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 wood 23.05.2020

A new material developed by the University of Science and Technology of China, which is light in weight, as strong as wood, but does not have the standard weak characteristics of wood, does not burn or absorb water.

To create synthetic wood, we took a solution of polymer resin and added a little (a pinch) of chitosan powder, a basic cationic polysaccharide polymer obtained from crab and shrimp shells. They sublimated the solution, resulting in a structure filled with tiny pores and channels, backed by chitosan. They then heated the resin to a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius (to vulcanize the latter), thus creating strong chemical bonds.

Unlike real trees, the new material does not take years to grow. In addition, the new material practically does not absorb water; specimens immersed in water and a strong acid bath remained there for 30 days with little or no loss of quality, while specimens of Balsa wood tested under the same conditions lost two-thirds of their strength and 40 percent of their resistance to turmoil. The new material was practically incombustible and stopped burning as soon as it was removed from the flame.

Imitation wood could be used in the production of reliable resistant containers. And the porosity property of the new synthetic material seems to be important, since it acts as an air trap, which could make such a substance an excellent insulating material suitable for building construction.

Environmentally friendly alternatives to polymer resins could also increase interest in the new material.
