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 ... >>

Camel Dairy Farm 04.04.2007

A fully automated dairy farm with camels began operating in the fall of 2006 in the Arab principality of Dubai. About 2000 liters of milk are obtained here from 230 camels per day, and milking takes place without human intervention.

In the future, the number of the farm is going to increase to a thousand. Although milk yields from camels are low, their milk contains five times more vitamin C and half as much fat as cow's milk. The long-chain fatty acids present in it reduce blood cholesterol levels.

Camel milk is well digested even by people who are not able to digest cow's milk, and most of them in Asia. The only drawback of camel milk is that it is impossible to get cheese from it. But the problem can be solved by adding some enzymes to the milk. By the way, in India they started making ice cream from camel milk.
