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. ... >>

plant cement 04.01.2020

German scientists, together with colleagues from Nigeria, created cement from plants. For the production of cement, the researchers used the skin of the cassava plant, which is fired under a special temperature regime.

“From the ashes obtained from the burning of plants, we develop a product that is similar in properties to cement. It can be used as a connecting agent instead of classic cement,” says civil engineer Wolfram Schmidt of the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing.

Building materials from rice production waste and other vegetable raw materials have also proven themselves well. This is not only one of the options for recycling organic waste, but also a cost savings, since the use of such materials makes cement production cheaper. In addition, such a building material is more durable and lasts longer.

The first cassava concrete building will be built next year. It will be part of the campus of the University of Lagos (Nigeria).
