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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Bamboo will increase the strength of composite materials 27.03.2022

Scientists at the University of British Columbia have come up with a way to increase the strength of biocomposite materials using plastination.

Canadian researchers have shown that adding 10% plastic bamboo to a fiberglass composite improves its ability to absorb impact energy. At the same time, the elastic properties of the material are preserved.

"Bamboo is almost as strong as steel, but more flexible," says Abbas Milani, one of the co-authors of the study. "Due to its lightness, price and availability, this material has great potential for industry. Until then, it had only one big drawback."

Biocomposite materials actively absorb moisture, which leads to rapid destruction. Scientists used plastination, traditionally used to preserve animal and human remains. This method preserves perishable biological samples. As a result of the treatment, water and fat in the tissues are replaced by a polymer.

"The laminated bamboo composite has been blended with glass and polymer fibers to create a material that is lighter and stronger than its counterparts," says researcher Daanvir Dhir. "Our work is unique. No one has previously explored the possibility of using laminated natural fibers in biocomposites."

Scientists will continue to work on optimizing the created material. According to Dhir, plastination now takes a long time, but the process can be improved.

The discovery of the correct composition of plated fibers will lead to a significant reduction in non-degradable waste in many industries.
