Robotics breakthrough: Scientists make artificial skin

Artificial skin, a groundbreaking innovation in the field of robotics and biomedical engineering, has recently witnessed remarkable advancements, propelling the development of highly sensitive and responsive materials that mimic the properties of human skin. Scientists and researchers globally have been pioneering efforts to create artificial skin with the aim of enhancing the capabilities of prosthetic limbs, robots, and medical devices, while also exploring applications in fields such as healthcare, robotics, and human-computer interfaces. Mimicking Human Skin: Artificial skin aims to replicate the intricate features and functions of human skin, which is a complex organ capable of sensing various stimuli, such as temperature, pressure, and touch. Creating a synthetic substitute that can effectively emulate these sensory abilities has been a significant challenge. Material Development: Researchers have been experimenting with a range of materials and technologies to develop ar...

The Best Powerlines Of The Moment

Powerline Ethernet adapters are one of the home networking technologies of the moment: simple to configure and inexpensive, they are the best way to reach all the points in the house where the wi-fi signal does not arrive or where the signal is weak.

Current technology allows various levels of performance (however influenced by the conditions of the electrical network ): the simplest models allow to reach a theoretical speed of 600Mbps and are called Powerline AV600 , the most recent models allow to exceed the gigabit as a theoretical value and are called Powerline AV2-1200 .  healthnutritionhints

For the most common needs the Powerline AV600 are more than enough: to surf the Internet, to share the ADSL network between more than one PC or laptop, but they are also suitable for light streaming video, such as a Youtube, Vimeo or to listen to music from the Internet.

The Powerline AV2-1200 standard is designed instead for the heaviest network needs: to transfer large files over the network, to stream video in 4K or FullHD such as Netflix, to play a large video from a NAS and in high quality.

The cost difference between the two types of Powerline is significant: therefore choose the right model carefully, reflecting well on your needs.

How to choose a Powerline Kit

Remember that:

• models conforming to different standards may not communicate with each other

• on the same electrical network it is preferable to use models from the same manufacturer (and preferably even a single model of Homeplug)

• the actual transfer rates on the electrical network are influenced by many factors: first try to buy only a kit to check if your electrical system is suitable for this kind of use

• it is not possible to share the internet signal between electrical systems that are not connected to each other: everything must take place for all the rooms and premises connected to a single meter

The best models reviewed  

 AVM FRITZ! Powerline 540E WLAN € 69.90 AV2-500 Stable and efficient, like other AVM products it is not the cheapest choice but it is a powerline here.

TP-Link TL-PA4010 € 32.99 AV-500 Another very successful product from TP-Link. This kit provides some of the fastest speeds achievable with the AV 500 standard and is simple to set up.
