The language was given to the diplomat in order to hide his thoughts

Charles Maurice Talleyrand

Phraseologism: Language is given to a diplomat in order to hide his thoughts.

Meaning: About endurance, the ability to speak tactfully.

Origin: According to legend, the words of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs Charles Maurice de Talleyrand (1754-1838), which he said (1807) in a conversation with the Spanish ambassador to France, Izquierdo, when he reminded Talleyrand of the promises he had made to King Charles IV of Spain. Perhaps, in this case, Talleyrand only quoted a phrase from the play (scene 6) "Forced Marriage" by J. B. Molière.

Random phraseology:

To the left of common sense.

Meaning:

About left-wing radicals and extremists whose slogans, calls and actions contradict elementary common sense.

Origin:

The words of the Russian Marxist, Social Democrat, publicist Georgy Valentinovich Plekhanov (1857-1919).

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. ... >>

Subcutaneous nanosensor 07.11.2013

Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important molecules in living cells. It is responsible for the delivery of signals within and between cells, and coordinates the work of the immune system. Many cancer cells have abnormal levels of nitric oxide, but scientists don't know exactly how this gas works. So, according to them, the role of nitric oxide in the progression of cancer is highly controversial, and scientists need new tools to understand the process.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a new tool to measure the body's nitric oxide levels in real time. The sensor designed by engineers can be implanted in the body (under the skin) for more than a year and control the process of inflammation - the process during which NO is produced.

This work is the first proof that nanosensors can be used directly in the body for an extended period of time. Sensors made of carbon nanotubes are expected to be used, among other things, to detect other molecules, such as glucose. Already, a team of researchers is working on a sensor for diabetics that will monitor sugar and insulin levels without the need to take blood samples.

Carbon nanotubes one nanometer thick, scientists consider promising for the manufacture of sensors. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have recently developed carbon tube sensors for various molecules, including hydrogen peroxide and sarin. Such sensors use the fluorescence of carbon nanotubes: when a nanotube binds to a particular molecule, it glows brighter or dimmer.

In the new work, the researchers modified the nanotube to create two different types of sensors: one for insertion into the bloodstream for short-term monitoring, and the other for long-term implantation under the skin.

To improve sensor performance, scientists used a biocompatible polymer (polyethylene glycol), which prevents particles from sticking together in the bloodstream. Experiments on mice have shown that in this case, the particles can pass through the lungs and heart without causing any damage. Most particles accumulate in the liver, where they are used to monitor NO levels. At the same time, the researchers note that so far they have studied only the liver, but now they see that the particles remain in the blood. This means that it is possible to study different areas of the body with the help of nanoparticles.

The sensor for long-term residence in the body consists of nanotubes embedded in an alginate gel (a polymer derived from algae). After implantation under the skin of mice, the gel remained in place and functioned for 400 days. But the researchers suggest that the life of the sensor can be extended. In the future, such a sensor would be useful for monitoring cancer or other inflammatory diseases, and for detecting immune responses in patients with artificial hips or other implanted devices.

Scientists are now working on adapting this technology for glucose detection. It is assumed that nanotubes will replace electrochemical sensors for measuring blood sugar levels, which do not work for long, and also increase the risk of infection due to the penetration of the electrode under the skin. But the new sensor will determine the level of sugar in real time, and the insulin pump connected to it will supply the hormone in the right amount.
