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 Hyperactivity appears due to attention deficit
09.12.2016
A group of researchers from the University of Nijmegen (Netherlands) established the nature of the interdependence between attention deficit disorder (ADD) and hyperactivity in school-age children.
Tom Heskis specializes in using computer algorithms to find cause and effect relationships in large amounts of data. "We very often see characteristics in combination, but you can't just say that inattention - attention deficit disorder - leads to hyperactivity, or vice versa. At least a third factor is always needed, which can reveal information about a possible causal relationship" , - he said.
Heskies, as the lead author of the study, used information provided by other researchers. Certain genetic variations are known to be associated with a higher risk of developing ADD. In addition, scientists know that men are more prone to it than women.
“In two cases, our computer algorithms found a causal relationship that leads from lack of attention to hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, and not vice versa. In three separate, independent data sets, there is no evidence that hyperactive behavior is caused by an inability to focus on anything.” , scientists noted.
