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 ... >>

double decker river 15.11.2011

Under the Amazon, at a depth of four kilometers, another river flows. This conclusion was made by a group of Brazilian geologists after studying 241 abandoned wells drilled in the Amazon in search of oil in the 70s and 80s of the last century.

The river was named after the leader of the group - Rio Hamza. The length of the underground river is the same as that of the land, but if the Amazon in different parts of the channel has a width of 1-100 kilometers, the width of the Rio Hamza is from 200 to 400 kilometers.

The Amazon flows quickly - up to five meters per second, the underground river - slower than a millimeter per second. But due to its huge width, its debit is not so small: almost 4000 cubic meters of water flow underground towards the ocean per second.
