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 ... >>

Warm house 10.10.2008

Buildings consume up to 45% of all energy consumed in the world. That's more than all the cars in the world spend combined.

In Germany, a program is being undertaken to strengthen the thermal insulation of old houses. An average European house requires 160-300 kilowatt-hours per square meter of area per year, and a building with modern thermal insulation requires only 15-30 kilowatt-hours.

Heating or air conditioning is switched on only on the coldest or hottest days. True, in new construction in Germany, such houses now account for only two percent.
