Peak hour
French
Phraseologism: Rush hour.
Meaning: The time of the highest voltage, the greatest congestion in the work of transport, the power grid, etc.
Origin: This expression is a tracing paper from the French "heures de pointe". There is also an opinion that this is a half-calculus of the English expression "peak hours".
Random phraseology:
The man is simple.
Meaning:
It is cited ironically about the negligent attitude of medical staff to their duties, to patients.
Origin:
From the comedy "Inspector General" (1836) by N.V. Gogol (1809-1852), the words of the trustee of the charitable institutions of Strawberry (act. 1, phenom. 1): "A simple man: if he dies, he will die, if he recovers, then get well." |

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 Optical fiber for the quantum internet
19.08.2021
Scientists from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have created a unique communication solution that is designed to connect the interface of a quantum computer with a conventional fiber optic network. A characteristic feature of the development is that it allows communication to be established without the significant increase in temperature that usually accompanies the operation of quantum computers.
The principle of the new system lies in the special organization of the communication environment, which increases the throughput of computational operations performed by computer qubits.
"Any arbitrary algorithm can be implemented on our platform with the right input, namely optical qubits. The computer is fully programmable," explained project leader Mikkel Vilsbell Larsen.
One of the engineers also added that this development is far superior to traditional superconductor systems, as they use a limited number of qubits, while the DTU optical system allows you to use an almost unlimited number of qubits for solving problems.
At the same time, the complex does not need to be equipped with a powerful cooling unit; work can be carried out even at room temperature.
