About valor, about deeds, about glory

Blok A.A.

Phraseologism: About valor, about exploits, about glory.

Meaning: It is usually used jokingly about the topic of the upcoming conversation.

Origin: From the poem named after this line (1908) by Alexander Alexandrovich Blok (1880-1921): "About valor, about exploits, about glory, // I forgot on the sorrowful earth, // When your face in a simple frame // Before me shone on table."

Random phraseology:

What will Marya Aleksevna say?

Meaning:

The phrase is a symbol of sanctimonious, philistine dependence on the opinions of others (ironic).

Origin:

The original source is the comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824) by L. S. Griboyedov (1795-1829). Famusov's words are the final phrase of the play (act. 4, yavl. 15): "Oh, my God! What will Princess Marya Aleksevna say?" Literary critics note a parallel with one of the plays by the English playwright T. Morton (1769-1838). In his comedy (1798) "Speed the plough" (literally "Push the plow") one of the characters asks: "What will Mrs. Grundy say?" That is, "What will Mrs. Grandy say?"

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 system 28.03.2020

Photosynthesis is a sunlight-induced chemical reaction that green plants and algae use to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into cellular fuel. Scientists around the world are looking to use it to create fuels that can power our homes and vehicles. The team of Heinz Frei at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has managed to create a technology that comes very close to solving this problem.

The new artificial photosynthesis system includes a "solar fuel stove" that contains billions of nanosized tubes sandwiched between caps made of thin, slightly flexible silicate, with tube holes pierced through the caps. Each tiny (about 0,5 micrometer wide) hollow tube inside the tile is made up of three layers: an inner layer of cobalt oxide, a middle layer of silicon dioxide, and an outer layer of titanium dioxide. In the inner layer of the tube, sunlight energy delivered to cobalt oxide breaks down water molecules (in the form of moist air that passes through the interior of each tube) to form free protons and oxygen. Protons easily flow through the outer layer and combine with carbon dioxide, resulting in the formation of fuel - carbon monoxide.

Fuel is collected in the space between the tubes and can be easily drained into a separate container. In this case, the middle layer of the pipe wall retains oxygen formed as a result of the oxidation of water in the inside of the pipe, and blocks the penetration of carbon dioxide and the resulting fuel molecules from the outside to the inside, thereby separating two very incompatible chemical reaction zones.

The design of the system mimics real living photosynthetic cells that share oxidation and reduction reactions with organic membrane compartments within the chloroplast.

Currently, using the new system, scientists receive fuel in the form of carbon monoxide and are working on obtaining methanol.
