Attempt on mirages
Tendryakov V.F.
Phraseologism: An attempt on mirages.
Meaning: It is used as a playfully ironic commentary on an attempt to dispel someone's illusions, to reveal the true state of affairs.
Origin: The title of the book (published in 1987) by the Soviet writer Vladimir Fedorovich Tendryakov (1923-1984).
Random phraseology:
Time works for us.
Meaning:
On the improvement and strengthening of the situation day by day.
Origin:
In 1866 in England, in the House of Commons, under the influence of the growth of the labor movement, Lord Russell's liberal cabinet put forward a bill for the reform of the suffrage. During the debate, W. Gladstone (1809-1898), the future prime minister, defending the political rights of the workers, exclaimed to the conservatives: "You cannot fight against the future. Time works for us." The last phrase, which has become winged in Russian speech, is not a completely accurate translation. Gladstone's original words: "Time is on our side", i.e. "Time is on our side." |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Axial Higgs mode
11.06.2022
Researchers from Boston College (USA) have discovered a new particle - the so-called axial Higgs mode. Materials containing this particle can serve as quantum sensors to evaluate other quantum systems and help answer pressing questions in particle physics.
Ten years ago, scientists discovered the Higgs boson - and this discovery was key to understanding mass. Other particles have also been theoretically predicted, including the axial Higgs mode. These theories were intended to explain "dark matter," the nearly invisible material that makes up most of the universe but only manifests itself through gravity.
While the Higgs boson was discovered in experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, a new particle was found literally on the table. The team used a quantum material such as rare earth tritelluride (RTe3), which can be studied at room temperature in a "benchtop" experimental format.
RTe3 has properties that mimic the theory behind the axial Higgs mode. But the main problem in the search for Higgs particles in general is their weak connection with experimental probes, such as light rays, the scientists note. Similarly, revealing the subtle quantum properties of particles usually requires fairly complex experimental setups, including huge magnets and powerful lasers, while cooling the samples to extremely low temperatures.
In the same experiment, physicists used laser light scattering and quantum stimulation. So they managed to create favorable conditions in order to detect the particle.
The material the team used exhibits a "charge density wave," a state in which electrons self-organize at a periodic density in space. This wave originated in the material and indicated both the Higgs boson and additional components - particles that have angular momentum (the axial Higgs mode refers to them).
The team used light scattering, in which a laser illuminates a material and can change color and polarization. The color change is due to light creating a Higgs boson in the material, and polarization is sensitive to the symmetry components of the particle. As a result, by simply changing the polarization of the light, scientists were able to reveal the hidden magnetic component and discover the first axial Higgs mode.
