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 ... >>

The fastest ant 16.10.2019

British scientists have announced that the Saharan silver ant (Cataglyphis bombycina) can cover a distance of almost a meter per second, that is, 100 times its body length.

Ants live in some of the most extreme environments among insects. They live in the Sahara desert, where temperatures can reach 60 degrees Celsius. Most animals try to hide in the hottest time, but not ants. During the period of activity, which reaches a maximum of 10 minutes, they roam the desert sands in search of insects and small animals that have become victims of the heat.

Since the 1980s, scientists have assumed that Saharan silver ants can move at a speed of a meter per second. However, this statement has long been questioned by researchers. Now scientists have measured the speed of movement of insects and found out that in a second they cover a distance of 85,5 centimeters, that is, a little less than a meter.
