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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy.

The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

16-Gbps Resistive RRAM Chip 20.01.2015

The read speed of 16Gb 27nm RRAM is up to 900MB/s and the write speed is 180MB/s. The read and write access latencies are 2,3 ns and 11,7 ns. These parameters are much better than those of flash memory and are comparable to the speed of SDRAM.

In February last year at the ISSCC 2014 conference, Sony spoke about a project to release 16-Gb RRAM memory (ReRAM, resistive memory or memristor, as HP calls it). Micron was supposed to release the sample, with which Sony entered into a partnership agreement in the summer of 2013, because it itself does not have the capacity for production. Sony kept its promise. At IEDM 2014, she and Micron demonstrated a sample of 16Gb (2GB) RRAM memory. Importantly, the calculated characteristics of the resistive memory turned out to be within 10% of the error.

The read speed of 16Gb 27nm RRAM is up to 900MB/s and the write speed is 180MB/s. The read and write access latencies are 2,3 ns and 11,7 ns. Sony's RRAM memory interface is DDR RDAM, so it can be easily installed in modern devices as a replacement for RAM, but it will be non-volatile.

Sony, along with Micron, plans to start mass production of RRAM memory in 2015. Given the excellent characteristics of the sample, and most importantly its capacity - as much as 2 GB, this is very encouraging. Memory such as NAND flash needs a replacement for a long time, but the vaunted memristor did not exist, and still does not exist.
