How many literary characters did the French writer Georges Simenon create?

The famous French writer Georges Simenon (1903-1989) created 220 novels and short stories in his life, including 84 about police commissioner Maigret.

French literary scholars published a list of characters in his works with brief information about each character. The result was a book, on more than 600 pages of which there are about 10 thousand names.

Which states wanted to extend their sovereignty to outer space over their territories?

In 1976, the equatorial states of Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Indonesia, Kenya, Uganda, Congo and Zaire signed an agreement extending their sovereignty to the part of outer space above their territories in which geostationary satellites orbit. This provision was even enshrined in the constitution of Colombia. The declaration was not recognized by either the UN or separately by any of the countries with a developed space program.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Cotton transistors 25.05.2012

An international team of researchers from France, Italy and the United States has created transistors based on cotton fiber.

To do this, a fiber consisting of a dielectric - cellulose, was covered with a conductive layer of gold nanoparticles and a thin layer of a semiconductive polymer. Ethylene glycol was applied on top to protect against moisture. The cotton fiber has become a little thicker, but has not lost its flexibility. In addition to conventional transistors, field effect transistors have also been obtained.

Cotton transistors are slower than conventional transistors, but they can be woven into fabric or even completely weaved from transistor filaments. It will turn out, for example, a T-shirt with a pulse rate or skin temperature monitor (and for the army - a tunic that signals a wounded soldier), a carpet that measures the temperature and humidity in a room or counts how many people have walked on it. In the future, a wearable computer is also possible, but it is not known whether it will be possible to wash it.
