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 ... >>

Muscles are grown that react to light of a certain wavelength 28.03.2016

Scientists at the University of Illinois have created a modified muscle tissue that is able to contract in response to exposure to light. The researchers managed to achieve not only a short contraction, but also temporary muscle tension.

It was possible to create such tissue thanks to genetics. Mouse muscle tissue cells were taken as a basis with the addition of a gene of a certain type of algae, which causes sensitivity to light. In this case, to a certain wavelength of blue.

The skeleton was 3D printed. The muscles themselves, as you can see, are in the form of rings. This allows you to use such muscles as a kind of modules. Together with the 3D printing of the skeleton, this opens up quite wide opportunities for creating biorobots.
