What is the Red Planet?

This is the name of Mars for its reddish color. The surface of Mars is a red-brown rocky landscape, over which strong dust storms rage from time to time.

The temperature on the surface during the day rises slightly above zero (at the equator), and at night it drops below -100°C.

Why is electricity called electricity?

The Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus noticed in about 600 BC that pieces of resin found on the shores of the Baltic Sea (which we call amber, and the ancient Greeks called electron), if rubbed against a piece of fur or wool, acquire the ability to attract feathers, threads or fluff.

Therefore, more than a thousand years later, the English physicist William Gilbert (1544-1603) proposed calling this force of mutual attraction electricity, introducing this term to science for the first time. Hilbert also found that, in addition to amber, other materials, such as glass, have a similar property.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy.

The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Rebirth of the Woolly Mammoth 11.12.2023

Researchers from Colossal Sciences have made breakthroughs, finding 99,6% genetic similarity between woolly mammoths and Asian elephants. This discovery encourages the use of Asian elephants as surrogate mothers to revive this ancient species.

Restoring woolly mammoths is not just a scientific fantasy, but a serious research project that requires not only innovative cloning technologies, but also careful management of their new environment. Partnerships with elephant conservation organizations highlight not only the scientific significance, but also the importance of this endeavor in the context of ecosystem conservation and biodiversity maintenance. If successful, this could open a new chapter in the history of endangered species conservation and represent an important step in the understanding and application of modern technologies in conservation.

The researchers' plans include transplanting mammoth embryos into Asian elephants in 2026, with hopes of delivering the first baby mammoth in 2028 after a 22-month gestation period.

Once born, the baby mammoths will be transported to vast habitats in areas above the Arctic Circle, starting in Alaska and Canada. The first generations will live in controlled conditions, under the supervision of caring teams. When the mammoths grow up and become independent, they will be moved to a more “wild” environment.

Colossal Sciences, having invested many years of research and millions of dollars, says it is well ahead of the work on the revival of mammoths.

To successfully implement the project, the company has partnered with elephant conservation organizations and is conducting veterinary research to ensure that woolly mammoths are immune to the viruses that threatened their ancestors.
