Something overgrown

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Something has overgrown.

Meaning: Long forgotten, erased from memory (that is irretrievably gone).

Origin: There are two versions of the origin of this turnover. According to one of them, a phraseologism arose by implying more detailed sayings: You never know what happened, but it has grown. It was yes passed, yes it was overgrown. Words consonant with each other are played out in them: the verb to be and the collective noun past "grass, blade of grass". The word past is formed from the verb to be, but not in its modern sense, but in its more ancient meaning - "grow, grow." The saying It was, but it was overgrown with past, there is an option without the word past: It was, but overgrown with grass. However, there is another version: this phraseologism was formed not by implicating sayings, but on the basis of a combination of overgrown (overgrown) with past, i.e. "overgrown with grass (about a path, garden, etc.)". Grass grows in abandoned, forgotten places.

Random phraseology:

Stringless balalaika.

Meaning:

A very talkative person, idler (disapproved).

Origin:

Turnover of punning origin: balalaika "folk plucked musical instrument" and balalaika "balabolka" (simple).

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. ... >>

Diamond created at room conditions 17.12.2015

Scientists from the University of North Carolina (USA) managed to create a completely new phase of solid carbon, which can hardly be found in the natural environment.

The new material, called Q-carbon, can be produced artificially at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, and its strength is higher than that of diamond.

To obtain Q-carbon, the researchers deposited amorphous carbon on a glass, sapphire, or plastic polymer substrate, which does not have a distinct crystalline structure. The carbon was then exposed to a laser pulse lasting about 200 nanoseconds.

During this pulse, the temperature of the carbon rises to about 3727 °C, after which it cools rapidly. The process takes place at normal atmospheric pressure, and its result is a film of Q-carbon.

The progress of the operation can be controlled to change the thickness of the material from 20 to 500 nanometers. By using different substrates and varying the laser pulse duration, one can also control the carbon cooling rate, which makes it possible to create Q-carbon diamond structures.

Scientists consider their discovery very promising for the development of new electronic technologies and the creation of diamond single-crystal objects.
