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 moon will prevent the global energy crisis 29.06.2002

A research team led by D. Criswell from Houston (USA) proposed the LSP (Lunar Solar Power) system, which will allow collecting energy from solar panels located on the surface of the Moon, and then transmitting it to Earth in the form of a directed energy beam.

According to Criswell's calculations, in 2050 the Earth will be inhabited by 10 billion people. To provide them with energy, it will require at least 20 TW. The Moon receives 13000 TW from the Sun. The transfer of only 1% of this energy to Earth will allow us to completely abandon power plants that pollute the environment on our planet.

It is assumed that the LSP system will consist of 20-40 lunar power stations located on the eastern and western limbs of the Moon. Each will include arrays of solar arrays that collect energy and transmit it via cables to microwave generators that will radiate the energy back to Earth. It will be received by special ground antenna complexes. Each such complex will ensure the conversion of microwave energy into electric current and its transmission to distribution networks.

According to Criswell, LSP is the only chance to power our planet in the XNUMXst century.
