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 ... >>

Sunscreen for astronauts 03.08.2020

The development of means for protection against radiation is one of the most priority areas of research in the space industry.

By synthesizing a new form of melanin enriched with selenium, a team of American chemists has developed a biomaterial called selenomelanin that could protect human tissue from ultraviolet radiation.

During laboratory experiments, cells treated with such a "cream" showed normal life processes even after receiving a lethal dose of radiation. Tests have shown that the human body can produce selenomelanin on its own if the cells receive certain nutrients.

Melanin samples are currently on the International Space Station, where a research team is studying the material's response to radiation exposure. Recently, studies have been conducted with pheomelanin containing sulfur, however, according to scientists, the new substance is easier to synthesize.
