NAGOYA, Japan, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Frescoes, religious paintings from medieval Europe, require several decades to form. Now, researchers have successfully created a fresco in a single day using a novel technique that mimics the formation of sedimentary rocks in the Earth's crust.

Key Points: 
  • Now, researchers have successfully created a fresco in a single day using a novel technique that mimics the formation of sedimentary rocks in the Earth's crust.
  • Frescoes, popular paintings from medieval Europe, are painted on a wet slaked lime plaster wall with natural rock pigments.
  • However, this process takes place over decades, making frescoes a rarely practiced art form.
  • To ensure pigment durability, the researchers subjected the painting to a warm press before the carbon dioxide treatment.

Wednesday, January 25, 2023

Haptic information is quantified in terms of human-touch vibrations measured with a device similar to a Piezoelectric sensor.

Key Points: 
  • Haptic information is quantified in terms of human-touch vibrations measured with a device similar to a Piezoelectric sensor.
  • Haptic sensations and corresponding video images are shared from one person ("presenter") to another person ("target").
  • DOCOMO's vision for its human-augmentation platform includes achieving ubiquitous human bodies, sharing skills, sharing emotions, sharing five senses, and telepathy & telekinesis.
  • In addition to having achieved the ubiquitous human bodies and sharing skills, DOCOMO has now realized sharing five senses.
