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 ... >>

The world's most powerful X-ray laser 21.09.2023

The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II), the most powerful X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) in the world, has been successfully launched at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Energy.

This latest X-ray laser, updated from the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), promises unprecedented capabilities that could usher in a new era in X-ray research.

Experts believe that LCLS-II, with its potential to probe the internal structure and properties of materials at the atomic and molecular level, could lead to revolutionary discoveries in the development of materials with unique characteristics. These discoveries will, in turn, have an impact on a variety of industries, from electronics to energy storage to aerospace.

LCLS-II will produce X-rays that are more than 10 times brighter than SLAC's existing X-ray free electron laser, LCLS.

The rate at which X-ray flashes are generated will also increase from 120 flashes per second to one million flashes per second.
