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 ... >>

Milk clothes 05.01.2001

If natural fibers such as silk and wool are made of protein, can not artificial fibers be made from other proteins, such as milk proteins?

The idea arose half a century ago, but the milk fiber produced then smelled of well-aged cheese, which excluded its use in clothing. Now in France and Italy a method has been developed for obtaining tissues from milk that are completely odorless.

These fabrics are lighter than silk and tend to wrinkle less. True, milk clothes will be very expensive: to get a gram of fiber, you need to process two liters of milk.
