super task
Stanislavsky K.S.
Phraseologism: Super task.
Meaning: The highest goal to be achieved.
Origin: The author of the expression is one of the founders of the Moscow Art Theater, director Konstantin Sergeevich Stanislavsky (1863-1938). He explained the essence of this term in his book The Actor's Work on Himself (Ch. XV).
Random phraseology:
Carve the sea.
Meaning:
About a man who blames anyone but himself for all his failures, and in such claims to others comes to the point of absurdity.
Origin:
From the legend of the Persian king (from 486 BC) Xerxes (? -465 BC), who in 480-479. BC e. led the Persian campaign in Greece, which ended in defeat. When the battle of Salamis was being prepared, Xerxes ordered a pontoon bridge to be built in order to quickly transfer his military forces to the battlefield. But the wind picked up, the bridge was destroyed. The furious king ordered the sea to be punished, and the Persian executioners who were with the army flogged the sea water. The sea was "punished". |

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 Electrically conductive gel could help create flexible robots
14.04.2023
Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have succeeded in combining polymers with liquid metal to develop an organogel composite that is ultra-flexible and highly conductive.
Thanks to the new gel, scientists may be on their way to creating the first truly "soft" robots and self-healing biometric devices. According to the creators, their material is soft and very elastic, with a deformation limit of more than 400%.
To create a composite, the original polymer was immersed in a solvent to achieve plasticity. The resulting polymer base was then mixed with microscopic droplets of a liquid gallium-indium alloy and silver flakes. The end product was a low-density gel-like substance containing enough metal to transmit electricity.
The torn piece of the composite can be reattached, after which it will restore its shape. Its electrical conductivity is superior to any other elastic material, allowing electrical components to be connected without sacrificing functionality.
The main problem with most gel substances is their tendency to dry out, but the developers used ethylene glycol as the base, which has a negligible evaporation rate.
The inventors used their composite to create a snail robot, a toy car, and a biometric monitor. The new composite was used only to connect the battery and motor of the snail robot and proved to be highly maintainable.
In the toy car, the new material made it possible to quickly combine electrical circuits and power the engine and headlights. As a reconfigurable bioelectrode, the material can be used to measure muscle activity using electromyography (EMG) on any part of the body.
Removing the most "rigid" machine components and replacing them with gelled "nervous systems" will allow engineers to create truly flexible robots and devices. This opens up countless possibilities, especially in medicine, where scientists can mimic living organs or create self-healing biometric monitors for the heart and other muscles.
Real soft robots can attach to the skin, crawl on the floor of the house and help the owner in everyday activities.
