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 ... >>

comets carrying water 01.11.2012

Earth's water contains heavy hydrogen deuterium in the amount of one atom per 6400 atoms of ordinary hydrogen. An international group of astrophysicists, after analyzing data from the Herschel Infrared Space Telescope, came to the conclusion that in the tail of comet Hartley 2, which flew past the Earth at the end of 2010, this ratio is 1 : 6200.

Hence the hypothesis: comets brought the first water to our planet.
