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. ... >>

Hydrogen fuel from sea water 30.03.2019

Hydrogen fuel is becoming increasingly important in today's world. So scientists at Stanford University and Peking University have figured out how to turn seawater into hydrogen fuel using a chemical reaction from a high school course.

So, according to the researchers, if you run an electric current through water, it splits into oxygen and hydrogen - the latter can be used as a reliable source of fuel with zero emissions.

Experts have developed a new metal coating for the electrodes used in the experiment, which would allow them to withstand the chemical reaction that occurs in salt water. Since an electric charge is needed to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen, scientists tried to make their device as environmentally friendly as possible by installing solar panels on it.

Chemist Hongjie Dai said the system could be installed on submarines or diving gear.

Hydrogen fuel cells can power a submarine or diver's equipment, while oxygen produced by a chemical reaction can be supplied to a person, replenishing his reserves so that he can breathe. At the same time, experts note that any practical application is not possible soon, since the study only demonstrates that such a technology, in principle, can work.

Until now, the processes have been based on purified fresh water, which is quite expensive. Producing hydrogen fuel from fresh water sources could create problems for those who have a life-saving need for the liquid, scientists say. This is especially true as climate change could soon exacerbate drought around the world.
