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.

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.

| Random news from the Archive magnetic painting

A group of Mexican geophysicists led by Avto Gogichaishvili has found a new method for dating rock art.
Since the red paint with which the Indians of pre-Columbian America painted their frescoes on the walls of caves contains particles of magnetic minerals - hematite and magnetite, these drawings record the direction of the magnetic field at the time when the frescoes were applied to the stone.
Since the record of changes in the magnetic field is also preserved in the surrounding rocks, it is possible to determine from the magnetism of the drawings when they were made. The age of the studied frescoes is from eight hundred to a thousand years.
