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. ... >>

Awakening dormant enzymes for artificial photosynthesis 13.01.2020

The ability to recreate the process of photosynthesis in the laboratory is a very tasty morsel for scientists and researchers in the context of modern biological science - if only because it could solve a number of problems associated with the ability to grow something outside of our planet. So researchers from the University of Cambridge have been working on such a project for a long time - and today they presented its first results, which are very promising. And the thing is that they managed to significantly increase the efficiency of natural photosynthesis using a mechanism that had been dormant in plants for a long time.

We are talking about increasing the efficiency of natural photosynthesis of plants through the use of a special photoelectrochemical cell of artificial origin, which is attached to the plant photosystem, which consumes the red and blue spectrum of light. Moreover, this attachment is carried out with the help of a special enzyme called hydrogenase, first found in algae, which have the ability to photosynthesis. This combination makes it possible to significantly increase the efficiency of the latent evolutionary mechanism of natural photosynthesis in plants, while avoiding the use of any kind of catalyst of electrical origin.

For example, early work in one way or another concerned the possibility and necessity of using electricity to enhance photosynthetic properties - however, this approach has a number of very noticeable limitations and does not solve the problem of growing plants outside their natural habitat - that is, outside our home planet.

The results of specialists are very promising in view of the fact that in this way a significant loss of time and the need to use third-party catalysts can be avoided. Many are sure that the technology and method presented by these specialists will become a part of practice in a certain future and may become one of the conditions for the possibility of flying to other planets and colonizing them. After all, the ability to seamlessly grow plants is worth a lot!
