Who lived on Olympus, and who lived on Parnassus?

Two Greek mountains served as the abode of mythical creatures. But if the gods lived on Olympus (they were called so - the Olympians), then Parnassus was considered the abode of the muses. Remember Pushkin!

When did the world find itself on the brink of a nuclear war due to technical errors?

During the Cold War, there were many cases when the world was on the verge of a nuclear war due to incorrect readings of missile launch detection systems. For example, in 1979, an alarm was raised in the United States due to the fact that a training program for a massive nuclear strike was mistakenly loaded on one of the computers. However, the satellites did not detect missile launches, and the alarm was cancelled. And in 1983, the Soviet satellite detection system failed, transmitting a signal about the launch of several American missiles. Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov, sitting on the console, took it upon himself to not pass information on to the country's top leadership, deciding that the United States was unlikely to launch a first strike with such a small force. In 2006, the UN awarded Petrov as "the man who prevented a nuclear war."

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. ... >>

Little Wi-Spy Scout 30.06.2006

The young company MetaGeek (Idaho, USA) has released the world's smallest and most inexpensive spectrum analyzer.

Wi-Spy is no bigger than a USB storage device, weighing just 8g and costing less than $5, 100 times less than the nearest competitor. The spectrum analyzer can find noise-free portions of the spectrum in the frequency range from 40 to 2 GHz and solve problems associated with cordless phones, Bluetooth and ZigBee devices, 4b/g networks, and other wireless systems that use this frequency range. .

The analyzer with built-in antenna and trigger connects to a USB 1.1 or 2.0 port on a Windows, Linux, or Mac host computer and scans the entire operating frequency range in 96 ms at 1 MHz and 1 dBm resolution. The control and display software is supplied with the analyzer and provides a spectral display of the measured data in various coordinates (amplitude, frequency, time).

Other features of the device include analysis of the average, maximum and current signal level; frequency and amplitude markers; viewing the amplitude of Wi-Fi channels; recording and playback; copying and printing of measured data.
