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 Titanic is being eaten by bacteria
16.07.2018
In 15-20 years, there will be no trace of the infamous ship.
The voracious micro-organisms that feed on rusty iron at the bottom of the sea are called extremophile bacteria. Extremophiles got their name because of the ability to live and breed in the most difficult conditions. They tolerate high and low temperatures, high and variable salinity, huge pressure, lack of oxygen and lack of light. These are the conditions at the bottom of the Atlantic.
In 1991, rust samples were taken from the sunken ship. A decade later, in 2010, scientists discovered metal eaters on them. After more in-depth research, they came to the conclusion that the legendary Titanic had 15-20 years left before it completely disappeared.
“Due to the fact that the Titanic is at a depth of 3800 meters, it cannot be saved,” Professor Henrietta Mann from Dalhousie University in Halifax (Canada) sadly states. “I only hope that our study will at least contribute to deepening knowledge about bacteria. There are oil platforms in the ocean, steel pipes and other structures that can "melt" just like the Titanic. It would be good to know how to protect them."
