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 Motorcycle powered by beer
16.05.2023
Inventor from Minnesota, USA, Kai Mikaelson presented a motorcycle powered by beer, which he created in his garage in Bloomington.
Instead of a gasoline engine, the bike has a 14-gallon barrel with a heating coil that turns the beer into superheated steam that propels the vehicle forward. According to the inventor's estimates, the motorcycle is capable of speeds up to 150 miles (240 km) per hour.
Mikaelson himself explained his choice of fuel by the fact that gasoline prices are rising, and he, as a non-drinker, could not think of a better way than to use beer as fuel.
The bike has yet to be tested on the drag strip to see what it's capable of, but Michaelson's son Buddy said his father plans to convert the bike to all fluids, allowing it to be used not only for fun, but also for more serious purposes.
Michaelson and his son Buddy hope that their new inventive masterpiece will attract the attention of the world community and become the subject of much discussion. However, they already know that this motorcycle will end up in a home museum, where it will attract the attention of everyone who visits this amazing collection of inventions.
In this way, Kai Mikaelson continues to dazzle the world with his unusual and creative ideas, which can be implemented in a wide range of fields. His beer-powered motorcycle is another example of how out-of-the-ordinary thinking and creativity will always find ways to surprise and inspire people around the world.
