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 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.

CRT monitors will disappear faster than expected 27.08.2005

LCD monitors continue to confidently replace CRT devices in the global market, according to new data from analysts. And this is happening even faster than previously thought.

To date, LCD monitors with diagonals of 15, 17 and 19 inches are the most popular, but larger models are gradually gaining popularity. The global PC LCD market grew 1% qoq to 7 million units in the first quarter of this year, in line with analysts' forecasts, according to a new study by DisplaySearch.

Compared to the same period in 2004, the market grew by 44% in quantitative terms. The rise in price of LCD panels is already beginning to affect the retail price of LCD monitors for the consumer market (this segment is currently on the rise). This usually leads to a slowdown in the growth of the LCD market, especially during periods of seasonal decline in demand.

However, DisplaySearch claims that if all planned LCD panel capacities are put into production, retail price increases will not last long, allowing the market to grow until the end of 2005.
