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 ... >>

Cooling without electricity 28.09.2022

It often happens that in those countries in need of advanced cooling systems, there is no infrastructure to power such installations.

A new development by scientists at MIT can solve this problem. The thing is that they have created a system that combines evaporative cooling, radiative cooling and thermal insulation.

The new development is able to provide cooling up to 10,5 C compared to ambient temperature. Since the system is in the form of a three-layer panel, it can be safely placed over or around the item to be cooled.

The researchers cite the fact that it does not require electricity and that some of the materials used in the system are "easily available and relatively inexpensive" as a plus for their development.
