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.

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.

Random news from the Archive SONY will build a super-TV on the CELL processor 30.06.2004 Sony has announced plans to use high-performance Cell media processors to make next-generation TVs that will receive signals directly from the Internet. According to Reuters, citing the Japanese business newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun, development of the new television should be completed in 2006. It is assumed that the TV will be able to independently receive digital video directly from the Web, without resorting to the help of a computer. In principle, Cell-TV will actually be a computer with a slightly truncated functionality. Ideally, the TV should work in conjunction with the next generation Sony PlayStation game console, which will also be built on Cell processors and, in parallel with its main task - games - will also perform the functions of a home multimedia server. Thus, the duet being developed by Sony engineers Cell will obviously compete with "home computers" running a "multimedia" version of Windows.
