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 ... >>

Containers under the cover 07.01.2010

Cargo containers placed on the deck of a container ship create air resistance, to overcome which excess fuel is spent. In calm weather, this is only a few percent of the total fuel consumption, but in a storm, consumption can increase by 60%.

Engineers of the Technical University in Hamburg (Germany), having done experiments with models of container ships in a wind tunnel, offer to cover the deck with a streamlined cover.

True, skeptics remind that they tried to install collapsible fairings on ships about fifteen years ago, but it turned out that too much time and labor goes into their installation and dismantling.
