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. ... >>

France to get rid of coal-fired power plants 24.01.2018

In modern conditions, coal-fired power plants are too expensive to build and maintain, so much so that it is easier to demolish the existing plant and build something new there than to continue its operation.

At the International Economic Forum in Switzerland, President Emmanuel Macron announced that by 2021 France will completely get rid of coal-fired power plants. Thus, he decided to approach this problem more decisively than his predecessor François Hollande, who set the same goal, but by 2023.

Such a promise may seem rather ambitious, but France has already made significant progress on this issue. Now the country receives most of its energy from nuclear reactors and hydroelectric power plants.

Thus, now the question of the complete elimination of coal-fired power plants is the dismantling of the Cordemai power plant. It produces 2600 megawatts of electricity and is the only coal-fired plant of significant size in the country. So 2021 is not as incredible a time frame as it might seem.
