Origin:

It arose from Greek myths about the Athenian hero Theseus (Theseus), who killed the Minotaur, a monstrous half-bull, half-man. At the request of the Cretan king Minos, the Athenians were obliged to send seven young men and seven girls to Crete every year, who were given to be eaten by the Minotaur, who lived in a labyrinth built for him, from where no one could get out. To accomplish a dangerous feat, Theseus was helped by the daughter of the Cretan king Ariadne, who fell in love with him. Secretly from her father, she gave him a sharp sword and a ball of thread. When Theseus and the boys and girls doomed to be torn to pieces were taken to the labyrinth, Theseus tied the end of the ball of thread at the entrance and went along the intricate passages, gradually unwinding the ball. Having killed the Minotaur, Theseus found his way out of the labyrinth by a thread and led out all the doomed from there. (Ovid, "Metamorphoses", 8, 172, "Heroines", 10, 103).

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 ... >>

Mouse Anatomy News 02.07.2007

It would seem that the laboratory white mouse has been studied up and down, but the immunologist Hans-Reimer Rodewald from the University of Ulm (Germany) was able to find a new, previously unknown organ in her. This is a substitute for the thymus gland, where immune cells are produced - T-lymphocytes and some important hormones.

The new gland is much smaller than the thymus and lies not in the chest, but in the neck of the mouse. Biologists believe that it makes sense to look for a second thymus gland in humans.
