Why was the lion Vasya killed on the set of the film Striped Flight?

To shoot the scene of the film "Striped Flight", where the sailors are dragging a sleeping lion on a stretcher from the first-aid post, it was necessary to euthanize the lion Vasya. But he did not want to take sleeping pills either just like that or with meat. And since it was the last day of filming, we decided to shoot the old and sick lion and quickly shoot the scene until he was numb.

How are hedgehogs used to count ticks?

Hedgehogs collect more ticks for their quills than any other animal. The same spiny cover prevents hedgehogs from getting rid of ticks. Specialists-parasitologists even began to use hedgehogs for quantitative accounting of ticks in natural foci of encephalitis and introduced a special unit of account "hour-hour", meaning the number of ticks collected by a hedgehog on itself in one hour of running through the forest.

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 ... >>

Pocket cinema 04.01.2003

This year, the US should begin production of a pocket device that stores up to a hundred hours of movies copied into the device's memory from the Internet or from video discs. They can be viewed on a screen with a diagonal of 10 centimeters.

The prototype of the pocket cinema was developed by Intel. The manufacturer has not yet been named, but it is already known that the cost of the device will be about $400.
