Chicks of Petrov's nest

Pushkin A.S.

Phraseologism: Chicks of Petrov's nest.

Meaning: Companions of Peter I.

Origin: From the poem "Poltava" (1828-1829) by A. S. Pushkin (1799-1837). This is how the poet called the closest associates of Peter the Great: "A crowd followed him // These chicks of Petrov's nest - // In the changes of the lot of the earth, // In the labors of statehood and war // His comrades, sons: // And noble Sheremetev, // And Bruce, and Bour, and Repnin, // And, happiness, a rootless minion, // A semi-powerful ruler. "Semi-powerful ruler" - Alexander Danilovich Menshikov (1673-1729), the closest associate of Peter I. The expression sometimes serves as the basis for phrases of the same type with the corresponding replacement of the "nest" belonging.

Random phraseology:

Homunculus.

Meaning:

An artificial, unviable, fictional person who, from the point of view of a certain ideology or scientific doctrine, is considered ideal, the only "correct" (iron., contempt.).

Origin:

From Latin: Homunculus (from lat. Homo - man) - a small man, little man (reduce) or miserable man, "little man" (derogatory, ironic). The expression became widespread, common and household name after it was used by the German poet and scientist Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832) in his tragedy Faust (1808), where an artificial man created in a laboratory is so named.

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 ... >>
