The king reigns but does not rule

Adolphe Thiers

Phraseologism: The king reigns but does not govern.

Meaning: About an inactive, weak-willed leader.

Origin: From Latin: Rex regnat sed non gubernat. That is how, in Latin, the great hetman Jan Zamoyski (1541-1605) first used this expression in the Polish Sejm. But it became popular after it was repeated by the French historian and statesman Adolphe Thiers (1797-1877), who led the government forces that suppressed the Paris Commune. This expression - Le roi regne et ne gouverne pas - he used in an article that was published on February 19, 1830 in the newspaper "Le National". This is how Thiers saw the role of the king in contemporary France.

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.

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 ... >>
