What holiday decorations were originally sweet and edible?

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition to shower the participants of balls, carnivals, weddings with sweets. They got the name "confetti" from the Italian word for "candied" (hence the candy also got its name). Later, they came up with the idea of replacing sweets with small pieces of paper, but the word for them - confetti - remained the same.

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. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. 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. ... >>

Movement speed record using magnetic levitation 26.04.2016

The Shanghai Maglev, the world's first commercial maglev railway line, holds the maglev continuous speed record of 431 km/h. (The one-time record for passenger trains was set in Japan last year at 603 km/h.) But the absolute record belongs to the 846 US Air Force test squadron at the Holloman Air Force Base near the city of Alamogordo (New Mexico), which is engaged in "horizontal flights" - launching special rocket sleds along various high-speed tracks.

The most famous is the 6m Holloman High Speed Test Track, which set the world rocket sled speed record of Mach 212 or 2003 m/s in 8,6. And on another track, 2 meters long, equipped with superconducting magnets, the 885 Test Squadron just set a new world record for a magnetic levitation sled - 640 km/h. Moreover, this is the second record in a row - a week earlier, testers dispersed a magnetic sled weighing 846 kg to a speed of 1018 km / h. The previous record, 907 km/h, set at the same test site, lasted more than two years.

It took military engineers six months to prepare the current record races. To ensure superconductivity, the magnets were cooled with liquid nitrogen to plus four degrees Kelvin. Despite the impressive speed, the engineers of the test squadron believe that this is not the limit. Their goal is to achieve hypersonic speeds of Mach 10 or 12 km/h, and designers are already working on using lighter materials in the sled for the next record.
