Artificial leather for touch emulation

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 puddle drink
02.02.2004
If Ivanushka from a well-known fairy tale had a "Hydropak" package released in the USA in his pocket, he could fearlessly get a tasty and healthy drink from any puddle.
Powder - a mixture of mineral salts, vitamins and glucose - is placed in a bag of a special polymer film based on cellulose with pores of 3-5 angstroms in diameter. Having immersed the bag in a reservoir of any degree of contamination with silt, bacteria and viruses, you have to wait a while - and through the pores, water will be drawn into the bag due to osmosis, dissolving its powder contents.
Since the smallest bacterium is about 2000 angstroms across (an angstrom is one ten-millionth of a millimeter), and the virus is 50 angstroms, no infection will penetrate the film.
According to the firm, up to 95 percent of pesticide molecules, other organic poisons and heavy metal compounds are also retained. After that, a straw is inserted into the neck of the bag, and you can drink a drink that restores strength. The bag holds up to two liters of water.
