Money is the nerve of war

Mark Tullius Cicero

Phraseologism: Money is the nerve of war.

Meaning: War can only be waged successfully if the means it requires are available.

Origin: From Latin: Nervus belli pecunia. The expression is based on the line of the ancient Greek poet Bion (III century BC): "Money is the nerve of all affairs." Later, the Roman statesman, orator and writer Cicero (Mark Tullius Cicero, 106-43 BC) somewhat paraphrased what Bion said, and his version - Money - the nerve of war - became winged, especially since he repeatedly repeated this expression in his philippic speeches.

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.

Heating by computers 04.10.2008

The Swiss branch of the well-known company IBM proposes to heat information centers and data banks with the heat generated by computers during operation.

It is estimated that the world's data centers consume 120 billion kilowatt-hours a year, and about half of this amount is spent on cooling servers. Cooling is now done by fans blowing air over microprocessors and other computer parts, but water removes heat 4000 times better than air. Therefore, IBM engineers propose to supply each microcircuit that is heated with a water radiator made of a silicon block with thin channels drilled in it for water circulation.

The heated water is sent to a heat exchanger, where it is cooled, giving off its heat to the central heating radiators, and returned to the servers again. If a medium-sized information center consuming one megawatt of power is supplied with such radiators, it will be able to heat not only its own premises, but also 50-60 neighboring single-family cottages.
