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 ... >>

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. 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. ... >>

Flexible and elastic glass 12.03.2014

The US National Laboratory at Los Alamos, known for its central location in the US military nuclear program, has advanced in the development of flexible glass that can be used in mobile devices. The goal of the researchers was to create a "stretchy glass" that would bend when trying to deform or fall.

Scientists conditionally call their development "metallic" glass, since, like metals, it consists of partially structured groups of atoms, in contrast to ordinary (amorphous) glass, in which the atoms of its constituent substances are arranged randomly.

"Usually, plastic deformation leads to immediate glass failure," says Seth Imhoff of the Los Alamos lab. bending under force and then returning to its original shape.

As can be understood from the publication in Product Design And Development, the bending of "metallic" glass occurs on the scale of the so-called "shear bands" 10-20 nanometers in size. The addition of many bends in the nanoscale allows the effect of glass elasticity to appear on the macroscale.

Technology Business Research analyst Ezra Gottheil, commenting on the Los Alamos lab, says stretchable glass could be a big win for mobile device users: "These expensive toys are very vulnerable. Users would be happier if their phones and tablets were more durable. Sellers would have fewer sales but more satisfied customers."

Developers of "metal" glass from Los Alamos, along with other project participants from the universities of Wisconsin, Barcelona and Tohoku in Japan, believe that, in addition to creating flexible gadgets, it could find applications in sports, space technology, etc.
