beat with a forehead

Muscovy

Phraseologism: Beat with a forehead.

Meaning: 1. Ask for something. 2. Greet someone.

Origin: The word "chelo" in old Russian means "forehead". In ancient Russia, the "brow", that is, the forehead, beat on the floor, falling before the nobles and kings in prostration. This was called "bowing the great custom" and expressed the utmost degree of respect. From here came the expression "to beat with a forehead" in the meaning: to apply to the authorities with a request, to intercede. In written requests - "petitions" - they wrote: "And on this your little serf Ivashko hits you with his forehead ..." Still later, the words "hit with his forehead" began to simply mean: "greet."

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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive Scientists have perfected the web 11.08.2009 Employees of the Institute for Physics of Microstructures in Halle (Germany) managed to strengthen one of the most durable natural materials - the web. This protein thread can withstand a greater load than a steel wire of the same diameter. By introducing zinc, aluminum or titanium ions into the web, physicists have achieved an increase in its strength by another 3-4 times. According to the authors of the study, the metals form strong cross-links between the protein strands in the web. Since chemists are now trying to synthesize man-made fibers with cobweb properties, the new invention could be tested on these fibers.
