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 ... >>

Grasshopper oil 21.10.2015

Eating insects is deeply alien to Europeans. However, five years ago in Holland there were many companies that grow insects for food. They do not offer the consumer crickets or worms, but extract proteins from them, which are used as food additives. The benefit is that insects consume much less food per unit of useful weight and pollute the environment less than the same cows.

What about insect oil? Wageningen University researcher Dr. Daylan Tsomba-Sosa is doing just that. Insect oil is very useful, because it is rich in omega-XNUMX fatty acids, which are not produced in mammals. It is assumed that the oil obtained from it will go into ice cream, pastries or cream.

“Fat extracted from some insects, such as a grasshopper or a shiny lion fly, has a pleasant fruity aroma. But a cockroach smells disgusting, you can’t use its fat for food, but it will be useful for making lubricants. So far, we are working out the technology for obtaining oils and we study their physical and chemical properties. This is the basis for future commercial applications," says the researcher.
