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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

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. ... >>

Predatory bacteria as a living antibiotic 30.11.2016

Dr. Serge Mostowy of Imperial College London (UK) and his colleagues found that the "predatory" bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus can be used as an effective remedy against Shigella bacteria, which are increasingly developing resistance to antibiotics and causing severe inflammatory diseases.

Shigella bacteria are responsible for more than 160 million cases of illness and more than a million deaths each year. It is the most common cause of so-called "traveler's diarrhea". The spread of drug-resistant strains of bacteria is also on the rise, as antibiotics are often used even in mild cases to stop the disease more quickly, even though diarrhea usually clears up on its own without treatment. Antibiotic resistance has prompted researchers to study the bacterium's natural "enemies".

For the experiment, the researchers used zebrafish fry that had been infected with a deadly titer of Shigella flexner strain M90T, which is resistant to streptomycin and carbenicillin. The scientists then injected Bdellovibrio bacteria into the infected wounds and observed a decrease in the number of Shigella. It is significant that in the absence of a "predatory" bacterium, zebrafish would be unable to control the reproduction of a pathogenic infection.

Scientists have found that the Bdellovibrio bacterium can kill a number of Gram-negative bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella, in the natural environment. Previous research has shown that it can reduce the number of disease-causing bacteria in the stomach of chickens when taken as an oral therapy, but there is a growing need to develop treatments for infections in wounds and organs. The successful use of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus indicates its potential use in the treatment of a number of drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Using bacteria to get rid of other bacteria may seem like an unusual solution, but in light of the looming threat from drug-resistant infections, the potential for beneficial bacterial interactions should not be overlooked. Researchers are increasingly relying on the latest lines of antibiotics, but this groundbreaking research demonstrates how predatory bacteria can be an important addition to existing infection-fighting drugs.
