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 entomology passing through
17.07.2010
A new method for studying insect fauna was applied by a group of American entomologists and geneticists. They drove the car along the North American continent, from Pennsylvania to New Brunswick, and double-sided adhesive tape was previously reinforced on the front bumper.
All insects that crashed on the bumper stuck to the tape. After the run, the residues were scraped off the tape and subjected to DNA analysis. The results were compared with a database of known insect genomes.
In total, more than 400 DNA fragments were collected from 2000 insect species, and only 8% of the sequences matched those in the database. True, many of the DNA fragments stuck to the tape may actually belong to microbes and plant pollen.
