It is difficult for you to go against the pricks. He said in trembling and horror: Lord! What will you command me to do?". Saul was told to go into the city.

The Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the path you were walking, sent me so that you could receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. fell away from his eyes, and suddenly he received his sight, and rising up, he was baptized..." (9:17-18). "And immediately he began to preach in the synagogues about Jesus, that he is the son of God. And all who heard were amazed and said: Is this not the same one who persecuted those who call on this name in Jerusalem? .." (9:20-21).

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.

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.
