Burn people's hearts with the verb
Pushkin A.S.
Phraseologism: Burn people's hearts with the verb.
Meaning: The purpose of a true artist of the word is to appeal to the minds and hearts of people. Jokingly-ironically about someone's excited speech or oratorical attempt to convince someone of something
Origin: From the poem "Prophet" (1828) by A. S. Pushkin (1799-1837): "And God's voice called to me: //" Arise, prophet, and see, and listen, // Fulfill my will, // And, bypassing the seas and lands, // Burn the hearts of people with a verb.
Random phraseology:
Hold your pocket wider.
Meaning:
You won't get anything, don't expect to get anything (mockingly ironic refusal to give anything).
Origin:
The word "pocket" in the expression retains the now obsolete meaning of "pouch or bag, fastened or sewn to clothing or belt to store something." The word is etymologically related to the Latin and Turkic words meaning "purse". Such a pocket-handbag could be worn, held, substituted, expanded, etc. The turnover used to have a more complete version, explaining its ironic meaning: “Keep your pocket wider, wide downwards”, that is, “do not count on someone or generosity. |

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 ... >>

| Random news from the Archive Logs in glass

The agents used so far for the impregnation of structural wood in order to protect against fire, decay, insects and fungi, as a rule, are based on compounds of arsenic, chromium and other toxic elements. Copper compounds are not as toxic, but corrode nails and other metal fasteners.
The American company "Timbersil" uses sodium silicate - liquid glass - to impregnate wood. It is injected into logs and boards under pressure, and then the wood is kept at a high temperature.
Liquid glass is baked, and now the tree is not afraid of termites, fungi, moisture, or fire.
