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 ... >>

A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person.

Random news from the Archive Silence in the operating room 10.02.2012 Observations made at the University Hospital of Bern (Switzerland) prove that there must be silence during the operation. Surgeon Guido Beldi reviewed data from 35 patients undergoing the same abdominal surgery and compared it with the noise level during the operation recorded by the instruments. Six patients had complications due to the introduced infection. These operations differed only in that during their course the average noise level was 43,6 decibels instead of 25. Beldi suggests that the extra noise, mainly associated with the conversations of the staff, prevented the participants in the operation from concentrating and therefore the strict antiseptic requirements were violated.
