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 Memory makes it difficult to distinguish colors 12.06.2015 Our eye distinguishes many shades of colors: among only blue, we can distinguish azure, and cobalt, and ultramarine, and many more other options. However, in our memory, we still have some kind of “main” color that replaces all shades: azure, cobalt, and ultramarine become just blue. Jonathan Flombaum from Johns Hopkins University and his colleagues from a number of other American research centers set up the following experiment: volunteers were asked to look at a color wheel with 180 different shades and find among them the "best" blue, "best" green, orange etc. Then for a moment (more precisely, for one tenth of a second) they were shown a colored square, which was replaced by an absolutely white square - at this time it was necessary to revive the color of the first square in memory. Finally, the person had to find that color on the same color wheel. As psychologists write in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, when trying to indicate the color they saw, all participants in the experiment were mistaken, trying to point to the one that seemed to them the “best” for the first time, that is, the most corresponding to yellow, blue, green, etc. and not the one that actually happened. Moreover, the craving for such a primary color intensified if, after a colored square, it was necessary to remember its color at least for a split second. That is, the more actively the memory worked, the worse the person found the shade that he really saw. In other words, when we go to the store and take some wallpaper or paint of the same (as it seems to us) shade that we have at home, and then we come and understand that the shade is not at all the same, it’s not the fault so much the seller who convinced us to take not that, but our own memory. The same can happen not only with flowers, but in general with everything that we see: the brain tries to reduce all objects to some basic "prototypes" that have been deposited in it. Of course, when we talk about the best, or basic, or prototypical color, then this has nothing to do with the physics of color - here we are talking about the personal psychological characteristics of the individual. Why this or that object or color suddenly became the main one for him is another question that requires a separate study. It is possible that the clue here lies partly in the language and word usage: if we meet and pronounce the word "blue" more often than the word "azure", this may affect which of the colors our memory will retain.
