Brigantine sets sail

Kogan P.D.

Phraseologism: The brigantine sets sail.

Meaning: About the start, the beginning of something significant.

Origin: From the song "Brigantine" (1937), written by the composer G. Lepsky to the verses of the poet Pavel Davidovich Kogan (1918-1942): "Tired of talking and arguing, // And loving tired eyes ... // In the filibuster far blue sea // The brigantine raises the sails." Song version of the second line: "And look into tired eyes", the third line: "... the far blue sea". The expression became the basis for the formation of similar turns in journalism, which, as a rule, described the beginning of a certain process, the start of an enterprise, etc.

Random phraseology:

Public opinion.

Meaning:

The attitude of the population to various life events.

Origin:

From French: L "opinion publique. A literal translation of the French expression, which was first encountered by the French philosopher and writer Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) in his novel Julia, or New Eloise (1761). Quote from the comedy A. S. Griboyedov "Woe from Wit" (1824), 4, 10. Chatsky, about whom gossip was circulated that he had lost his mind, indignantly says: "What is this? did I hear with my ears! // Not laughter, but obviously anger, by what miracles? // Through what sorcery // Everyone repeats the absurdity about me?.. // Whose composition is this? // Fools believed, they tell others, // Old women instantly sound the alarm, // And here is public opinion!

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. ... >>

Ultra-bright thin-film LEDs and lasers 02.04.2019

Super-bright LEDs and lasers have firmly entered our lives and are used both for conventional lighting and in various kinds of measuring electronics. Manufacturing technologies using thin-film structures could take these semiconductor devices to a new level. For example, thin-film transistors have made liquid crystal panel technology ubiquitous and accessible in a way that would not have been possible with discrete transistors alone.

In Europe, the task of developing a technology for the production of thin-film light-emitting diodes and semiconductor lasers was assigned to the well-known Belgian microelectronics scientist Paul Hermans (Paul Heremans). The pan-European Council European Research Council (ERC), which distributes funds for promising developments in Europe, has allocated a five-year grant to Paul Hermans in the amount of 2,5 million euros. This is not the first ERC grant Hermans has received. During his career at the Belgian research center Imec, he led many successful projects in the field of semiconductor development, in particular, in 2012, Hermans received a grant for a project for the production of crystalline organic semiconductors.

Thin-film LEDs and lasers are also expected to be developed using organic materials. Today, thin-film LEDs have a brightness that is 300 times weaker than that of discrete super-bright LEDs based on materials from groups III-V of the periodic table. Hermans' task will be to bring the brightness of thin-film structures closer to the capabilities of their discrete counterparts. At the same time, it will be possible to produce thin-film structures on thin and flexible substrates from a wide range of materials, including plastic, glass, and metal foil.

Progress on this front will make it possible to make a breakthrough in the mass of promising areas. These are silicon photonics, and displays for augmented reality headsets, and lidars for self-driving cars, and spectrometers for individual diagnostic systems, and much, much more.
