Gut

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: The gut is thin.

Meaning: Someone has little strength, ability to do something (simple mockery or contempt.).

Origin: The expression is actually Russian: from the notion that when lifting weights, you can tear your guts.

Random phraseology:

War of nerves.

Meaning:

About a protracted conflict, squabble, quarrel, when objective arguments are exhausted or do not work, and everything is decided by the will, the nature of the people participating in the confrontation.

Origin:

In 1914, at the start of the imperialist war, the German Field Marshal Hindenburg (1847-1934), later President of the German Republic, told Neue freie Presse correspondent Paul Goldmann: -Hungary have strong nerves and will endure - and they will endure - then we will win (Paul Goldmann, Gesprache mit Hindenburg, Berlin, S. 22).

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

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. ... >>

Western Digital's HDD capacity doubles 21.03.2013

A new technology for manufacturing hard disk platters doubles the capacity of today's hard drives and solves the problem of further increasing data density. Researchers at Hitachi GST, which was acquired by Western Digital in March 2012, have developed a new method for manufacturing hard drive platters. It allows you to double the capacity of drives and continue to increase capacity over time, according to Technology Review.

The information in a hard disk is stored in a magnetic material on the surface of a rotating platter. During the manufacturing process, this material is applied to the plate in the form of a thin film. Information is recorded by changing the orientation of the magnetic field of individual sections of the material, known as domains. A group of domains with one direction of the magnetic field forms one bit of information.

The technology for storing information in domains was developed in the 50s, since then scientists have repeatedly come up with ways to increase the recording density by reducing the area of areas required to store one bit. However, it is impossible to reduce these areas indefinitely, because the phenomenon of superparamagnetism begins to manifest itself, in which the magnetic field in the areas of the disk surface takes the same direction as in neighboring areas, which leads to the loss of information. At present, producers are approaching the border beyond which further reduction of areas will not be possible.

To solve the problem, HGST scientists placed magnetic dots, 10 nm in diameter, on the magnetic platter of a hard drive using nanoprinting technology, placing them next to each other in a circle. The researchers demonstrated the ability of the magnetic head to write and read data from these points. They were able to fit 1,2 trillion "magnetic islands" onto one square inch of a platter - enough to store about 1 TB on a 2,5-inch platter, twice the density of today's hard drives. And since the diameter of the dots can be reduced, the density can be even higher.

Nanoprinting technology first appeared in the mid-90s. Its essence lies in applying a soft material to the target surface using a hard stamp with a special stencil. The imprint is used to modify the surface by etching or applying an additional layer. The soft material is then removed and the surface takes on the desired pattern.

Hard drives using nanoprinting technology could be commercially available by the end of this decade, scientists say. According to vice president of HGST Research Currie Munce, nanoprinting technology will be able to approach the physical limit in 15-20 years.
