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 ... >>

Harm of Wi-Fi networks 21.04.2018

An experiment was conducted in Denmark on the influence of Wi-Fi connections and mobile devices on living cells of organisms. The studies were carried out by schoolgirls, but as a result, their studies were of keen interest to respected biologists and radiologists in society.

For the study, the girls laid out about 12 watercress seeds in 400 trays. After that, half of the trays were taken to another room. It is noted that the seeds received the same amount of fertilizer, light and moisture. During the study, schoolgirls installed Wi-Fi routers in one of the rooms. The young scientists reported that they had acquired an installation similar to the type of radiation, which exactly coincides with mobile devices.

The girls' research surprised them, teachers, and scientists alike. In just 12 days, clear signs of harm from radio waves have already been observed. During the experiment, it is noted that the seed sprouts, which were located near the router, looked much worse than those located in another part of the house. It should be noted that most of the sprouts where there was Wi-Fi access died.
