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.

Mushkin has unveiled the Ventura Ultra, the world's fastest USB key fob. The device is really very fast - reading data can reach an impressive 380 MB / s, and writing - 325 MB / s. Such speeds, of course, are only achievable when connected to USB 3.0 ports.

At the same time, the key fob for optimal speed performance is equipped with support for the USB Attached SCSI Protocol, which is still rare in USB drives. In addition, the novelty is sold in 60 GB, 120 GB or 240 GB versions - the last two options can be very useful for those who need to always have a large amount of information with them in the format of a USB key fob.
