Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Give pepper to someone.

Meaning: Severely scold, punish someone.

Origin: This expression is based on a metaphor: the pain of whipping, punishment is equated to the bitterness of pepper. But it is quite possible that pepper is used here not in a figurative, but in a direct sense, and the expression goes back to cruel punishments in Ancient Russia, when salt and pepper were poured into the wounds of the guilty.

Random phraseology:

Hypocrene.

Meaning:

Source of poetic inspiration.

Origin:

From ancient Greek mythology. According to the famous poet of Ancient Greece Hesiod (VIII-VII centuries BC) in his work "Theogony", Hypocrene is the name of the source on Mount Helikon, which was formed from the blow of the hoof of Pegasus, the horse of Zeus, the supreme god Olympus. It was considered. that anyone who drank the waters of Hypocrene acquires a poetic gift, becomes a poet.

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. ... >>

Stable miniature 3D airgel objects 26.08.2020

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) have created stable, well-shaped microstructures from silica airgel using a 3D printer. The printed structures can be up to tenths of a millimeter thick. The new silica airgel has better mechanical properties and can even be drilled and milled. This opens up completely new possibilities for post-processing 3D printed airgel molds.

Silica-based airgel are lightweight, porous foams that provide excellent thermal insulation. This material is very brittle, and therefore large airgel objects are usually reinforced with organic or bipolymer fibers. Turning small items from larger ones is not an easy task. And immediately printing a miniature object is even more difficult.

The new method developed by Empa scientists makes it possible to obtain small and stable objects from airgel. Using the method, it is possible to fine-tune the flow and solidification properties of silicon ink, from which airgel is subsequently obtained, so that it is possible to print both self-supporting structures and thin membranes. As an example of such structures, the researchers printed the leaves and inflorescences of a lotus flower. The test object floats on the surface of the water due to the hydrophobic properties and low density of the silica airgel - just like its natural model. The new technology also makes it possible for the first time to print complex XNUMXD microstructures from multiple materials.

Using a printed airgel membrane, the researchers constructed a "thermomolecular" gas pump that operates without any moving parts ("Knudsen pump"). The principle of operation is based on the limited transfer of gas in a network of nanosized pores or one-dimensional channels, the walls of which are hot at one end and cold at the other. The team built such an airgel pump that was coated on one side with black manganese oxide nanoparticles. When a light source is directed at it, the pump heats up on the dark side and begins to pump gases or solvent vapors.

Such a pump, which is powered solely by sunlight, can not only pump air, but also purify it. If there are contaminants or toxins in the air - such as the solvent toluene - the air can circulate through the membrane several times and the contaminant is chemically destroyed by a reaction catalyzed by the manganese oxide nanoparticles.
