Ties of Hymen

Ancient Greek and Roman mythology

Phraseologism: Bonds of Hymen.

Meaning: Marriage, matrimony (book).

Origin: Hymen, the god of marriage, was depicted with a yoke and fetters on his feet. In ancient Greece, the word "hymen" meant both a wedding song and a deity of marriage sanctioned by religion and law, in contrast to Eros, the god of free love.

Random phraseology:

It cannot be, because it can never be.

Meaning:

The phrase is a symbol of thoughtless, categorical denial.

Origin:

From the story "Letter to a learned neighbor" by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904). The author of this letter, Vasily Semi-Bulatov, "The Don Troops, a retired constable from the nobility," writes to his neighbor with spelling and stylistic errors: the sun, there are black spots. This cannot be, because this can never be. How could you see spots on the sun if you cannot look at the sun with simple human eyes, and why are there spots on it, if you can do without them? What wet body are these very spots made of if they do not burn out? Perhaps, in your opinion, fish also live in the sun? Excuse me for the poisonous dope that I joked so stupidly! I am terribly devoted to science! "

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. ... >>

Graphene laser for photonic microcircuits 07.06.2013

An international team of researchers from the UK, Greece and Japan has found a new use for graphene. Based on this material, it was possible to create an infrared pulsed laser, and, according to scientists, such lasers can also generate ordinary light pulses.

Graphene is distinguished by the absence of a band gap, that is, its electrons can be in a state with any energy level, unlike insulators or semiconductors, which have a certain minimum distance between the ground state and the state following it in energy. Due to the absence of a band gap, graphene can absorb even quanta with not very high energy and thus temporarily block infrared laser radiation.

When graphene is exposed to infrared radiation, the material at a certain moment (in the experiments of physicists this happened in less than a nanosecond) sharply changes its optical properties and becomes transparent. According to scientists, the implementation of such an effect directly inside the ytterbium-glass laser makes it possible to control its operation: the laser emits only when the graphene film placed inside its resonator becomes sufficiently transparent. After the graphene releases a light pulse to the outside, it begins to absorb radiation again and everything repeats again, with a frequency of about 1,6 GHz.

Calculations show that a similar scheme can be successfully used to generate pulses with any other wavelength, both in the near infrared and in the visible range. In other words, it is theoretically possible to make pulsed lasers of various colors based on graphene, and the material does not need to be subjected to additional processing. The authors of the new work consider the heat resistance of the material to be another advantage of graphene: many other substances with similar properties quickly burn out under intense irradiation.
