From "The Story of Unrequited Love" (1923) by Maxim Gorky (pseudonym of Alexei Maksimovich Peshkov, 1868-1936). The author writes about a strange owner of a stationery shop, who conducts his business with obvious indifference, "as if doing someone else's business, which is not interesting to him", but keeps in his shop a collection of postcards with a portrait of a little-known actress, some of which he himself published, with speaks passionately about her successes on stage, about her talent. The author concludes: "Undoubtedly, it was some kind of eccentric. Eccentrics adorn the world. I decided to get to know him better, I succeeded ..."

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. ... >>

Quantum teleportation over urban fiber 01.10.2016

Two research teams, one from China and one from Canada, have independently managed to carry out the first quantum teleportation in history not in a laboratory, but over ordinary urban fiber optic communication systems.

Theoretically, the possibility of quantum teleportation was predicted by physicists in 1993. The essence of this phenomenon is that the so-called entangled particles can exchange information about their own state at a distance, thus, as if instantly moving from place to place. In recent years, experiments have been actively carried out that have shown that this is a reality, with each time the teleportation range is growing. But all of them were carried out in laboratories, in conditions far from real, because of which there was criticism about the inapplicability of the technology in an applied way. Now scientists have managed to carry out the first quantum teleportation over a fiber optic network, so far at a distance of 6 and 7 kilometers.

The technology used by the Chinese and Canadian scientists is somewhat different from that used in earlier experiments. There are usually two parties involved in the procedure, physicists call them Alice and Bob. Now another "character" has been added to this scheme, he received the name Charlie. In fact, this is a transmission link in the future quantum computer network, scientists explain.

Directly in the experiments, Chinese scientists teleported qubits. Their result will be applicable to the creation of quantum computers. Canadian researchers have been working with pairs of photons, their promising task is the development of new quantum encryption systems.
