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. ... >>

Eco-friendly steam generator for desalination and water treatment 21.04.2020

In 2040, it is estimated that a quarter of the world's children will live in regions where clean and drinkable water is scarce. Seawater desalination and wastewater treatment are two possible ways to mitigate this, and researchers at the University of Linköping have developed a cheap and environmentally friendly steam generator to desalinate and purify water using sunlight.

The steam generator consists of an airgel that contains a cellulose-based structure decorated with PEDOT:PSS organic conjugated polymer. The polymer has the ability to absorb the energy of sunlight in the infrared part of the spectrum, where most of the solar heat is transferred. Airgel has a porous nanostructure, which means that a large amount of water can be absorbed into its pores. A 2mm layer of this material can absorb 99% of the energy in the sun's spectrum.

A porous and insulating floating foam is also placed between the water and the airgel so that the steam generator is kept afloat. The heat from the sun evaporates the water, leaving the salt and other materials behind.

The airgel is durable and can be cleaned, for example, in salt water, so that it can be used again. This may be repeated many times. The water that passes through the system by evaporation becomes very high quality drinking water.
