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 ... >>

Superfood that replaces meat 23.05.2020

India has become the world's largest producer of jackfruit, or breadfruit, which is used as a meat alternative. Jackfruit has been a part of the South Asian diet for centuries, and cultivation is increasing every year.

The fruit, which weighs an average of five kilograms, has mature waxy yellow flesh and is eaten fresh or used to make cakes, juices, ice cream and chips.

Green, prickly and with a strong, sweet smell, the bulky jackfruit is used as a meat substitute. This fruit is very fond of vegans and vegetarians. The pulp of a ripened fruit resembles pork in structure when properly prepared.

Green fruits are added to curries or fried, crushed and stewed. Grated jackfruit has become a popular alternative to pulled pork and is even used to make vegan pizza.

The coronavirus has sparked a fear of chicken and people have switched to the tender jackfruit. In India, a shortage of vegetables and restrictions on the supply of poultry meat have caused a sharp increase in demand for mature and green jackfruit and its seeds.
