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 ... >>

Solar panels LG NeON R and NeON R Prime 22.02.2021

LG Business Solutions USA announced the release of two new solar panels with increased energy output. These are the company's most powerful and high-performance modules to date.

The new 66-cell LG NeON R and NeON R Prime modules based on Back Contact Technology will be available to builders and homeowners in the US this spring. At the same time, the LG NeON R residential solar panel has an output power of up to 440 W, and the LG NeON R Prime - up to 425 W. As a rule, solar panels provide power output from 250 to 400 watts. Thus, new products from LG are among the most powerful solutions on the market. Both versions have an efficiency of up to 22,1%, while for most solutions available on the market this figure is in the range of 15-20%.

The Back Contact Technology used allows all interconnects to be placed on the underside of the cubicle. This, in turn, allows for increased solar absorption capacity and reduced vulnerability to environmental damage such as micro-cracks, which potentially increase energy wastage. The electrodes have also been moved to the back of the panel.

Both panels are backed by a 25 year limited warranty covering product, performance and labor. They are guaranteed to produce at least 92,5% of the declared output power.
