Meaning: A publicized shameful event in the life of a man, a family with a hitherto impeccable reputation.

Origin: The author of the expression is a Russian writer of the 1815th century. Nikolai Ivanovich Kulikov (1891-1874). He is the author of a vaudeville which - without giving the name of the author - was staged in Moscow in 1875 under the title "A Scandal in a Noble Family". A year later, in XNUMX, this vaudeville under the same name was staged in St. Petersburg. Although the play itself was written by N. I. Kulikov based on a German comedy, its title is quite original, since the German play was called differently - "Dear Uncle" ("Der liebe Onkel"). Vaudeville remained in the repertoire of Russian theaters for a long time, and its name became a catch phrase.

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.

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 ... >>
