Not from a good life

Gorbunov I.F.

Phraseologism: Not from a good life.

Meaning: About actions performed in need, by the will of circumstances.

Origin: The primary source is the sketch "The Ballooner", written by the actor and oral story, the author of many "folk scenes" Ivan Fedorovich Gorbunov (1831-1895). A crowd of people has gathered around the balloon, who are vividly discussing exactly how the balloon will fly and why a certain tailor, flying together with the German owner of the balloon, agreed to this risky flight: "The tailor hired to fly ... Merchants hired ... - Tailor!" - Drunk - No, through it, as it should. - Why is he flying? - A person is confused, well, he flies.

Random phraseology:

Don't sleep, don't sleep, artist, don't indulge in sleep.

Meaning:

It is jokingly-ironically quoted as a way to cheer up, to encourage action.

Origin:

From the poem "Night" (1956) by the poet Boris Leonidovich Pasternak (1890-1960): "Do not sleep, do not sleep, artist, // Do not indulge in sleep, // You are a hostage of eternity // Captured by time."

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. ... >>

Artificial photosynthesis for fuel 07.12.2014

Toshiba Corporation announced the development of highly efficient artificial photosynthesis - a technology for producing carbon compounds from carbon dioxide and water with the participation of solar energy. The technology was presented to the public at the International Conference on Artificial Photosynthesis ICARP2014 in Japan.

Similar technologies are widely used in the vegetable kingdom for the production of organic substances (usually sugars) from the same components. In the case of Toshiba, it is expected that artificial photosynthesis will be able to produce both fuel and raw materials for the chemical industry.

According to the corporation, the presented technology of artificial photosynthesis shows an efficiency of converting sunlight energy into carbon fuel equal to 1,5%, which, according to Toshiba, is the best indicator among similar developments today (for obtaining compounds that can be used as chemical raw material or fuel).

Other attempts to implement artificial photosynthesis are usually based on the use of the ultraviolet part of the sunlight spectrum and are characterized by a low level of efficiency, not suitable for practical use.

In Toshiba's development, the result of the photosynthetic reaction of water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is carbon monoxide (CO), a component for producing the so-called "synthesis gas", (a mixture of CO and H2). By enriching synthesis gas with hydrogen, methanol (methyl alcohol) can be obtained.

Methanol production itself is not new. This substance is widely used as a raw material in the modern chemical industry (in particular, for the production of formaldehyde resins and plastics). In addition, there are methanol-fuelled internal combustion engines and fuel cells for automobiles and electronics.

The technology proposed by the Japanese is designed to exclude one expensive and energy-consuming link from the methanol production chain - CO production, which directly uses natural gas (methane). Theoretically, Toshiba believes, its photosynthesis will help solve the problems of both the growing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the possible depletion of fossil fuels.

Toshiba's chemical reactor uses a gold catalytic lattice with nanosized cells to convert water and carbon dioxide into methanol. As the company notes in its message, the goal of its further research will be to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis by increasing the activity of the catalyst. The company hopes to secure practical implementation of its technology in the 2020s.
