Did you all sing? This is the case: so come on, dance!

Krylov I.A.

Phraseologism: Did you all sing? This is the case: so come on, dance!

Meaning: Used as a commentary on the natural consequences of someone's unreasonable, wrong behavior.

Origin: From the fable "Dragonfly and Ant" (1808) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844). "Dragonfly" in this case is a grasshopper. At the time of Krylov, he was called that way, and he is depicted in the illustrations of those years for this fable.

Random phraseology:

Darkness and fog.

Meaning:

1. About some complex, obscure matter. 2. About a bad, gloomy mood. 3. About unclear prospects in personal destiny or in social development.

Origin:

From German: Nachtund Nebel. The original source is the opera cycle "Ring of the Nibelung" by the German composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883). The expression became widely known as the name of Adolf Hitler's secret order issued on December 7, 1941, according to which "persons representing a danger to German security" were arrested in the territories of Holland, Belgium and France. Although the order did not explicitly state that they were to be destroyed. but it was pointed out that these faces should "disappear without a trace in darkness and fog." And to the present (although the relevant German archives fell into the hands of the Allied forces), neither the fate of these people, nor the exact number of victims of this operation is known. The expression has become associated with the very order of Hitler, and with the events that followed.

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.

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. ... >>

Transferable solar panels 23.04.2013

Engineers from the South Korean Hanyang University have developed thin solar cells that can be glued to any curved surface by soaking them in water first. Thin-layer solar cells are based on amorphous hydrogen-saturated (hydrogenated) silicon. Their structure and method of production practically do not differ from solid solar panels of this type.

The innovation introduced by the authors lies in the fact that a metal layer is introduced between the base, the silicon wafer, and the thin photoactive layer. It is he who makes it quite easy to separate a thin photocell from a silicon base, which can be reused. In general, the process resembles gluing decals - soaking in water and then transferring to the desired surface.

The authors showed that the new thin solar cells can be applied to materials such as paper, plastic, window glass or the back of a mobile phone. This does not reduce the initial efficiency of power generation, which is about 7,5%.

Previously, another group of engineers has already shown ultra-thin and flexible solar cells created on an organic substrate. Their effectiveness, however, was almost two times lower. Also recently, scientists have developed flexible and transparent batteries that can be used to store energy from such flexible photovoltaic cells.
