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.

Stonehenge's true origin revealed 13.04.2018

British archaeologist Mike Pitts found out that two large stones that are part of the Stonehenge megalithic structure were originally located on the plain near Salisbury.

Previously, it was believed that all sandstone boulders (sarsen) were brought from another place. Since the 70s, scientists have been convinced that the sarsens used to build the megalith were moved from Marlborough Downs, which is 35 kilometers from Stonehenge. However, it remained a mystery why the creators of the cromlech did not erect it at the location of the stones, the transportation of which is very difficult.

According to the researcher, the Heel Stone and Stone Number 16 were already at the construction site. This is indicated by the absence of traces of processing of these two boulders, which were found on other sarsens. The archaeologist also found traces of a large depression next to the Heel Stone, which could have been left after the boulder was excavated. The sixteenth stone has the same hole.

In addition, the line drawn through these two stones indicates the point on the horizon where the Sun rises on the day of the summer solstice. Pitts believes that the natural arrangement of the boulders could be the reason for the construction of the entire complex.

Cromlech is an ancient structure, which consists of several vertically placed stones forming a circle. They are found throughout Eurasia, but the most famous are Stonehenge and Avebury.
