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.

A phone that can ruin your appetite 11.04.2006

Employees of the Center for Technical Research at the University of Kuopio, Finland are developing a system that turns a mobile phone into your personal nutritionist.

With a digital camera now found in most mobile phones, you take a picture of the barcode printed on every package in the grocery store.

The phone sends this snapshot to the central computer, and in a few seconds data on the composition of the product and its energy value appear on the phone's screen. After that, the phone, based on the owner's personal data entered into it in advance (height, weight, age, and so on), shows how much and what physical exercises you need to do in order to burn the calories in the product. And then it's your decision to buy or not.

Field trials have been completed and the system should be operational in Finland in a year and a half.
