With fear and trembling

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: With fear and trembling.

Meaning: About someone's obsequious behavior, fear, timidity, etc.

Origin: From the Bible. It occurs in the New Testament, in the Second Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians (ch. 7, article 15), in the Epistle to the Philippines (ch. 2, article 12). The Old Testament (Psalms, ps. 2, v. 11) says: "Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling."

Random phraseology:

Marathon.

Meaning:

About something long, protracted (compared to usual practice) and exhausting.

Origin:

Today, the name of sports running over a distance of 42 kilometers 195 meters. This is the distance between two Greek cities - Marathon and Athens. It was decided to run this distance in memory of the warrior who ran the path from Marathon to Athens without a single stop, hurrying to please the Athenians with the news of the victory over the huge Persian army in the battle of Marathon. The ancient Greek commander Miltiades defeated the Persians utterly, incapacitating more than six and a half thousand Persians. At the same time, the losses of the Greeks amounted to only 192 warriors. Thanks to this victory, another popular expression was born - "The laurels of Miltiades do not let me sleep."

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. ... >>

High Efficiency Heat Resistant Solar Panel 28.10.2013

Scientists from Stanford University, the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign and North Carolina State University have created a heat-resistant thermal emitter that can significantly increase the efficiency of solar panels - theoretically up to 80%. The new solar cell component is designed to convert solar heat into infrared radiation, which is absorbed by the solar cell and increases its power.

A conventional solar cell is based on semiconductor silicon, which absorbs the energy of sunlight and converts it into electrical energy. But silicon semiconductors process only infrared light, and other waves, including most of the visible spectrum, are wasted: they are dissipated as heat. Therefore, in theory, conventional silicon panels can achieve an efficiency of about 34%, but in practice they do not reach even this, because they simply reflect and dissipate the energy of sunlight.

The new thermophotovoltaic panel solves this problem. Instead of transmitting sunlight directly to a solar cell, a thermophotovoltaic cell has an intermediate component that consists of two parts: an absorber (heats up when exposed to sunlight) and an emitter (converts heat into infrared radiation). Simply put, the new cell "recodes" sunlight into shorter wavelengths that are ideal for absorption by the solar cell. This makes it possible to increase the theoretical efficiency of the cell up to 80%.

Unfortunately, the thermophotovoltaic solar panel prototype has so far been nowhere near this efficiency: in the laboratory, it shows an efficiency of about 8%. The low performance is largely due to the insufficient thermal stability of the heat converter. The emitter is a complex, three-dimensional tungsten nanostructure that must operate at temperatures above 1000 degrees Celsius. However, in previous experiments at a given temperature, the emitter was destroyed.

To solve this problem, the scientists coated the emitter with a nanolayer of tungsten and a ceramic material - hafnium dioxide. Unlike previous prototypes, which were completely destroyed at temperatures below 1200 degrees Celsius, the new thermal emitter remains stable at temperatures up to 1 degrees Celsius for at least 1400 hour.

The new thermal emitter is ideal for creating high-efficiency solar panels capable of converting a significant portion of the absorbed sunlight into electricity. At the same time, hafnium and tungsten can be produced in quantities sufficient for the mass production of new solar panels, with an efficiency at least 2 times higher than that of modern commercial solar panels.
