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 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.

Hottest planet discovered 01.02.2020

American scientists have found that on the day side of the planet KELT-9b, temperatures can reach 7800 degrees Fahrenheit (4300 degrees Celsius). This makes it hotter than M stars, and even some K stars.

The planet KELT-9b is a very hot Jupiter, one of several varieties of exoplanets found in our galaxy. It weighs almost 3 times more than Jupiter.

The planet is located at a distance of about 670 light years. The researchers found that the same side of the planet always faces its star. This led to the fact that the hydrogen molecules are split into pieces, and then flow to the night side and are converted again.

"Such a planet is so extreme in temperature that the processes there are different from many other exoplanets," said Megan Mansfield, a graduate student at the University of Chicago and lead author of the study.

The atmosphere of KELT-9b flows from one part of the planet to another. The wind speed on it could reach 60 kilometers per second, but this does not happen due to the decay of hydrogen molecules.
