Where the rock of events takes us

Yesenin S.A.

Phraseologism: Where the fate of events bears us.

Meaning: About incomprehensible, disturbing events in both socio-political and private life (jokingly-iron.).

Origin: From the poem "Letter to a Woman" (1924) by Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin (1895-1925): "You didn't know, // That I'm in solid smoke, // In a life torn apart by a storm // That's why I suffer that I don't understand - / / Where the fate of events takes us."

Random phraseology:

Widow's mite.

Meaning:

The sacrifice is quantitatively small, but large in its spiritual (internal) value.

Origin:

The expression originated from the Bible: in the story of donations to the treasury of the Jerusalem temple, the generous contributions of the rich, who donated from the excess, are contrasted with the modest offering of the poor widow, who donated everything she had - two mites (Mark 12:41-44).

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. ... >>

Innovative battery will last for decades 12.05.2014

Scientists from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) at the US Department of Energy were able to increase by 26% the capacity of a battery consisting of three main elements - anode, cathode and electrolyte. When used in electrical appliances with low energy consumption, such a battery can last 30-50 years.

The created battery belongs to the type "lithium carbon monofluoride" (Lithium Carbon Monofluoride, Li/CFx). Such batteries are often used in the military and aerospace industries, pacemakers and various electronics.

A team of researchers led by Chengdu Liang believes that the new invention will significantly extend the battery life of various low-power sensors. Scientists say that such devices can work autonomously for decades.

In practice, this means that it will be possible to implant, for example, a pacemaker for 30-50 years. To date, such devices serve for 10 years, after which the patient has to undergo another operation in order to replace the pacemaker with a dead battery.

The idea of development is to use the principle of electrolyte dual purpose. For many years it was believed that the role of electrolyte in a battery is only one - the transfer of ions from electrode to electrode. However, researchers from ORNL were able to prove that the electrolyte may have another function - working in tandem with the cathode in order to provide improved battery properties.

According to Chengdu Liang, thanks to the emergence of a dual-purpose electrolyte, today it is possible to design batteries with electrical density that was previously inaccessible.

The scientists used a solid electrolyte of lithium thiophosphate as the ion transport medium. "As the battery we developed develops, a lithium fluoride salt is produced. Thanks to it, the electrochemical activity of the electrolyte increases. The electrolyte connected to the cathode turns from an inactive capacitive battery cell into an active one," explains Chendu Liang.
