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. ... >>

Slugs helped create surgical glue 30.07.2017

Scientists from Harvard University have developed a new type of glue that can be used to "fix" the heart, for example, or joints.

The inspiration for the new material was the whitish, slimy trail that crawling slugs leave behind. The newly created adhesive yields an extremely flexible and fluid-compatible material. Unlike other types of surgical adhesives, the new class of sealants are non-toxic and adhere to wet tissues such as the heart and liver, even when their surfaces are covered in blood. This is due to the fact that the sealant contains positively charged molecules that form stable bonds with biological tissues.

To show how strong this material proved to be, scientists used it to seal a large hole in a pig's heart (removed from the body). When the heart filled with fluid, the adhesive patch expanded with it and did not leak, even when the deformation reached 100%, and the number of pumping cycles - up to tens of thousands. Next, the researchers simulated a situation in which a rat needed an emergency surgical operation, accompanied by a sudden loss of blood. The glue effectively stopped the bleeding from the rat's liver.

This type of material, according to the creators, can also be injected to strengthen, for example, cartilage discs.
