Research team develops innovative method for measuring the conductivity of smart textiles
The Leibniz Institute in Jena, the Philipps University of Marburg and Brown University in the USA have jointly developed a method for precisely measuring the electrical conductivity of thin layers on smart textiles. This allows coatings to be analysed without contact and material defects to be quickly identified. The results have been published in the…

The immersive collaboration hub by FernUniversity Hagen – the Future of learning an working
The immersive collaboration hub by Disanzlearning University of Hagen should be a place on which the future of learning and working will be an experience. On this place meet-up modern technologies like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Artificial Inteligence (AI). In centrum from ICH (Immersive collaboration Hub), that is actually…

Affordable bioprinting tissue at the touch of a button
Printing a living tissue construct with a 3D printer from the electronics store? Until now, this was impossible. Bioprinting required expensive specialised equipment. Researchers have now succeeded in modifying a simple 3D printer so that it can create biological structures at the touch of a button. This is an opportunity for small laboratories to conduct…

Printing with earth materials
ETH researchers have developed a fast, robot-assisted printing process for earth materials that does not require cement. Zurich, September, 10th 2024.Entire houses can be built from clay or earth. The material is cheap, available almost everywhere and sustainable in construction because it does not require cement. However, conventional construction methods are very labour-intensive, slow and…

Vibrotactile actuators generate and change the perception of movement
Saarbrucken, September, 9th, 2024. The feeling of moving, whether physically experienced in reality or not, is the subject of the work of Paul Strohmeier, who is researching this topic at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. Suitable for prostheses, it also opens up new possibilities for future augmented reality. Paul Strohmeier received the SIGCHI Outstanding…
