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 ... >>

American neurologist Henry Mahnke, having recruited a group of 95 people with an average age of 80, asked them to spend one hour every day for eight weeks on a simple computer game. Another similar group used a computer for the same amount of time to listen to lectures on various topics over the Internet.
During the experiment, those who played improved the result of standard tests for memory and attention by an average of 5 points, while those who looked at the lecturers improved only by two points. In general, in terms of memory capabilities and level of attention, the group of players seemed to be 5 years younger.
