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 Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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 Huge atmospheric waves are to blame for weather disasters 12.03.2013 In recent years, the planet has been suffering from extreme weather events that occur in a particular region. Such devastating events were the unprecedented flooding in Pakistan in 2010, as well as the heat wave in Russia in 2011 and the United States in 2011. According to scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), these individual events have a common physical cause - the behavior of giant atmospheric waves. As it turned out, technogenic climate changes constantly disrupt the flow of atmospheric flows around the Northern Hemisphere. “Global air movement in the Earth’s mid-latitudes typically takes the form of a wave that travels between tropical and arctic regions,” explains lead author Vladimir Petukhov. “Thus, these waves can pump warm air out of the tropics in Europe, Russia, and the United States, or vice versa.” cold air from the arctic. Scientists have found that during several recent extreme weather events, atmospheric waves practically froze in place for several weeks. Thus, instead of the arrival of cold air, heat is maintained for a long time. In fact, there was an increase in usually weak, changing climatic phenomena. However, time is of the essence: 30-degree Celsius heat for 30 days won't do much damage, but long dry spells have negative consequences for cities and agriculture. It is now clear that climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels does not mean uniform global warming. A decrease in the temperature difference between the Arctic and, for example, Europe leads to changes in the behavior of atmospheric flows - they fall into a kind of trap.
