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. ... >>

288-Mbit RDRAM 1066 MHz 05.05.2003

The Japanese company Elpida Memory announced the start of deliveries of 288-megabit RDRAM (Rambus) 1066 MHz RAM chips intended for use in workstations, as well as high-performance desktop computers and network devices.

The chips are produced using proprietary 0,13 micron technology in FBGA packages. The new 288 megabit chips will be used in RIMM and SO-RIMM modules from 128 to 512 MB. Chips and RIMM modules developed by Elpida specialists have already been certified by Rambus. In the near future, Elpida plans to start production of Rambus memory chips designed for operating frequencies of 1200 and 1333 MHz.

According to the manufacturer, the new 288 megabit RDRAM chips use Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology, which allows not only to increase the operating frequency to 1066 MHz, but also to achieve increased memory reliability. The chips provide data transfer at a speed of two bytes per 0 94 ns (or 16 bytes per 75 ns) have a built-in write buffer designed to reduce access time, as well as a system to reduce power consumption.
