Morpheus
Ancient Greek and Roman mythology
Phraseologism: Morpheus.
Meaning: Sleep.
Origin: From ancient Greek mythology. Morpheus (Roman Phantazus) is the winged god of dreams, who is the son of another ancient Greek deity, Hypnos, the god of sleep. Nevertheless, it was Morpheus who became synonymous with sleep in European culture. Hence - the widespread poetic image of the "embrace of Morpheus." To be in the arms of Morpheus - "to be in a dream, to sleep." Poet O. E. Mandelstam (an epigram-parody of the poet M. L. Lozinsky, known for his translations of ancient authors): "Delia, where have you been? - I was lying in the arms of Morpheus. // Woman, you lied, - in them I rested himself."
Random phraseology:
And I, for songs and for a dream, do not need a million.
Meaning:
Peace of mind is more valuable than money.
Origin:
Quotes from the fable of I.A. Krylov "The Farmer and the Shoemaker". The wealthy Farmer is worried about his neighbor, the Shoemaker, who loves singing. The farmer gives him a "ruble bag". Shoemaker "in the dungeon / Buried the bag - and with it his fun," but then returned the money to the Farmer, restoring his peace of mind. |

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 ... >>
