What are brown dwarfs?

According to modern theoretical concepts, only objects with a mass exceeding the mass of Jupiter by 80 or more times become real stars. Objects with a mass less than 17 Jupiter masses are destined to become planets.

Brown dwarfs are objects with an intermediate mass between the two types described above. They are too large to be considered planets, but not large enough for thermonuclear reactions characteristic of stars to occur inside them (thermonuclear reactions can occur in their depths only with the most "light-burning" isotopes).

The existence of these barely warm, and therefore dark and difficult to distinguish objects, has only recently been experimentally proven (with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope).

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Is it true that in 1971 a tribe isolated from the rest of the world for thousands of years was discovered in the Philippines?

In 1971, sensational news spread around the world: the Tasadai tribe was found in the Philippine jungle, which had no contact with other people for thousands of years and actually lived in the Stone Age. The Philippine authorities immediately declared the territory protected in order to preserve the unique tribe for the interests of science. But in 1986, a group of journalists who illegally entered this territory stated that there was no one in the Tasadai caves, and all this was a big hoax: the primitive tribe was "played" by peasants from a village nearby. A few years later, a new refutation came out: the same "peasants" said that it was the second time they were bribed and forced to tell a lie, and the truth turned out to be neither one nor the other: the Tasadai tribe actually led a primitive lifestyle and was in isolation, but not thousands of years.

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 ... >>

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.
