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 VESA VDC-M compression standard 17.05.2018 VESA has introduced Display Compression-M (VDC-M) - a new compression standard for interfaces for connecting built-in displays of mobile devices, including smartphones. Developed in collaboration with MIPI, it provides higher compression (up to 5:1) than the VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) standard, which provides compression up to 3:1. At the same time, "no visible loss of quality" is maintained. The payoff for increasing the compression ratio is the complication of the scheme. VDC-M is the third in a family that also includes DSC 1.1 introduced in 2014 and DSC 1.2 published in 2017. The need for a new codec is caused by an increase in the resolution of displays. The association hopes that VDC-M will find the same wide application as its predecessors. MIPI is already planning to include VDC-M in a future specification for mobile displays.
