Who is Leonardo da Vinci?

Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most remarkable people who ever lived. Probably no person in history has achieved as much in various fields as this person has done. Leonardo lived from 1452 to 1519. He was an outstanding painter, sculptor, and architect, and he also designed bridges, roads, weapons, suits, and scientific instruments.

Leonardo invented the submersible and designed the flying machine, although they could not be built from the materials of the time. He made important discoveries regarding the structure of the human body. Leonardo treated science and art from the same positions. After studying the problem, he made many sketches to find the best solution. Leonardo did not see the difference between the design of the mechanism and painting, he became an expert in all areas of interest to him.

When Leonardo was twenty years old, he was already a recognized master among artists. His work had a great influence on other artists because he was always looking for something new, such as the use of chiaroscuro distribution, a technique for creating contrasts between light and shadow.

One of Leonardo's greatest works, The Last Supper, was painted in Milan. Although this is one of the world's masterpieces, nevertheless, in fact, it was an unsuccessful experiment. Working slowly, Leonardo painted in oils on damp plaster. As a result, the painting began to deteriorate, and today its condition inspires serious concern. Leonardo was interested in studying the human body, he performed an autopsy of corpses to find out how the main parts of the body are connected. He also made many discoveries in the field of biology. Probably the most famous painting in the world - "Mona Lisa" - was painted by Leonardo in Florence.

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 ... >>

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. ... >>

Synchronization of the on-board computer of the car with the iPhone and Apple Watch 22.06.2015

Honda Motor Company announced the introduction of a new intelligent service Road Hints, which will link the car's navigation system with the owner's mobile devices.

Through a special application, iPhone owners will be able to receive information about "points of interest" (restaurants, hotels, etc.) in accordance with the current location of the vehicle and (or) a given route. In this case, the data search radius will be 5 kilometers.

In addition, an application for smart watches Apple Watch will be released. With its help, users will be able to remotely check the fuel level in the tank and its average consumption, the distance that the car can travel without refueling, and other parameters of on-board systems.

In parallel with support for the latest Apple mobile devices, Honda is introducing intelligent adaptive cruise control. The i-ACC (Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control) complex works on the basis of a standard adaptive cruise control: a camera and radar installed in the front of the car constantly monitor the situation on the road, transmitting data to the on-board computer.

Special software analyzes the information received and predicts the possible behavior of nearby vehicles. If the system decides that a vehicle in an adjacent lane is ready to change lanes, the brakes will be applied in advance.
