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.

Random news from the Archive Wetsuit against sharks 05.02.2019 Increasing cases of shark attacks on bathers and surfers right on the beaches simply drive the authorities of countries where there are world resorts crazy. Encounters with sharks are very dangerous for tourists: after all, even a minor wound inflicted by a shark can be fatal. During 2018, in Australia, where tens of millions of people come on vacation, 27 shark attacks on humans were recorded, and one incident turned out to be fatal. Scientists at Flinders University in Adelaide have begun developing a new generation of reliable wetsuits. Now experts are testing a new type of synthetic rubber - neoprene. It is already used in wetsuits, but they want to make it even stronger. Of course, the suit is not able to prevent all injuries and fractures in the event of a meeting with a shark - the force of a shark bite can break a person's bones. But at least in such a suit, the victim will no longer die from blood loss. The modified wetsuits are being tested in the sharks' natural habitat in Spencer Bay, west of Adelaide.
