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. ... >>

Children love revenge. 19.09.2019

It is natural for us to repay good for good and return evil for evil - or, if we do not, then at least we know that this is the norm of social life. And although personal revenge and vindictiveness in general are not considered very plausible things, revenge is nevertheless treated with understanding. (Fortunately, world culture is full of examples when a noble hero, with whom it is easy for the reader/viewer to associate, takes revenge on someone for something, and we sympathize with him in every possible way.)

But how do ideas develop in a person that one should be grateful for good and that one should punish evil - if necessary, then punish personally? Researchers at Boston University and the University of California, Irvine set up a psychological experiment with 330 children aged 4 to 8 who were asked to play a computer game with four other players. The child saw his partners in the form of avatars on the monitor screen, which were actually controlled by the experimenters.

At first, according to the rules of the game, four other players had stickers, but the child did not, and one of the four could either give the child his only sticker, or keep it for himself. And so it happened - one of the virtual players gave his sticker to the child. Then the situation changed: now the child had a sticker, while the other four did not, and the child could freely decide to whom to give his (if, of course, he wanted to give it). But then there was the second part of the game, in which the player could steal someone else's sticker. And in the same way, first one of the virtual players stole a sticker from a child, and then the child did the same.

Children - even the smallest ones - diligently took revenge on their offenders, that is, when it was their turn to steal stickers, they stole them from those who stole them from them first. But with a sense of gratitude, everything was different: when it was necessary to give away their sticker, the children gave it with equal probability to other players, without showing any preference in relation to the one who gave them their sticker in the previous round of the game.

Children were generally good at remembering who gave them their stickers; and even when the experiment was repeated with children who were especially good at remembering their play partners, the results were the same.

Then the experiment was modified so that the children could express gratitude or take revenge completely at their own will - and they again tried to punish the offender and at the same time were rather indifferent to the opportunity to thank. Tried to "dress up" the avatars so they were the same color as the children's clothes - in case the children paid attention to who looked like them and who didn't. Children may have paid attention to this, but similarity/dissimilarity did not affect their desire to take revenge on the offender and indifference to the benefactor.
