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 ... >>

Decaffeinated coffee has grown 01.05.2005

Brazilian botanists led by Paulo Mazzafer discovered in Ethiopia a variety of wild coffee tree, the berries of which contain only 0,76 milligrams of caffeine per gram of dry weight, which is 16 times less than in the usual Arabica variety.

The leaves of these plants lack one enzyme that is involved in the production of caffeine. There are also similar trees in Madagascar, but the coffee from them turns out to be tasteless. Demand for decaffeinated coffee now accounts for one-tenth of the world's total coffee demand, and the caffeine is removed from regular varieties with chemical solvents, which alter the taste and aroma of the drink.

It is believed that by crossing wild animals with cultivated plants, it will be possible to develop a variety that has almost no caffeine, but retains all other properties. It may hit the market in five years.
