Seven foreheads

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Seven spans in the forehead.

Meaning: About a very smart person.

Origin: The expression arose on the basis of phrenological ideas that one can judge the mental abilities of a person by the height of the forehead. The ancient measure of the length of the span was equal to the distance between the ends of the stretched thumb and forefinger (smaller span) or the thumb and middle fingers (large span). The expression is based on hyperbole, since a man with seven spans in his forehead would have to have a forehead about one and a half meters high.

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 ... >>
