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 ... >>

Found a planet where it rains from precious stones 15.12.2016

In the far corner of the universe, a planet has been found where gems literally fall from the sky, according to a study by a group of astrophysicists from the University of Warwick.

So, at a distance of more than one thousand light-years from our planet, scientists discovered a hot gas giant, the clouds above which consist of corundum - the substance underlying sapphires and rubies.

British researchers conducted research using the Kepler orbital observatory, which was able to distinguish between the giant exoplanet HAT-P-7b, which is about 500 times larger than the Earth.

The temperature on the planet reaches several thousand degrees Celsius, which on the day side of the planet leads to the evaporation of corundum. At night, the matter cools and falls as rain. Perhaps even in the form of sapphires and rubies.
