See Naples and die

Latin
Latin

Phraseologism: See Naples and die.

Meaning: To see, to try all the most important things in life.

Origin: From Latin: Videre Napoli et Mori. Traditionally translated erroneously due to a play on words, since mori in Latin is both Mori, a village near Naples, and the verb "to die." In the original: "To see Naples and Mori, that is, to see everything - both the city of Naples and the village of Mori." The expression serves as the basis for creating the same type of phrases - "See Paris and die", etc.

Random phraseology:

Play on nerves.

Meaning:

Annoy, annoy someone with something.

Origin:

The expression is associated with the Latin name for the string "nervus". After the discovery by ancient doctors of the nerves in the human body, they named them by their resemblance to the strings of musical instruments with the same word - "nervus". Thus, the prerequisites for the development of a figurative meaning arose: the phrase "play on the nerves" became the designation of an irritating effect.

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. ... >>

Gilded Bow Muscles 14.05.2015

Scientists from the National Taiwan University have managed to create artificial muscles from the epidermis of onions.

Existing synthetic polymer-based muscles can contract and flex but, unlike real ones, cannot do both at the same time. During the experiments, the researchers found that the transparent thin film of the skin of the onion shrinks under the influence of electricity and has excellent flexibility.

To make artificial muscles out of it, moisture was removed from the onion skin using freeze-drying, and to remove hemicellulose from the fabric and restore lost flexibility, the sample was treated with sulfuric acid. Then the epidermis was coated on both sides with a layer of gold and cut into thin strips.

Depending on the tension, the muscle bands are able to contract, and the onion test tweezers were able to lift a 0,1 milligram cotton ball. Scientists will continue experiments in practice and hope that the "onion" technology will find its application.
