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.

Random news from the Archive Water-cooled capital 10.06.2006 Japan's climate warming is four times faster than global warming. Tokyo is particularly affected, where the average temperature has risen by three degrees Celsius over the past hundred years. In front of the parliament building in the center of the Japanese capital, a new method of lowering the air temperature is being tested. Pumps, powered by wind and solar energy, pump out water seeping into the subway tunnels from underground and spray it onto the asphalt. In summer, when the air temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius, the asphalt in the center of the capital often warms up to 60 degrees. Spraying water made it possible to reduce its temperature by 10 degrees, and the air temperature above the pavement - by one degree. The main reason for the unbearable summer temperatures in Tokyo is the construction and asphalting of all free areas, the disappearance of parks, squares and lawns, as well as the increased work of air conditioners. Pumping heat from the premises to the street, the air conditioner adds to it the heat that occurs during its operation. As a result, buildings radiate heat. The government has recommended a retreat from the strict code of business attire in institutions, ditching jackets and ties, and adjusting air conditioners to a slightly higher temperature. To set an example of summer clothing style, Japanese government ministers appeared at meetings and press conferences all summer long in light short-sleeved shirts, light trousers and no ties.
