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 Camel milk will be medicine
18.06.2012
Researchers have learned how to create transgenic camel embryos, which in the future will make it possible to obtain milk from these animals enriched with various therapeutic proteins.
The ability of camels to adapt to extreme environmental conditions and their resistance to disease have made these animals an integral component of desert cultures. Scientists at the Dubai Camel Reproduction Center believe that with a little human help, camels could become a source of cheap medicine. They have developed a method to create transgenic camel embryos whose cells carry genes very similar to those of humans. Currently, researchers are working to increase the likelihood of successful implantation of such embryos and the birth of full-fledged camels. The next stage of work will be the introduction of human genes into the cells of genetically modified embryos.
Scientists believe that the step they have taken is decisive, and everything else is a matter of technology. In addition to human genes, they plan to learn how to introduce genes from other species, such as cows, into the camel genome, which will increase the amount of lactation.
Currently, therapeutic proteins such as insulin are produced using bacterial cultures in the laboratory. Getting them as part of camel milk will significantly reduce production costs and increase the availability of medicines for people around the world. The developers believe that they will need about five more years to launch the mass production of curative camel milk.
It is also noted that, perhaps in the future, the developed approach will turn camels into ideal candidates for growing human organs for transplantation.
