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 Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>
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 tunnel through the earth
13.04.2017
Japanese scientists from JAMSTEC announced that for the first time in history they plan to drill a tunnel from the surface through the entire thickness of the earth's crust.
Mankind has been trying to reach the Earth's mantle for 50 years, but fails time after time. More recently, for example, the Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling attempted this ambitious task, but was only able to go as deep as 700 meters. As you know, the earth's crust is the outer solid shell of the Earth, which is the upper part of the lithosphere, and its thickness fluctuates due to the inhomogeneous relief.
To achieve their goal, Japanese researchers intend to use the drilling ship Chikyu. This vessel differs from its counterparts in that it is able to drill into the oceanic crust three times deeper than its predecessor vessels. The thickness of the crust is 5-10 kilometers, and therefore the process will occur in three stages. First, the drill will go deep for 4 km, then it will go through another 5 km of the crust layer, and only then will it give scientists the opportunity to collect samples from the mantle.
A preliminary test will begin off the coast of Hawaii in September 2017. The project schedule is still being finalized, but Natsue Abe, a JAMSTEC researcher, told CNN that the drilling start date is likely to be 2030. Points near Costa Rica and the coast of Mexico are also considered as potential sites for the experiment.
The mission has several main goals, Abe said. First of all, of course, this is the study of the mantle: for the Japanese, the ability to predict seismic activity in advance plays a critical role. In addition, they want to better understand what constitutes the boundary between the crust and the mantle, and geological samples will tell a lot about the early history of our planet.
The problem, as always, lies primarily in financing: large-scale drilling is very, very expensive. In addition, the equipment will obviously need to be upgraded, but newly developed next-generation materials have already made this process technically feasible, at least on paper.
