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 ... >>

| Random news from the Archive Smartphone case with built-in cooling
02.04.2022
The Chinese company Oppo introduced a special Ice-Skin cooling case that cools the Find X5 Pro smartphone by 2-3 degrees.
The body of the case received a special hydrogel layer developed by Wuhan University. It is noted that conventional hydrogels draw moisture from the air, and then release it by evaporation. To ensure long-term cooling, the case uses a modified Glacier Mat hydrogel that constantly absorbs moisture from the air, thereby cooling the smartphone.
The company claims that the accessory will not greatly increase the weight and thickness of the Find X5 Pro smartphone compared to a regular protective case. Some users in China who pre-ordered the Oppo flagship will reportedly get a new case with it.
