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 LiO2 can replace Li-Ion
02.02.2016
Despite technological progress in the smartphone industry, users of many models complain about insufficient battery life. The task of creating a high-capacity battery with compact dimensions is urgent, and the best minds in research laboratories are trying to create the battery of the future.
Scientists from the Argonne National Laboratory (USA), the University of Utah (USA), the University of Louisville (USA), the University of Illinois at Chicago (USA), Hanyang University (South Korea) have created a prototype of the so-called "lithium-oxygen" battery. This novelty uses lithium oxide (LiO2) and has five times the capacity of modern lithium-ion batteries (according to the source). Interestingly, attempts have already been made to create a battery of this type, but they have remained at the project stage, since lithium oxide is difficult to synthesize in pure form. The researchers were able to establish that crystalline LiO2 can be stabilized through the use of graphene cathodes.
The results of the study showed that the LiO2 in the battery can remain stable even when the battery is continuously charged and discharged at a relatively low voltage of 3,2 V. According to the inventors, their discovery is an important step towards creating a new type of high-capacity battery.
