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.

Trash sensor 10.06.2005

Norwegian engineers have come up with a cheap sensor for sorting garbage.

In each country, the problem of sorting garbage is solved in its own way. In our country, for example, people of free professions, who have taken root near landfills, are engaged in this business. But, say, in Norway they come up with machine guns. A simple and reliable device is needed for sorting packages of various materials.

It was the engineers who made it from the commercialization of Sintef technologies. This spectrometer (which, with all the necessary electronics, costs one and a half hundred euros) is as simple as a CD covered with a thin layer of gold. A hologram is imprinted on its surface, which forms a beam of light.

This beam is then either reflected from the material under study or passes through it, and the instrument software analyzes the change in the spectrum and determines the type of material from it. As a result, it is possible to recognize seven types of plastics, find out the color of glass, and also distinguish an aluminum jar from a steel one.

In the sorting machine, each type of waste will fall into the shredder designed for it, and then into the appropriate container. The Norwegians have already delivered the first prototype of the car in the English Tesco department stores.
