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.

Cosmic rays to help customs officers 04.05.2004

Konstantin Borozdin from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA) and his collaborators propose to use not X-rays, but radiation penetrating the Universe, cosmic rays, to scan suspicious cargo at customs.

The checked baggage is placed between two cosmic ray detectors - flat ionization chambers with thin strings stretched inside and filled with argon. Cosmic rays ionize the argon, and current discharges jump between the strings. Comparing the discharges in the upper and lower chambers, the computer builds a picture - the shadow of metal objects in the luggage.

Thus, using large ionization chambers, it is possible to shine through at least a whole truck. Heavy metals are especially visible.
