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. ... >>

Highway with luminous markings 16.04.2014

Design firm Studio Roosegaarde has piloted the smart roads of the future in the Netherlands to improve traffic safety and make it easier to drive in poor visibility and adverse weather conditions.

The idea is to replace standard road markings with intelligent ones. We are talking about the use of a special paint with photoluminescent particles. In the daytime, such markings will be able to accumulate energy, and in the dark - to emit light.

So far, "smart" markings have been applied to a 500-meter section of the N329 highway near the city of Ossa (the Dutch province of North Brabant). Eyewitnesses say that driving on such a road evokes the feeling of a fairy tale.

It should be noted that Studio Roosegaarde does not intend to limit itself to only glowing markings. The company's future plans include the creation of "smart" road warning signs that will appear strictly under certain conditions. For example, when the temperature drops to a certain point, snowflakes may appear on the roadway, informing about possible ice.

Studio Roosegaarde also proposes to install "smart" lighting systems on the slopes. Finally, in the future, special lanes for electric vehicles with integrated wireless battery charging modules may appear.
