A delicate situation
Proverbs and sayings
Phraseologism: A delicate situation.
Meaning: Awkward, uncomfortable situation.
Origin: Associated with tickling sensations.
Random phraseology:
Start with the basics.
Meaning:
Start at the beginning (often frowned upon).
Origin:
The idea of the beginning lies in the word "az" - the name of the first letter of the Russian alphabet. The word "ases" called the letters, the whole letter in general. "Writing the basics" in the old days meant "writing letters" and "learning to read and write." Hence - the figurative use of the word "basics" - "the foundations, the beginning of something", which has become a source of phraseology to start from the basics, i.e. "from the very beginning, from the very foundations, laying the foundation on an empty, bare spot." |

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 ... >>
