Which of the creations of human hands can be seen from the moon?

Minus ten points if you answered "Great Wall of China".

You can’t see any of the creations of human hands from the moon just like that, you live great.

The notion that the Great Wall of China is "the only human creation that can be seen even from the moon" is common, but at the same time they confuse the "moon" with "space".

Space is close enough to us. It starts about 100 km from the Earth's surface. Many artificial objects are visible from space: highways, ships at sea, railways, cities, crop fields, and even some individual buildings.

However, as soon as you leave the Earth's orbit, and after several thousand kilometers, not a single object of artificial origin can be seen. From the Moon - and this is more than 400 thousand km - even our continents are barely distinguishable.

So, contrary to the assurances of the popular board game Lucky Chance, there is no point on the Moon from which "only" the Great Wall of China is visible.

Which insects exhibited behavior resembling human vaccination?

If ants see that their relative has become infected with spores of a parasitic fungus, they do not isolate it, but carry out a community vaccination procedure. An infected ant transmits a small amount of spores to healthy ones, which is not enough for a full infection, but stimulates the immune system.

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. ... >>
