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 ... >>

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 Hywind Tampen, world's largest floating wind farm, launched
13.11.2022
Norwegian energy company Equinor, better known for projects in the oil and gas industry, has begun commissioning the world's largest (according to it) floating wind farm, with more turbines to start operating at the end of the current beginning of next years.
The first turbine under the Hywind Tampen project started operating on Sunday. Although this is renewable energy, all electricity produced will be used exclusively to obtain oil and gas from the North Sea sites.
Hywind Tampen is located 140 km off the coast of Norway, seven turbines should be operational by the end of 2022, and four more should be installed next year. After the full implementation of the project, its capacity will be 88 MW.
In addition to Equinor, Var Energi, INPEX Idemitsu, Petoro, Wintershall Dea and OMV are participating in the project. According to reports, Hywind Tampen will provide up to 35% of the energy for the Gullfaks and Snorre oil and gas developments. The use of renewable energy will reduce the carbon footprint of fossil fuel extraction. However, such a project still draws criticism from eco-activists, since hydrocarbons, as a result, make the main contribution to environmental pollution.
In 2017, Equinor already launched the Hywind Scotland project, a 30MW five-turbine power plant that Equinor calls the world's first floating wind farm.
Since then, the number of such solutions has increased significantly. Projects from Scotland to the US to China are at various stages of implementation. It is known that only the United States intends to prove the total amount of energy supplied by floating wind farms to 15 GW by 2035. In addition, the country plans to reduce the cost of such power plants by more than 70%.
