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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive crab toothpaste 03.01.2003 Specialists from the University of Portsmouth (UK) have developed a new toothpaste that sticks to the teeth. Microscopic capsules filled with a disinfectant antimicrobial agent - triclosan are mixed into the main substance of the paste. Gradually breaking down, they release triclosan on the tooth enamel, killing the microorganisms that cause caries. In order to keep the effect of brushing your teeth as long as possible, it was important to choose a material for the microcapsules so that they firmly adhere to the teeth. Of the proposed options, chitosan turned out to be the best. This is a derivative of chitin, which is used in the shells of crabs, crayfish, lobsters, shrimp and other crustaceans. Thousands of tons of chitin annually go to waste after processing these seafood. The production of paste with chitosan will start in 2003.
