Argus

Ancient Greek and Roman mythology

Phraseologism: Argus.

Meaning: Vigilant, vigilant watchman, inseparably watching someone.

Origin: In Greek mythology, Argus is a multi-eyed giant. The jealous goddess Hera assigned him as a guard to Io, the daughter of the king of Argos, with whom Zeus fell in love. Sleepless Argus vigilantly guarded Io. First mentioned in Homer. Hence the expression "Argus's eye" - supervision by a cheerful, vigilant, vigilant guard, from whom no one and nothing will hide. Sometimes this is called, following an ancient legend, a pattern on peacock feathers, the so-called "peacock eye". According to legend, when Argus died at the hands of Hermes, the goddess Gaia, in order to preserve the memory of her faithful servant, transferred his eyes to the plumage of a peacock.

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 The sleep of babies 14.12.2022 Consultant neurologist Topun Austin of the University of Cambridge has found out why babies sleep a lot in a new study. The researchers took a new approach for experiments - they created a special hat, where they built in light sources and sensors. This helped to measure the blood circulation in the children's brains on the principle of a pulse oximeter attached to a finger. This method had been used before, but it required a cap with electrodes attached to it. As part of the new study, the experts used 12 tiles placed in a hat and connected to a computer with a single cable. In the end, they got a brain image 10 times better than the fiber-optic cable system they had used before. It turned out that infants are characterized by a cyclical passage of two phases of sleep: active, when the children are mobile, and calm, when the child remains motionless. Scientists recorded the work of the brain of newborns, and also monitored their behavior using video surveillance. Then they studied brain activity and compared it with the behavior of newborns. It turned out that during the active phase of sleep, brain regions in the left and right hemispheres worked simultaneously and in the same way. There is a version that at this time the formation of long connections takes place in the brain. At the same time, when the resting phase of sleep sets in, shorter bonds are formed. During active sleep, the child creates a picture, and in a calm sleep, he clarifies some details.
