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. ... >>

Fundamentally new computer architecture 22.11.2013

Micron Technology has released a high-profile announcement declaring the development of "a fundamentally new computer architecture capable of performing high-speed, complex searches and analysis of complex, unstructured data streams."

The architecture is embodied in the accelerator Micron Automata Processor (AP), which is characterized by internal memory parallelism. This development is designed to radically improve the ability of computers in bioinformatics, image and video analysis, network security and other areas that are difficult for traditional processor architectures due to the need to process large amounts of complex, unstructured data.

Automata is built on the use of natural parallelism, previously unattainable by means of traditional architectures. Unlike ordinary CPUs, AP is a computing structure formed by tens, hundreds of thousands and even millions of processor elements interconnected into a specialized processor mechanism that is adaptable to solve specific problems and is capable of solving them with unsurpassed performance.

According to the manufacturer, the Automata Processor technology will make it possible to approach tasks that require extremely large computing resources, including genome analysis, from a new perspective.

Now Micron is trying to interest "ecosystem partners and research institutions" in its development. Tools for software developers to build, debug, test, and deploy AP applications should be available in 2014.
