To die (roughly simple.).

Origin:

There are several versions of the origin of this expression. According to one of them, the turnover is associated with the verb zadubet "to cool down, lose sensitivity, become hard." Thus, the original meaning of the turnover is "to become motionless, like an oak tree, to straighten up, to grow cold." According to another version, the expression may be due to the fact that the dead were buried under the oak. The third version connects the origin of the expression with pagan rites: according to this hypothesis, the original form of turnover: "to give to the oak", that is, to make a sacrifice to the deity, it is known that the oak was the sacred tree of the thunder god Perun.

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 ... >>

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. ... >>

Miniature Mod Locking Laser 27.11.2023

Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have unveiled an innovative miniature mode-locked laser (MLL) that, due to its compact size, can be integrated into microcircuits. This laser is used to generate ultra-short pulses, allowing precise measurements in the microscopic world. Scientists claim that such a laser will be useful not only in specialized devices, but also in ordinary smartphones.

The creation of a miniature mode-locked laser opens new horizons for the application of laser technology in everyday life. The integration of such devices into smartphones opens up the potential for a variety of applications, including vision diagnostics and environmental analysis, which could be an important step in the development of medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.

To make microscale measurements, you need a laser that has the ideal combination of power and precision. However, most existing lasers that meet these requirements are extremely bulky, expensive to maintain, and require large amounts of electricity. The laser developed by American scientists fits on the tip of a finger and is capable of making a real revolution.

These lasers can be used to solve a variety of problems, ranging from navigation without the use of GPS to working with atomic clocks. However, the main goal for the Caltech team was to create a device that could easily fit in a bag or pocket. Scientists have managed to exceed their expectations by creating a laser that can be built into the chip of a regular smartphone. The material used in the manufacturing process is thin film lithium niobium (TFLN), which allows the use of external radio frequency electrical signals to precisely control laser pulses. The laser material was connected to a special type of conductor compatible with TFLN.

Test results showed that the laser was capable of generating 4,3 picosecond pulses in the near-infrared region with a peak power of about 0,5 W. The developers note that the device is highly versatile in operating modes, which in the future will facilitate its integration into mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
