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 American company "Durand Wayland" intends to deprive bananas, oranges, apples and other fruits of the usual colored stickers with the name of the company.
As a result of ten years of research, the company's engineers have created a device the size of a suitcase and weighing 136 kilograms, which engraves any inscriptions and logos on the skin of the fruit with a laser beam. The beam burns out the pigments in a layer of peel several micrometers thick, leaving an inscription.
The area on which the signs are applied does not become more prone to decay than the surrounding areas. In a second, the device labels 17 fruits, which is almost twice as fast as the fastest machine, adhesive labels.
