Meaning: 1. Touch a vulnerable, sore spot in someone. 2. Not trusting another, to be convinced of something by experience.

Origin: An expression that arose from the Gospel of John (20:25, 26), the apostle Thomas did not want to believe that Christ had risen until he put his fingers (fingers) into the wounds inflicted on the Lord from nails (nail ulcers): "Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not there with them when Jesus came in. The other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord, but he said to them, Unless I see the marks of the nails on my hands, and put my finger into the marks of the nails , and I will not put my hand in His side, I will not believe." "... I must confess that Poliksena Ivanovna, if she did not directly put her fingers into the ulcers, then in any case quite close felt the sore spot" (ME Saltykov-Shchedrin, Krugly God, First of December).

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. ... >>

Industrial fanless PC fits in the palm of your hand 27.10.2010

Miniature industrial computer AMOS-3001-1E10A1 manufactured by VIA Technologies is made in an embedded industrial case and can operate in the temperature range from -20 to 70°C. The computer is absolutely silent, as there are no moving parts in it.

The core of the system is a low-power 1,0 GHz VIA Eden ULV processor with low heat dissipation, which made it possible to abandon the active cooling system (no fans). Instead of a hard drive, an SSD is used. A large number of external interfaces (HDMI, LAN, 4xUSB, 1xRS-232, 1xRS-232/422/485/GPIO) allows the computer to be used in a wide range of applications.

AMOS-3001-1E10A1 comes preinstalled with Windows XP.
