Random phraseology:
Bay, listen up!
Meaning:
It is used when they want to oppose the arguments of force with reasonable evidence.
Origin:
The Persian king Xerxes, during the war with Greece, after a series of victories, reached the last defensive line of the Greeks - the Isthmian Isthmus. Between Athens and Sparta there was a disagreement on the question of who to entrust the main command of the fleet. Themistocles, who had great rights as the creator of the Athenian fleet, persuaded the Athenians not to insist on his candidacy, so as not to weaken the defense by internal strife. His rival Spartan Eurybiades was appointed to command the fleet. At the critical moment, he showed indecision. Themistocles rebelled against his intention to retreat before the Persians. "- In public games, punishment is imposed on those who rise without an order," said Eurybiades to Themistocles. “But those who lag behind are never crowned,” said Themistocles. Enraged, Eurybiades wanted to hit him. - Bay, but listen! exclaimed Themistocles. He managed to convince the embarrassed Eurybiades of the correctness of his plan, and he won a naval victory over the Persians at Salamis (480 BC), which decided the outcome of the war in favor of the Greeks (Plutarch, Sayings of Kings and Generals. Themistocles, 3-5) . |

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 Nanotechnology for strengthening concrete
24.02.2022
American scientists have synthesized a nanotechnological sealant that can significantly strengthen concrete.
Researchers from the University of Washington have solved the problem of the strength of concrete, which is used to build and strengthen various buildings. Engineers turned to nanomaterials, thanks to which they were able to improve the quality characteristics of concrete and create a super-strong mixture for construction.
Experts said that the destruction of concrete structures occurs for two reasons: due to the effects of moisture and the influence of various salts.
The authors of the study used two nanomaterials - graphene oxide and montmorillonite nanoclay - added to a conventional silicone-based sealant.
Under laboratory conditions, the resulting mixture was stronger than concrete: water-repellent properties increased by 75%, protection against salts - by 44%.
