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 ... >>

Privateers gathered on the moon 01.01.2010

The company "Google" has announced a competition: a non-governmental organization, the first to be able to throw a lunar rover on the moon, which will pass 500 meters, will receive a prize - $ 30 million. The offer is valid until December 31, 2014.

The private Romanian Association of Cosmonautics and Aeronautics (ARCA) intends to participate in the lunar race. A three-stage rocket has already been created, which starts from a height of 14 kilometers. There it will be lifted by a stratostat with a volume of two million cubic meters. Since at this altitude most of the atmosphere will be left behind, the rocket may not have a strictly aerodynamic shape.

The flight is scheduled for 2011. One group from Russia also participates in the competition.
