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 ... >>

Three-button keyboard 05.10.2021

Programming Q&A platform Stack Overflow has teamed up with Drop to introduce a small keyboard called The Key. The device has only three buttons and is programmed to do just two things: copy and paste.

The product started as an April Fool's joke. On April Fool's Day this year, Stack Overflow users were shown a warning that they have a limited number of copy and paste operations, and in order to remove this limitation, you need to buy a special The Key keyboard. When it turned out that this was a joke, many users were disappointed that The Key could not actually be bought. Now you can actually buy it.

The keyboard consists of three buttons: C, V and the third, with the Stack Overflow logo. These three keys are programmable and can be assigned to any task. The body of the novelty is made of aluminum on a CNC machine. There is a USB-C connector on the back, and rubber non-slip feet on the bottom.

The Key is available to pre-order now on Drop for $29. The novelty will go on free sale on December 13.
