What is he to Hekuba, what is he to Hekuba?
William Shakespeare
Phraseologism: What is he to Hekuba, what is he to Hekuba?
Meaning: About a person who is indifferent to something or someone, and in relation to someone who interferes in a matter that does not concern him.
Origin: Quote from William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet. These words are spoken by Prince Hamlet about the skill of the actor, who has just read an excerpt from the monologue of Aeneas, describing the suffering of Hecuba, the wife of the murdered Trojan king Priam. Impressed by the actor's art of impersonation and his ability to experience events that do not affect him personally, Hamlet once again returns to the famous "Hamletian question" about the motives for a person's action or inaction.
Random phraseology:
Witch-hunt.
Meaning:
About the persecution of someone on an unjust charge, about the search for imaginary enemies.
Origin:
Tracing paper from the English "witch-hunt". It goes back to the practice of medieval religious fanaticism, to the courts of the Inquisition, in which women accused (on false denunciations) of witchcraft were subjected to terrible trials and sentenced to be burned at the stake. |

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 ... >>
