Who was the first to write nursery rhymes?

There is hardly a child who does not know "Ladushki" or "A horned goat is coming" by heart. We call them nursery rhymes or rhymes. In England they are called Mother Goose poems. This nickname, Mother Goose, first appeared in the collection of fairy tales by the French writer Charles Perrault, which was published in 1697. But perhaps it was known before, as they could call, for example, village storytellers.

The Boston publisher Thomas Flip published a book in 1719 entitled Songs for Children, or Mother Goose's Melodies of Children. But not a single copy of this book has been found.

Most of the poems that later turned into children's poems were not originally intended for children at all. In the XNUMXth century, adults in England sang ballads, madrigals, and odes. Mothers sang these same works to their children, and these songs turned into children's songs. Children memorized refrains or some phrases and sang them in their own way.

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 ... >>

Print meat in space 26.08.2019

3D Bioprinting Solutions will send rabbit and cow meat cells into space in September and try to print a steak out of them. This technology is needed to feed astronauts in orbit during very long flights.

The launch of an experiment in space to print meat is scheduled for the ISS on September 25. In September, cells obtained from the gums of a rabbit will be delivered to orbit, as well as cow cells, from which they will try to print meat. Now these cells are undergoing pre-flight tests.

Space-printed meat is much more expensive than regular meat. A kilogram of specially grown cells, from which a conditional steak is printed on a bioprinter, cost more than 2011 million pounds back in 1, excluding the cost of printing. Now the price of a printed kilogram of meat is about $10.

If on Earth no one needs a kilogram of meat for that kind of money, then for space it is cheap. Delivering food to astronauts into orbit is very expensive. Most of the cargo of spacecraft is food, and lifting one kilogram of cargo into orbit costs an average of $40-50 thousand.
