He wrote a lot (for example, A. S. Pushkin really liked his epigrams), but of all his poetic heritage, only these words from the poem "Three Blind Men" entered Russian speech: / The universe is ruled by three blind men: // Fortune, Death and Cupid. // Our life is a feast: with a welcoming caress // Fortune opens the hall, // Cupid commands the dance, // Death comes, and the ball is over. |

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 ... >>

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Aqua Computer Kryographics Next full coverage water blocks
04.12.2018
Aqua Computer has unveiled the new Kryographics Next full-coverage water block series, which currently has models for the GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards in the reference version. It is noted that the novelties are the best Aqua Computer water blocks at the moment.
The base of the novelties is made of copper. Nickel-plated and pure copper versions will be available. According to the manufacturer, the base is milled from a single piece of copper and weighs 1,25 kg. As befits a full-coverage water block, Kryographics Next contacts not only the GPU, but also the power elements of the power circuits and memory chips.
The top of the Kryographics Next water blocks is made of clear acrylic and decorated with a decorative metal plate. Of course, not without customizable RGB lighting. The water block has 15 pixel (addressable) LEDs. You can control the backlight either using the Aqua Computers QUADRO controller or using the ASUS Aura Sync utility, of course, only when connected to an ASUS motherboard.
The manufacturer also offers reinforcing plates for the back of the video card for new water blocks. One of the plates will be standard, while the other is equipped with an additional copper heat pipe, passing in the area of contact with the elements of the power subsystem, and ending in a terminal for connecting fittings. The presence of a heat pipe should provide better cooling.
The basic version of Aqua Computer Kryographics Next water blocks for GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti video cards is priced at 150 euros by the manufacturer. For the version with a nickel-plated base, you will have to pay 15 euros more. The standard reinforcing plate costs 33 euros, and with a heat pipe it costs 48 euros.
