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 ... >>

magnet and appetite 04.04.2002

It turns out that the magnetic compass tells the birds not only the direction of flight, but also the place where they are and how much they need to eat.

Swedish nightingales winter in southern Africa. Since on the way they have to overcome 1500 kilometers over the Sahara, before this difficult segment of the route, they stop in northern Egypt and fatten up. The Natural History Museum in Stockholm has built a laboratory setup that simulates the strength and direction of magnetic fields all the way from Sweden to South Africa. In this installation, ornithologists placed young nightingales weighing 20 grams, going to Africa for the first time. The same nightingales were kept outside the magnetic installation.

Both groups were provided with any required amount of food. It turned out that under the influence of the magnetic environment characteristic of the north of Egypt, the experimental birds gained an average of three grams of weight, while the control birds remaining in the Swedish magnetic field gained only one gram.
