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. ... >>

Multiple sclerosis depends on the weather 15.08.2021

In multiple sclerosis, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath of neurons. Myelin insulates neuron "wires" from each other and significantly accelerates neural impulses. When myelin is damaged, neurons can no longer conduct impulses as well as before; moreover, sometimes even the neurons themselves begin to die. Symptoms can range from increased fatigue to coordination problems, blurred vision to urinary incontinence.

The exact causes of multiple sclerosis are unclear, and both genetics and environmental factors play a role. Moreover, some environmental factors, apparently, do not so much trigger multiple sclerosis as exacerbate the symptoms when the disease has already begun. So, employees of the University of Miami found that multiple sclerosis increases depending on certain climatic conditions. The researchers analyzed the medical statistics of several hospitals in the United States, comparing the frequency of visits of patients with multiple sclerosis and weather changes: temperature rise, large temperature fluctuations, changes in humidity levels.

It turned out that the symptoms of multiple sclerosis appear more in March and August (that is, patients more often seek help from doctors), while in winter it manifests itself the weakest. Geographically multiple sclerosis is of greatest concern to those who live in the Pacific Northwest and Northeast of the United States, as well as in lands with subtropical climates, and the least often people with multiple sclerosis see doctors in the Midwest. In general, as expected, the symptoms increased when the weather warmed up (the researchers once again confirmed the so-called Uthoff phenomenon - the increase in multiple sclerosis with an increase in body temperature or environmental temperature).

But, in addition, it turned out that his symptoms are aggravated by high humidity, and the disease is most pronounced with strong temperature jumps. That is, they suffer from multiple sclerosis most of all where there is a strong temperature variation, and in those months when it does not just get warmer, but warms up sharply and also sharply colder. While there is currently no cure for multiple sclerosis, we have drugs to help keep it under control. Obviously, such drugs should be at the disposal of doctors in the first place, where climatic conditions favor the manifestation of multiple sclerosis.
