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 ... >>

Social Network Threads 10.07.2023

Facebook Meta, the parent company of Instagram, is introducing a new service called Threads, which is a direct competitor to Twitter and offers similar functionality.

The chat app, called Threads, is already available for pre-order on the Apple App Store, but it won't be available for download until Thursday.

The description of the service states that Threads is a platform where people can come together and discuss everything from current excitement to upcoming trends.

The published screenshots show that Threads users will be able to post short text messages that, like Twitter, can be liked, commented on and shared with readers.

Twitter, for its part, is facing massive user churn after being acquired by billionaire Elon Musk, who laid off nearly half of the company's workforce and curtailed the rights of free account holders by insisting on signing up for the paid version of Twitter Blue.

The latest step in this direction has been to limit the number of tweets available to view for free accounts. TweetDeck, the popular Twitter control panel, is still available to all users, but Elon Musk promised to make it free within 30 days.

Judging by the screenshots of the new Threads app, the service will be completely free and will have no limits on the number of messages you can view.

Several Twitter-like apps have been launched over the past few years, such as Mastodon and Bluesky, but have failed to replicate its popularity.

Facebook Meta regularly borrows popular ideas from competitors. For example, the feature of disappearing messages after 24 hours (known as "Stories") first appeared on the Snapchat platform. It was subsequently copied by the developers of Instagram and then Facebook, and is the most popular feature in the Facebook Meta apps today.

According to the latest report, in the first quarter of this year, the total daily audience of all three Facebook Meta applications - Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp - was more than 3 billion people.
