One hundred thousand why
Marshak S.Ya.
Phraseologism: One hundred thousand why.
Meaning: About the questions of an inquisitive person, more often a child.
Origin: From the poem of the English writer Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) "I have six servants ..." translated by Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak (1887-1964): "I have six servants // Agile, daring. // And that's it what I see around - // I know everything from them... // But I have a dear friend - // A person of young years. // Hundreds of thousands of servants serve her - // And there is no peace for everyone. // She chasing like dogs // In bad weather, rain and darkness // Five thousand Where, seven thousand How, // One hundred thousand Why. The expression "one hundred thousand why" became especially popular after S.Ya. In this book, he tells children about the origin and properties of the most ordinary things that surround them.
Random phraseology:
Get off the pantaloon.
Meaning:
Get confused (in reasoning).
Origin:
The expression comes from the name of Mount Pantelik in Greece. Marble was mined in the mountain, and there were many caves, grottoes and passages, once you got there, you could easily get lost. |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Liquid graphene transistor for implantation
22.02.2013
Scientists and engineers from the German Technische Universitat Munchen have developed a new type of liquid gate graphene transistor that opens up great possibilities in the implantation of electronic devices. Electrodes based on this technology can be safely implanted in the eyes, ears, spine and brain. This will allow us to treat degenerative diseases, repair failed organs, and even improve our senses, giving us "superhuman" abilities.
Today, despite numerous tests of electronic devices implanted in the human body, many problems remain in this promising area. One of the main ones is the hard silicon basis of modern electronics, which does not fit well with soft living tissues. As a result, even a slight displacement of silicon implants leads to the formation of scar tissue. In addition, the aggressive environment inside the human body quickly disables electronics.
German researchers believe that graphene is an ideal material for implantable electronics and demonstrate its biocompatibility. Graphene is a flexible and stable carbon sheet only one atom thick. In addition, the Germans demonstrated the possibility of creating graphene transistors that use natural biological fluids that surround implants as the main part (gate).
A new type of closed field effect transistor (SGFET) consists of a graphene base and a liquid electrolyte. The high mobility of charge carriers in graphene, which is enhanced at the graphene/electrolyte interface, makes it possible to create implantable devices that are far superior to all modern analogues.
Currently, scientists are testing the interaction of graphene with various cells, in particular retinal ganglion cells. Preliminary results show excellent biocompatibility.
