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 ... >>

| Random news from the Archive And in the ice age there were warming
13.08.2000
As geologists have shown, having studied sediments at the bottom of lakes in New England (USA), periodic warming of water in the Pacific Ocean occurred during the ice age.
The thickness of the layers deposited annually on the bottom of American lakes varies with temperature. The thicker the layer, the warmer the weather was in the area where the lake is located.
It turned out that during the last ice age, 13 to 500 years ago, the weather was warmer every 17 to 500 years. This is happening now under the influence of the El Niño phenomenon - a warm current that periodically appears in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Ecuador and Peru, the influence of which extends to a significant part of North America.
