Why is the brick from which the walls of the Kremlin are built, Aristotelian?

In Russia, brick began to be used around the XNUMXth century. These were flat, very heavy slabs of various sizes. They were called plinths. Only in the XNUMXth century did a brick appear, already similar to the modern one, in the form of a bar.

The first brick kiln factory was built in 1480. At this time, the Italian architect Aristotle Fioravanti was invited to Moscow. He supervised all the works of the factory. The brick that the kiln produced was simply excellent. The Russians nicknamed it "Aristotle's brick". The walls of the Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan Kremlins, St. Basil's Cathedral are made of it.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Camera OSMO Pocket 3 30.10.2023

DJI has unveiled its latest creation, the OSMO Pocket 3 gimbal camera. This device is equipped with a 1-inch CMOS sensor capable of recording high-quality video at 10-bit resolution at 4K/120 fps.

One of the important innovations is the built-in 2-inch touch screen, which makes it easy to shoot both horizontal and vertical videos, making them ideal for viewing on a smartphone.

OSMO Pocket 3 receives a number of updated smart features, including ActiveTrack 6.0 mode, which now includes automatic face detection and dynamic framing for stable shooting in shaking conditions, which are also compensated by three-axis stabilization.

Along with the expansion of functionality, the price has also increased. In European countries, OSMO Pocket 3 is priced at 549 euros, while its predecessor, OSMO Pocket 2, is available from 379 euros.
