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 ... >>

A new method for detecting fingerprints, which allows finding these traces on metal heated to 600 degrees Celsius, was proposed by employees of the University of Wales in Swansea (UK).

The slightest amount of sweat contained on the fingers causes micro-corrosion of metal, such as grenades, cartridge or shell casings, or explosive device shells. An electrochemical reaction with sweat as an electrolyte causes persistent changes in the electric potential of metal atoms that last up to several years. The probe of a special scanning electron microscope, which measures the slightest changes in the electrical potential of the metal surface, builds a three-dimensional image of fingerprints.

A new method to identify those who loaded a weapon or prepared an explosive device "works" on surfaces made of steel, iron, zinc, brass and aluminum, including curved surfaces.
