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.

Turning sand into fertile soil 15.11.2022

A Norwegian startup has invented a method by which, after spraying sand with liquid nanoclay, it turns into water-retaining soil.

Every year, 12 million hectares of fertile land are lost due to desertification. The Desert Control solution turns sand into soil for plants in just 7 hours.

Liquid nanoclay was invented in the early 2000s by Norwegian scientist Christian Olesen. It was she who was used by a Norwegian startup. When sprayed, it penetrates the sand, turning it into water-retaining soil where plants can sprout.

"Our vision is to make the earth green again by stopping and reversing desertification and soil degradation. With our unique product, we want to turn degraded land and sand into fertile soil and at the same time reduce water consumption for green ecosystems by up to 50 percent," - note the inventors.

Desert Control plans, first of all, to sell its nanoclay in the UAE, where deserts occupy most of the country's territory, and therefore agriculture is poorly developed there.

The cost of applying the technology varies from $2 to $5 per sq. m.
