Wild people! Children of the mountains

Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov

Phraseologism: Wild people! Mountain children.

Meaning: A jokingly ironic commentary on someone's strange customs, actions, etc.

Origin: From the novel "The Twelve Chairs" (1927) by Soviet writers Ilya Ilf (1897-1937) and Evgeny Petrov (1903-1942). This is how tourists traveling in the Caucasus speak of local residents.

Random phraseology:

Sadly I look at our generation!

Meaning:

About contemporaries whose behavior disappoints, upsets the speaker (jokingly-iron.).

Origin:

From the poem "Duma" (1838) by M. Yu. Lermontov (1814-1841): "I look sadly at our generation! // Its future is either empty or dark."

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. ... >>

The water was heated to a record temperature 16.05.2018

Scientists from the German research center for particle physics DESY and Uppsala University (Sweden) conducted an experiment on ultra-fast heating of water with an X-ray laser (razer) - and looked to see if the result matches the simulation.

Usually, heating when boiling water consists in transferring kinetic energy to molecules through vibration using convection or heat radiation. But in this case, physicists used a different method, where energy is transferred through ionization by single femtosecond pulses of an X-ray free electron laser. This causes rapid ionization with the appearance of an exotic plasma state known as warm dense matter (WOM).

Warm dense matter (WDM) is the state of aggregation of matter, which, in terms of its parameters, is between a solid body and an ideal plasma. It is too dense to be described as a plasma, and too hot to qualify as condensed matter physics. In other words, it is something between a plasma and a solid. It is much denser than plasma (between 0,01 and 100 g/cm2) and in some cases has a specific gravity twice that of the solid from which it is derived. In general, a kind of Schrödinger substance.

The current experiment to obtain TPR from water was carried out by a group of scientists from the Center for Research on Free Electron Lasers (CFEL) at DESY. Heating of molecules with simultaneous study of the state was carried out using an X-ray free electron laser at the SLAC National Laboratory of Accelerators (USA). Rather carried out extremely intense ultrashort bursts of X-rays of 6,86 keV (more than 106 J/cm2) through a water jet.

In less than 75 femtoseconds, that is, 75 quintillionths of a second, water undergoes a phase transition from liquid to plasma. Plasma is a state of matter in which electrons are removed from atoms, resulting in a kind of electrically charged gas.

"But during the transformation of a liquid into a plasma, water still retains the density of the liquid, since the atoms have not yet had time to move significantly," explains co-author of the experiment Olof Jonsson (Olof Jonsson) from Uppsala University.

Such an exotic state of matter cannot be found in a natural state on Earth: "It has the same characteristics as some plasmas in the Sun and in the gas giant Jupiter, but only at a lower density. Meanwhile, it is hotter than the Earth's core." Conducting an experiment on water allows you to better learn about the properties of water in such an exotic state. This is all the more important given some of the truly unique properties of this substance:

"Water is really a strange liquid, and if it weren't for its peculiarities, then many things on Earth would not be the way they are, especially life," Jonsson emphasized. Water has many anomalous characteristics and properties, including density, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity.
