How did lunar craters form?

The ring mountains characteristic of the Moon, craters up to 300 km in diameter, probably arose as a result of the bombardment of the lunar surface by large meteorites. Some of the lighter colored craters are younger, only a few hundred million years old.

What insects tend to compensate for love failures with alcohol?

American biologists, studying the mating behavior of male fruit flies, offered them a choice of two feeders - one contained ordinary sugar syrup, the other had the same, but diluted with alcohol. Those males whose courtship was rejected by the females drank from the trough with alcohol much more often. The reason for this was a reduced concentration in their body of a protein called neuropeptide F, which acts on the pleasure center of the insect - not receiving it due to lack of mating, the flies tried to fill the gap with alcohol consumption.

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. ... >>

Artificial muscle based on natural proteins 02.02.2022

Researchers from the University of Freiburg (Germany) have developed an artificial muscle based solely on natural proteins. Muscle contractions can be controlled by changes in the acidity of the environment and temperature.

The material the scientists used is based on elastin, a natural fibrous protein also found in humans that gives elasticity to the skin and blood vessels. Researchers have developed two elastin-like proteins, one of which responds to fluctuations in acidity (pH) and the other to changes in temperature. The scientists combined the two proteins using photochemical cross-linking to form a bilayer material.

So, in response to changes in the pH level in the aquatic environment where the material was placed, or temperature, the artificial muscle was able to contract rhythmically. In the case of temperature changes, the chemical reaction started at about 20 degrees Celsius. In this case, it was possible to program certain muscle states and reset them again with another stimulus.
