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 Smart watch with a living organism inside 25.12.2022 Scientists at the University of Chicago have come up with an unusual solution to the problem of changing gadgets too often and creating electronic garbage profusely - they have created a smart watch, which is provided by mucous - the easiest organism to feed and care for, almost like a Tamagotchi. The solution even allows you to establish an emotional connection with the smart watch. The use of a conductive protozoan organism - the plasmoid slime Physarum polycephalum - made it possible to create a smart watch that works only if the body in the body is healthy and supplied with food. In fact, the watch is a kind of simple cyborg with interconnected living and inanimate parts. It is expected that the presence of a living organism in electronics will prevent people from mindlessly changing gadgets at will. Irresponsible consumption leads to an increase in the volume of electronic waste on the planet - 40 million tons are added annually. The study of how a living device affects people's behavior showed that this changed the attitude of users to the technologies used - in fact, we are talking about a two-way mutually beneficial cooperation between the watch and its owner. Surveys showed that when using worn gadgets, it was purely consumer one-way use, while the interaction with the experimental model resembled two-way communication, since it was a living organism - many could not just throw away the watch or just put it in the closet indefinitely. The prototype "live" clock is able to show the time and is equipped with a heart rate sensor. The organism is housed in a special recess in the watch case, and the user must regularly feed it a mixture of water and oatmeal to encourage growth. When the body reaches the other side of the notch, a conductive circuit is activated, allowing the heart rate sensor to work. Also, the body goes into sleep mode if it is not fed - it can be brought back to life after days, months or even years. The organization of human-computer interaction is mainly focused on improving productivity, but here it was said about the emphasis on daily care and nutrition, so the result of the study is partly a work of art. Scientists conducted experiments with five participants, during which the latter wore hours for two weeks. The emotional connection turned out to be more significant than when using toys like Tamagotchi - in such cases, after death, it is easy to reboot. Moreover, the participants in the experiment experienced quite a lot of stress when they were ordered to stop feeding the creature in the watch case, experiencing guilt or even grief.
