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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive Which book is more environmentally friendly
01.07.2011
For the sake of paper books, forests are cut down, and runoff from paper production poisons the environment. But old paper can be recycled and reused.
E-books do not require paper, but the production of electronic components also produces toxic emissions, reading consumes electricity, and disposing of used electronics is also harmful to the environment.
The public environmental organization TerraPass (USA) has calculated that if you read more than 23 books in a year, then it is safer to switch to an e-book to save nature. If less, continue to stick to the usual, paper ones.
