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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive grass paper 06.07.2003 The Polish company "Biotek" has patented a method for obtaining pulp for making paper from a herbaceous plant, a relative of mallow, cotton and hibiscus. The American sida grows literally like grass, growing biomass ten times faster than conifers commonly used in paper making. The cellulose content in the stalks of sida is 40 percent, about the same as in pine or birch wood. There is no resin in the plant, there is much less lignin in it than in coniferous wood, it is not necessary to remove the bark from its stems - all this reduces the cost of production. The paper is no less durable than regular paper.
