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.

Abu Dhabi scientists work to transform desert sand into fertile soil
Due to the disruption of established import channels during the pandemic, UAE scientists have begun to look for ways to address the lack of a stable source of food, which they see in the study of the properties of black soil.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed weaknesses even in the stable economy of the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, the authorities are concerned that the state is almost completely dependent on food imports from other agricultural countries. Due to quarantine restrictions on imports into the country, discussions have arisen on how best to stimulate the development of agriculture in the country. In this regard, the researchers are developing an artificial fertile soil based on desert sand, but which will be similar in properties to the Ukrainian black soil.
Scientists at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi have received the first results of the study: samples that they previously worked on showed similarities in structure, porosity and soil fertility to samples from Ukraine and Thailand.
The creation of its own agricultural base will provide the country with additional sources of food and localize agricultural production.
The researchers note that there are a number of different crops that are very difficult or impossible to grow in the UAE. These are, for example, rice and wheat. They need a lot of water and moisture to get a good harvest. The soil will allow natural resources to be controlled and used in accordance with crop growing technologies, as well as better retain moisture compared to the soils that are in the UAE.
