Docomo says its solution is perfect for use during any kind of event, indoors or outdoors (we can assume that the weather for this should be close to ideally calm).
