Through the magic crystal
Pushkin A.S.
Phraseologism: Through the magic crystal.
Meaning: Symbol of poetic imagination.
Origin: From the novel in verse "Eugene Onegin" (1823-1832) by A. S. Pushkin (1799-1837) (ch. 8, stanza 50): "Many, many days have passed // Since young Tatyana // And Onegin with her in a vague dream // Appeared to me for the first time - // And the distance of a free romance // I through a magic crystal // Still did not clearly distinguish. Pushkin's expression "magic crystal" is based on one of the methods of divination by means of a "magic crystal" - a small ball of transparent, colorless glass, in which, if you look at its shiny surface for a long time, various images seem to appear. Divination with such a "crystal" was very common at the beginning of the XNUMXth century. Pushkin speaks of him metaphorically.
Random phraseology:
Lots of plans.
Meaning:
About big plans, far-reaching plans, ideas, as well as about projects, the implementation of which is very problematic (jokingly ironic).
Origin:
From the poem "Good" (1927) by Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky (1893-1930): "I love the enormity of our plans, // Spanning the steps of a sazhen. // I rejoice at the march with which we go // to work and battle." |

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 ... >>

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 Siberian tundra under the threat of destruction
12.06.2022
Even if global warming could be drastically curtailed by reducing emissions, only a part of the northern Russian biome, including the island of Taimyr and most of the Palearctic, could survive. If current greenhouse gas emissions are halved by 2100, only 2500% of the Siberian tundra will remain in 5,7.
This conclusion was made by two German scientists Stefan Kruse and Ulrike Hertzshu from the Institute of Polar and Marine Research. Alfred Wegener after developing a climate model (named LAVESI) specifically designed to predict the changing relationship between the Siberian tundra and taiga.
The tundra is characterized by permafrost, poor animal diversity, and low vegetation, including shrubs, mosses, and lichens. The very cold average temperature does not allow many trees to grow, with the exception of willows and birches no more than a couple of meters high. The taiga, on the other hand, is a boreal forest located south of the tundra and consisting mainly of large coniferous trees such as larches.
The increase in temperature caused by global warming is allowing taiga trees to move north, "eating" valuable tundra soil - the main habitat of reindeer. The tundra is also home to arctic foxes, bears, wolves and lemmings, as well as many species of birds nesting.
If they disappear, as the German researchers suggest, the consequences will be catastrophic not only for biodiversity, but also for the indigenous population living along the natural resources of these lands, such as the Nenets.
The larger the area of forests, the more heat will be absorbed by the trees, which will lead to warming in the Arctic. This will provoke more cataclysms around the world, lead to the death or migration of species, and also complicate the delivery of goods by sea.
But even worse, as the permafrost melts, the tundra could release large amounts of accumulated greenhouse gases into the atmosphere - up to 1400 gigatonnes globally - which will increase global warming.
Scientists have developed a climate model capable of predicting the fate of the entire Siberian tundra, which stretches for about 4 km. They predict that if nothing is done to limit greenhouse gas emissions, the Siberian tundra will disappear by the year 000, being completely replaced by boreal forest. But even if we succeed in reducing carbon emissions, the tundra of the next few centuries will not be the same as it is today.
For example, the elimination of emissions by 2100 will save only 32,7% of the biome, which will be divided into two very remote regions - Chukotka and Taimyr Island. This will affect wildlife. On the other hand, if by the end of the century we manage to halve emissions, then in 2500, a little less than 6% will remain in place of the Siberian tundra.
One of the main problems of the tundra is that the advance of the taiga is almost impossible to stop even with further cooling of the climate. Researchers believe that people need to pay special attention to the environment right now, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and abandoning fossil fuels.
