If to be, then to be the first
Chkalov V.P.
Phraseologism: If so, then be the first.
Meaning: Used as a formula to encourage someone in their activities.
Origin: The words of the famous Soviet ace pilot of the 1930s. Valery Pavlovich Chkalov (1904 -1938).
Random phraseology:
Can't see the forest for the trees.
Meaning:
Behind the details, particulars do not see the essence of the matter.
Origin:
From the poem (book 2) "Musarion, or the Philosophy of the Graces" (1768) by the German Enlightenment poet Christoph Martin Wieland (1733-1813), who repeated this expression later in his "History of the Abderites" (book 5, 1774). It is assumed that Wieland's formula is a paraphrase of a line from the poem "Horace" by the German poet and fabulist Friedrich Gagedorn (1708-1754). |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Electricity puts out the fire
05.02.2012
Defense science agency DARPA has developed a new method of extinguishing fires - using electricity.
A fire in a combat vehicle, on board a ship, or in any other confined space poses a mortal danger to people. Modern fire extinguishing technologies were developed many decades ago and mainly use the violation of chemical reactions in the combustion process. The key to the fire extinguishing systems of the future lies in the very physical nature of the flame.
Water cools a burning object, carbon dioxide smothers a fire by reducing the concentration of oxygen, and chemicals such as halon gas interrupt the combustion process. All of these technologies have serious disadvantages such as toxicity, damage to valuable property, and limited effectiveness in relation to various types of fire.
New DARPA technology successfully suppresses fire and prevents re-ignition by destabilizing the plasma torch with electromagnetic and acoustic fields. From a physical point of view, a flame is a cold plasma, including mobile electrons and slow positive ions. They can be affected not only by chemical reagents, but also by a magnetic field. In an experiment, DARPA scientists are demonstrating how a hand-held electrode can be used to extinguish a methane burner without the use of any chemicals.
Scientists are currently working on a scalable "electric fire extinguisher" technology. A prototype of the new fire extinguishing system will be installed in the habitable compartment of a small vehicle, like a HUMVEE car. In case of successful tests, the new system will certainly be widely used in space, marine and ground technology.
