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 ... >>

Eternal data storage 10 TB 18.01.2024

Cerabyte, a startup from Germany, introduced a revolutionary device for reliable and long-term storage of information. This device, which is a square sheet of glass coated with a layer of nanoceramics, promises an almost unlimited service life.

Cerabyte is ushering in a new era in data storage with a unique technology solution that provides outstanding resistance to extreme conditions.

The data recording process is carried out using a cartridge that is engraved with QR code-like patterns using femtosecond laser pulses. These pulses create holes or gaps in the ceramic layer, creating a binary code (0 and 1).

Each line of characters is recorded as it moves forward, and then read and checked by the microscope camera as it moves backward. The entire data acquisition process is similar except for the use of a microscope camera to read the contents.

Cerabyte claims that data stored in this way is resistant to temperature extremes from minus 273 to plus 300 degrees Celsius, as well as to aggressive environments, radiation and electromagnetic influences. Overall, the device is designed to retain data even in the event of a nuclear explosion.
