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 ... >>

Apple moves computers to its own processors 24.06.2020

Apple is developing a proprietary system-on-a-chip based on the common ARM architecture with a number of unique features specifically for the Mac. The first computer with the new platform will be presented before the end of the year.

As part of the WWDC 2020 conference, Apple officially announced the transfer of its computers to proprietary processors. CEO Tim Cook called it "a historic moment for the Mac platform." The company is reportedly developing its own system-on-a-chip based on a common ARM architecture with a number of unique features specifically for Mac.

The first computer with the new platform will be presented before the end of the year. The transition of the entire family of "apple" computers to processors of their own design will be carried out within two years. Apple promises that with this solution, Macs will be able to rise to new levels of performance and energy efficiency.

The most important difference between Apple's new ARM processors and Intel's solutions currently used by the company lies in native support for iOS and iPadOS applications, which will make the work of software developers easier and more efficient. Microsoft and other software vendors are already working on adapting their solutions to the new Apple processors.
