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. ... >>

A device that mimics the brain 09.12.2018

Emulation of the human brain is one of the cornerstones of the development of artificial intelligence. The new study by scientists from the Department of Applied Science and Technology of the Polytechnic University of Turin is a step forward in this direction. Experts have created a new device of minimal size to artificially reproduce the connection between neurons.

Brain emulation is the process of full-scale simulation of the main organ of the central nervous system, in other words, "uploading the mind into a computer." One of the greatest challenges scientists have ever faced is trying to artificially replicate signal processing in the human brain.

Typically, neural networks can only be modeled in a very cumbersome and inefficient way using sophisticated hardware. The work of Italian scientists has shown how it is possible to artificially simulate the activity of synapses (that is, contacts between neurons that regulate learning processes in our brain) in a single nanowire, more than a thousand times thinner than a human hair.

An expert-designed nanowire made from zinc oxide crystals takes the memristor (an electronic device capable of artificially reproducing the functions of biological synapses) to a new level of performance. Thanks to the use of nanotechnology, which allows you to control matter at the atomic level, for the first time it became possible to combine in one device synaptic functions that were previously reproduced only individually through separate devices. The nanowire makes it possible to significantly minimize the size of the memristor, reducing the complexity and power consumption of the electronic circuits required to implement learning algorithms.

According to scientists, the new technology paves the way for the development of neuromorphic chips that can mimic the functioning of the human brain, while being small and energy efficient.
