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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Ultra compact LED
28.01.2007
ROHM recently completed the development of an ultra-compact LED that currently has the smallest volume and area in the world.
The SML-P12 (PicoLED) series LEDs are ideal for applications that require thin, compact components such as cell phone keypads, dot matrices, and compact seven-segment meters. Mass production of products is planned for April 2007.
Currently, the smallest available chip is considered to be a compact 1608 chip LED (1,6x0,8 mm). However, the use of ultra-precise technology has enabled ROHM to develop an ultra-compact, ultra-thin, 0,2mm thick LED with a full spectrum of colors, previously considered impossible due to the significant loss in brightness of conventional LEDs.
The main features of SML-P12 (PicoLED): ultra-compact; 53% less area and 74% less volume than the standard 1608. Samples are available in the following color range: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and white.
