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 Snails will eat England
02.12.2002
Biologist Claire Andrews from the University of Sussex (UK) discovered that Patella vulgata snails living on the chalk cliffs of Dover are gradually eating up the coast of England.
Clinging to the rock, they scrape off microscopic algae from it, which they feed on. However, along with the algae, the mollusks also scrape off some soft limestone. Three-year observations of snails have shown that up to 30 percent of coastal erosion can be attributed to these seemingly harmless creatures.
Note that the county of Sussex annually spends millions of pounds to combat coastal erosion.
