Origin:

From the poem "The Only Days" (1959) by Boris Leonidovich Pasternak (1890-1960), who writes about the days of the solstice, when "winter comes to the middle": And on the trees above // The starlings sweat from the heat. // And the half-asleep hands are too lazy // Tossing and turning on the dial, // And the day lasts longer than a century, // And the embrace does not end. The expression became popular after the publication of the novel by the Soviet Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aitmatov (b. 1928) "A snowy stop, or And the day lasts longer than a century ..." (1980), in the title of which this line of Pasternak was quoted.

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.
