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 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.

Random news from the Archive House-thermostat
02.02.2004
In the German city of Ludwigshafen, a house was built, the walls of which maintain a constant temperature in the rooms.
10-25 percent of plastic microcapsules filled with low-melting solid hydrocarbon - paraffin - were introduced into the wall plaster. When the temperature rises above 24 degrees Celsius, the paraffin starts to melt and consumes some of the heat. On cooling, it, on the contrary, releases the latent heat of fusion.
A two-centimeter layer of paraffin plaster has the same heat-insulating properties as a twenty-centimeter brick wall.
