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 ... >>

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.

Greenland ice is melting fast 28.07.2017

Scientists are concerned about the rapid melting of ice in Greenland. The reason for this is not only global warming, but also the accumulation of algae, which began to rise to the surface.

The white area of the glaciers reflects light, thus eliminating the melting of ice, but due to the appearance of algae on the surface, the reflective effect may not be fully effective, experts say.

The more vegetation there is on the surface, the faster the ice will melt. Before the advent of underwater plants, the sea level rose by 1 mm per year due to global warming. Scientists suggest that the rate of ice disappearance may increase, which cannot but excite the entire scientific world.

The problem of the rapid melting of ice in Greenland has been dealt with for a long time. Various hypotheses have been put forward related to the cause of the destruction of centuries-old ice, including: the actions of underwater volcanoes, greenhouse gas emissions, and even the intervention of an alien force.
