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 A safe and inexpensive way to launch small satellites
21.07.2019
The search for low cost solutions to propel CubeSats is one of the most important components of the rapidly growing commercial satellite launch industry. The small size and relatively low cost have made CubeSats a popular choice for commercial launches in recent years.
The first CubeSat was launched in 1999. Since then, over 1000 have been sent into space. The rapid development and application of nanosatellite technology has greatly increased the complexity of the mission - sparking interest in reliable, low power and highly specific pulsed micropulse systems.
Purdue University researchers have created a novel micropulsation system for nanosatellite applications using a pulsed, liquid-fed plasma engine. It uses liquid propellant for a plasma accelerator with a pulsed Lorentz force and an extended life ignition system driven by nanosecond long pulses.
"Our innovations help address current challenges with CubeSat micropulsation systems, including short lifespan, contamination risks and economic challenges," said Alexei Shashurin, assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at Purdue Technical College. "Our system is capable of operating reliably throughout the mission, and The liquid fuels we use do not pose the pollution risk to subsystems that we see with current options."
