Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why was the grandiose Egyptian temple of Abu Simbel moved to a new location for 4 years?

In 1960, the construction of a second dam on the Nile near Aswan began in Egypt, as a result of which the unique temples of Abu Simbel, built in a sandstone rock during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II, could be flooded. An international group of specialists under the auspices of UNESCO decided to move these monuments to a new location 200 meters further from the river, for which the temples were cut into blocks weighing up to 30 tons and transported. The operation lasted from 1964 to 1968 and was recognized as one of the largest engineering and archaeological projects in history.

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 ... >>

LG's first wall-mounted projector 28.10.2005

LG has released the original multimedia projector AN110. A distinctive feature of the device is that it can be hung on the wall.

This is a fairly compact device, whose dimensions in length, width and height are only 443x254x92 mm. The declared performance characteristics of the devices are impressive. The "native" resolution of the projector is 1280x768 pixels, the contrast ratio is 3000:1, the noise level is very low - about 25 dB.

The MTBF of the projector lamp is 4000 hours.
