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. ... >>

The roof of the world starts to leak 18.07.2002

Whether human activity is to blame for the fact that global warming is going on is still not exactly clear, but it is clearly coming. Employees of the UN Environment Program report that glaciers have begun to melt in the Himalayas.

Global warming is expressed primarily in the fact that the temperature is rising in cold areas. The Himalayas are now on average one degree warmer than they were 30 years ago.

According to images from space, it was calculated that the glaciers of Bhutan annually retreat by 30-40 meters, Nepalese - by a hundred meters. Therefore, in Nepal and Bhutan, 44 mountain lakes threaten to overflow (the total number of lakes in this region is about four thousand). Then the water with silt will fall into the valleys, sweeping away everything in its path. Tens of thousands of people could die.

UN experts are proposing to gradually release water from the lakes, using it for irrigation or to generate electricity, but such projects will be very expensive.
