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 poisonous hamster 03.11.2011 As British zoologists have discovered, the shaggy hamster living in the mountain forests of East Africa smears its fur with poison to protect itself from predators. An animal 25-35 centimeters long chews the bark of a tree containing strophanthin and other alkaloids that act on the heart, and smears the chewing gum over its fur. These poisons do not act on the rodent itself. The poisonous juice, also used by local hunters to poison arrows, is absorbed into the special porous hairs that make up the hamster's fur and stays there for a long time. A predator clinging to shaggy fur will not die from poison, but the sensations will be so unpleasant that it will no longer rush at such rodents.
