A dead man like an aubrey (obra, aubre)

Nestor the Chronicler

Phraseologism: Died like aubry (obra, aubre).

Meaning: About someone who died, disappeared without a trace.

Origin: An expression from The Tale of Bygone Years. Obry (Avars), capturing in the 6th c. Slavic tribe Dulebs, cruelly mocked them. For this, God destroyed the Avars.

Random phraseology:

Roman cucumber.

Meaning:

Ridiculous fiction, excessive exaggeration (iron.).

Origin:

From the fable "The Liar" (1812) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844). A certain traveler tells about what he saw, obviously lying: “Here in Rome, for example, I saw a cucumber: // Oh, my creator! // And to this day I don’t remember! // Would you believe it? Well, right, he was !" I. A. Krylov borrowed the plot of the fable from the German writer Christian Fürchtegott Gellert (1715-1769). Krylov's line has turned into a folk proverb: "It's good to tell a fairy tale about a Roman cucumber."

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. ... >>

Hear the molecules 30.01.2019

Ultrasound technologies have been widely used by people for several decades, providing non-destructive control of technological processes, allowing physicians to see the internal organs of a person without the need for surgical intervention, etc. It is quite natural that with an increase in the general level of development of modern technologies, ultrasonic technologies also become more advanced, sensitive and functional. And what researchers from the University of Queensland managed to achieve can be characterized by the phrase "achieving perfection", the ultrasonic device they developed has such a high sensitivity that it is able to "hear" the vibrations of individual air molecules or the movement of individual living cells, including bacteria .

In conventional ultrasonic technology, the transmitter and receiver are made from crystals of piezoelectric materials. These materials are known to vibrate when an electric current is applied to them, creating sound vibrations whose frequency is beyond the sensitivity of the human ear. Ultrasonic waves, passing through air or water, are reflected from harder surfaces and returned to the receiver, where the mechanical vibrations are converted back into an electrical signal. Computing devices can decipher the information contained in the arrival delay time of reflected waves, their shape, phase, and build a fairly clear image based on this information.

Naturally, ultrasonic technologies have their limits, determined by the sensitivity and other parameters of the technique used. So the Queensland researchers had to use an unconventional approach to get the increased sensitivity of their device. And the device, in fact, is a quartz disk, 148 microns in diameter and 1.8 microns thick, placed on top of a semiconductor laser structure. Because sound vibrations affect the disc material at different points in different ways, this results in tiny deformations that are read by the laser and used to build higher quality images.

This new ultrasonic transducer is at least one hundred times more sensitive than any current high precision transducer. It measures the distortion of ultrasonic waves caused by very weak forces, such as gravitational forces pulling down on a single molecule. In other words, this sensor can hear vibrations of individual molecules or "echoes" of processes occurring inside individual living cells.
