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 on moving nanotubes 26.01.2009 The founder of nanotechnology, Eric Drexler, believed that nanocomputers would use mechanical rather than electrical elements. A project led by scientists from the University of Nottingen, led by Dr. Elena Bichutskaya, allows us to get closer to this dream. And the goal of this project is to create permanent computer memory on two-layer nanotubes. A thin, shorter nanotube is inserted into a thick nanotube fixed on an electrode. When an electrical signal is applied, the thin nanotube moves out of the thick one, reaches the second electrode, closes the circuit, and remains in this position, held by van der Waals forces. A new signal can return the handset to its original state. It turns out that each such pair is one bit, which is either 0 or 1, and the recording density, taking into account the angstrom diameters of nanotubes, turns out to be colossal. The main problem is to make such double tubes in sufficient quantity and evenly fix them on the electrode.
