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.

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. ... >>

Microbes stop water from blooming 22.02.2023

Excessive growth of algae is harmful to aquatic ecosystems. However, it can stop as suddenly as it started. Bacteria, which previously coexisted peacefully with plankton, begin to attack it and quickly destroy it. Scientists were able to identify the substance that triggers such an attack. Perhaps it can be used to control the flowering of reservoirs.

Single-celled algae Emiliania huxleyi live in a close community with a variety of bacteria. Usually, their relationship can be called friendly: photosynthetic algae share some of the nutrients with microbes, and at the same time supply compounds that are useful to them. For example, rhodobacteria provide vitamin B, which planktonic algae are unable to produce on their own. But in adverse circumstances, microbes easily betray their partners: as soon as there is not enough food, rhodobacteria destroy E. huxleyi.

Such fragile relationships are not uncommon in nature, they also exist in our intestines. And for aquatic ecosystems, the transition of bacteria from peace to war may even be beneficial, as it can put an end to excessive blooming of water bodies due to overgrown algae. However, when exactly and why microbes change their "mood" is still unknown. A new study by scientists from the Israeli Weizmann Institute is devoted to this issue.

During long experiments, Assaf Vardi and his colleagues exposed Sulfitobacter D7 rhodobacteria to various substances that release E. huxleyi in various circumstances - both in normal growth and in a depressed state. Microbiologists tracked the activity of different genes in response to a particular compound. The work showed that dimethyl sulfone propionate (DMSP), which algae secrete more and more as they age, pushes the bacteria into a warlike mood.

With the accumulation of DMSP, the DNA activity of microbes changed and they switched to feeding on algae. But the presence of benzoates in the environment, on the contrary, “calmed down” the microbes; bacteria can consume this substance directly. It is the balance of these compounds that apparently regulates the processes of flowering in water bodies. It is possible that in the future DMSP will help to combat this phenomenon, which causes serious damage to local ecosystems. Recall, according to one of the hypotheses, the extensive Permian extinction could be associated with the anomalous algal bloom.
