To sit at the same table with the Philistines.
Meaning:
About ideological, political conciliation, unacceptable compromise (disapproved). V. G. Belinsky in one of his letters: "I am a Jew by nature and cannot sit at the same table with the Philistines."
Origin:
From the Bible. The Philistines are a Canaanite tribe that lived in Palestine and gave it its name. The word "Philistines" in Hebrew sounds like "Pelishtim". This tribe has long been at enmity with their Israeli neighbors, for whom it was almost impossible to sit at the same table with their enemies - this would mean a betrayal of the interests of the people of Israel. |

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 ... >>
