Why do male chimpanzees prefer older females to younger ones?

Observations of chimpanzees in the national park of Uganda have shown that males of these primates prefer to mate with old females, and only the weakest males pay attention to young ones.

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 ... >>

Translator for the language of touch 08.12.2004

The German company "ABTIM" has developed in cooperation with the University of Wuppertal a portable device that allows the blind to read.

It consists of a miniature television camera, which is placed on a book, magazine or cell phone screen, and a computer unit. In this block, the image of letters, symbols or pictures is converted into signals that push 4 pegs out of the 4x256 cm panel, exactly repeating the outlines of the image received from the camera. Feeling the panel with his hand, the blind can read letters and symbols or "look" at pictures.

While the device is quite large (the size of a solid book) and expensive. But engineers are working to improve it. In particular, the next version, instead of showing enlarged outlines of letters, will translate letters into Braille characters.
