Spirit pornography
Voznesensky A.A.
Phraseologism: Spirit pornography.
Meaning: About cynicism, oblivion of shame, conscience and moral standards.
Origin: The title of the poem (1974) by the poet Andrei Andreevich Voznesensky (1933-2010).
Random phraseology:
One swallow does not make spring.
Meaning:
About false or insufficient signs of something.
Origin:
From the fable of the ancient Greek fabulist Aesop (VI century BC) about a young man who squandered all his father's inheritance. Of it, he kept only a cloak, in which he wrapped himself in winter. And when he saw the first swallow that arrived, he decided that now he did not need it either, since spring had come. But the frosts hit, the swallow died, and it became clear that the young man was cruelly mistaken in hastening to part with a warm cloak. On the same plot, I. A. Krylov wrote the fable "Mot and Swallow" (1818), in which this expression is called a folk proverb: "Yes, he just forgot the proverb among the people: / That a swallow alone does not make spring." |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Peaceful creatures turn into predators
16.01.2017
Last fall, the American firm Northrop Grumman announced plans to develop, together with the US Air Force Research Laboratory, a small laser that would be mounted on fighter jets and serve as a "defensive" weapon, i.e. hit attacking missiles, drones and enemy aircraft. Thanks to active focusing, the future system will be able to perform various tasks as needed, including identifying targets and changing the focus of the laser to maintain maximum efficiency when the air is disturbed along the path of the beam.
Recently, scientists at Yale University unexpectedly discovered another possible use for such a laser, although their research has not (yet) been in the field of defense. They studied the predatory instincts of animals using optogenetics, stimulating the activity of neurons through targeted irradiation of cells. So far, this technique has been used, for example, to deliver drugs to deep brain tissues, possibly treat acquired blindness, and to control pain.
In a new experiment, scientists stimulated neurons in the amygdala of a mouse's brain with a laser and found that one of the nerve groups triggered a predatory instinct in the animal, while another turned on the jaw muscles, causing the mice to bite anything and everyone in their path. When the laser was turned on, the mice jumped on the object, grabbed it with their jaws and began to bite intensely as if it were their victim. Moreover, the hungrier the mice were, the more aggressive their behavior was, and they bit absolutely everything they came across - bottle caps, sticks, toys and live insects. However, they did not attack their fellow caged mice, which is quite valuable if this technology is used for the soldiers of the future.
