Flowers of innocent humor
Saltykov-Shchedrin M.E.
Phraseologism: Flowers of innocent humor.
Meaning: Sharp criticisms, satirical articles, etc.
Origin: The title of an article (1864) by the literary critic Dmitry Ivanovich Pisarev (1840-1868) about the books of M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin "Satires in Prose" and "Innocent Stories".
Random phraseology:
Dance from the stove.
Meaning:
To do something, starting from the usual place, from the beginning.
Origin:
It is believed that the turn to dance from the stove came into the Russian literary language from the unfinished novel of the raznochinets writer V. A. Sleptsov "The Good Man" (1871). The hero of the novel, Terebenev, returns to his homeland after fruitless wanderings around Europe. He dreams of serving the people and remembers the pictures of his childhood, in particular, how he was taught to dance. When he lost time, he was forced to return to the stove again and start all over again. Remembering the scene at the stove, Terebenev understands that he needs to return to his home, to the old tiled stove, and start a new life there. However, according to other linguists, despite the fact that the expression to dance from the stove became widespread thanks to the novel "The Good Man", V. A. Sleptsov cannot be considered the author of the turnover. The custom to learn to dance from the stove was well spread in Russia of the last century in noble families. Thanks to the popularity of this custom, the expression to dance from the stove in a figurative sense also came into use. At the beginning of the XX century. the variant of the turnover was also known to dance not from the stove - “to do something out of habit”, “to find it difficult doing something for the first time”. |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Flexible Battery
22.01.2013
Scientists from the Ulsan National Science and Technology Institute (South Korea) announced the development of a "liquid-like" polymer electrolyte, on the basis of which it is possible to create flexible batteries, that is, rechargeable batteries. The authors of the project emphasize that the flexible battery behaves more stable than traditional batteries in operation.
The developers recalled that conventional lithium-ion batteries contain liquid electrolytes, which are associated with serious safety problems. The electrolyte separating film can melt under high temperature, causing the positive and negative cells to come into direct contact. And this, in turn, can cause a fire or even an explosion.
The appearance of flexible batteries is necessary for the further development of flexible electronic devices; today this is one of the most promising areas. In particular, Samsung has been intriguing the public with prototypes of flexible displays at numerous high-tech exhibitions for several years, but mass production of such panels has not yet started. Corning, maker of Gorilla Glass screen protectors, is also ready for a revolution, and work is underway on Willow's flexible screen protectors.
