What role did the solar eclipse of May 28, 585 BC play in the history of the ancient peoples of Western Asia?

This solar eclipse ended the six-year war between the Lydian king Aliattes and the Median king Cyaxares for dominance in Asia Minor.

Both sides could not achieve victory and were exhausted. On that day, another battle began between the opponents. When the sun went down, and then darkness fell, the Medes and Lydians, instantly forgetting their enmity, threw down their weapons in horror.

As soon as the sun after some time again shone in the sky, they decided that it was time to stop angering the gods, and hastened to make peace.

What religion forbids any harm to any living beings?

The religious and philosophical teaching of Jainism preaches renunciation of earthly interests and non-harm to any living beings. Jain monks live in extreme asceticism, wear gauze bandages, filter their drinking water so as not to accidentally inhale or swallow some insect, and sweep the road in front of them with a special whisk so as not to crush anyone. Now there are 8 million followers of Jainism in India and other countries.

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. ... >>

Upgrading a perovskite cell with a heat-resistant organic layer 23.03.2024

A team of scientists from KAUST University in Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in the field of perovskite photovoltaic technology by creating a new monolayer of molecules with phosphonic acid as an organic layer for electron transport. This innovative approach is becoming key for future flexible perovskite solar cells due to its high efficiency and thermal stability.

Using non-fullerene semiconductors based on anthraquinone (AQ) and naphthalene diimide (NDI) molecules, the scientists created a layer that forms covalent bonds with the indium tin oxide surface, enabling efficient interaction with the perovskite material. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that these modified molecules have high thermal stability, retaining 95% of their mass at high temperatures, reaching 356°C for AQ and 268°C for NDI.

The solar cell, created on a glass substrate, has a complex structure including a Spiro-OMeTAD hole transport layer, a molybdenum oxide layer and silver contacts. Under standard lighting, the cell achieves a high power conversion efficiency of 21,5%, setting a new standard for perovskite photovoltaic cells with organic layers for electron transport.

In addition, the device has excellent electrical characteristics: open circuit voltage is 1,13 V, short circuit current density is 24,7 mA/cm2, and duty cycle is 77%. Interestingly, the cell stability remains at 90% of initial performance even after 1 hours of operation at 000°C.

The achievement is part of a global effort to improve solar technology, highlighted by recent developments in South Korea, including a black perovskite photovoltaic cell with a record solar energy conversion efficiency of 12,7% for flexible quantum dot cells.
