The King is dead, long live the King!
English
Phraseologism: The King is dead, long live the King!
Meaning: 1. Saying goodbye to the old leader and accepting the new one. 2. About some phenomenon (social or political life), which, it would seem, having disappeared forever, immediately resurrects again - in a new form, while maintaining its essence (iron.).
Origin: A traditional French phrase that is said in some countries during the proclamation of a new monarch. With such words in France, from the windows of the royal palace, people were informed about the death of one king and the beginning of the reign of another. There are also phrases translated into other languages - in English ("The King is dead. Long live the King!").
Random phraseology:
When weapons rumble (cannons speak), the Muses are silent.
Meaning:
During the war, art becomes less in demand.
Origin:
This expression is a variant of the Latin proverb "When weapons rattle, the laws are silent." This proverb is known from Cicero's speech in defense of Milo (52 BC). It was not possible to establish when its version arose and who its author was. "They say that the Muses love silence and are afraid of the thunder of weapons: the idea is completely false!" (V. G. Belinsky. Literary dreams, 5.) |

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 ... >>

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Revolutionary water desalination method
22.11.2022
A team led by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has developed ultra-thin polymer-based membranes that remove salt from seawater more efficiently than anything else.
Yu Han, a researcher at KAUST and one of the authors of the technology, explained that existing desalination techniques have many shortcomings. For example, the latest graphene-coated carbon nanotube membranes, which were supposed to be resistant to salt and powerful water flow, still turned out to be impractical due to difficulties in installation and use.
Khan and his colleagues introduced an alternative to the world - membranes coated with triethynylbenzene monomer. This made it possible to form a surface with sub-nanometer-sized cells that let water through and retain salt.
The membranes have already shown excellent performance in direct and reverse osmosis.
The team is currently working on improving the mechanical strength and chemical resistance of the membrane. After that, the device will be put into mass production.
"Our ultimate goal is to provide a versatile, robust and feature-rich platform capable of performing multiple tasks such as ion sieving and single molecule detection," Khan says.
