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. ... >>

Polyethylene liquid fuel 04.02.2022

Polyethylene is the most common plastic in the world. More than 100 tons are produced every year. The problem is that it is an incredibly inert material that does not react with almost anything, and therefore does not decompose under natural conditions.

Zheng Huan, a chemist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was able to decompose polyethylene at 150 degrees Celsius by adding an organometallic catalyst, a small, commercially available organic molecule containing iridium. The catalyst weakens the bonds responsible for the strong structure of polyethylene, accelerating its decomposition and turning it into a liquid product.

"The resulting products are much cleaner than conventional incineration products," Huang says, adding that the reaction is easier to control and the liquid can be used as a fuel.

So far, the process has been demonstrated on small samples of plastic bags, bottles, and food packaging.

Now scientists are facing two problems: firstly, to increase production and try to bring a new method to an industrial level, and, secondly, to replace iridium - a rare and precious platinum metal - with something cheaper, although there may be a problem, since metal Catalysts, due to their specificity, cannot simply be replaced. But Chinese chemists remain optimistic and assure that they will soon be able to produce new material in liters and even tons.
