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.

| Random news from the Archive Information about humanity will be sent into space
31.07.2016
The Voices of Humanity project is a new attempt to create a back-up repository of information about humanity. Scientists from the University of California are planning to use lasers to send plates into deep space containing messages from individuals, the DNA of some of the project's participants, and the sum of our knowledge of the world.
Scientists call this project the "backup of mankind", for which the universe acts as a cloud data storage.
Funding for the project is being raised through Kickstarter. Each person who has invested their funds gets the opportunity to send their personal message and DNA into space.
Small spacecraft carrying the message are expected to fly into space using directed energy, a laser technology that developers believe will make the first interstellar flights possible.
Some Voices of Humanity scientists are also taking part in the Breakthrough Starshot project, an initiative by Stephen Hawking and Russian businessman Yuri Milner that plans to bring a microchip to Alpha Centauri in the next 20 years.
