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 battery the size of a grain of salt
25.02.2022
A group of German scientists led by the Chemnitz University of Technology has created the smallest battery in the world - it is less than one square millimeter in diameter.
Such a battery has a capacity of 100 microwatt-hours per square centimeter. Subsequently, it can be used to power small sensors in the human body, such as those that monitor oxygen levels or monitor the recovery of the body after surgery.
During the creation of the battery, scientists used the same method that Tesla uses when creating its own batteries. Thin layers of polymer, metal, and dielectric materials were deposited on the surface of the stretched plate. When they begin to flake off from each other due to mechanical stress, a voltage drop occurs.
This method is compatible with established technologies for the production of microcircuits, and also allows the production of miniature batteries with high performance.
