Origin:
From the Bible. The Old Testament (Book of Joshua, 6) tells of the siege of the Jews returning from Egyptian captivity to Palestine, the city of Jericho, which stood in their way. They besieged it for six days, and it is not known how long the standing under the walls of this fortress would have lasted, if not for a miracle. On the seventh day, the priests of the Jews began to walk around the walls of the city, blowing trumpets. And from their sound the walls suddenly collapsed. |

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.

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.

Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
