How was the American Edison's phonograph received in France and Russia?

In 1877, American inventor and entrepreneur Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) designed the first household phonograph.

This mechanical device for recording and reproducing sound made a real sensation. Few people believed that a small cylinder with grooves on which a needle slides could reproduce a human voice. During a demonstration of the phonograph at a meeting of the Paris Academy of Sciences, the indignant academician Buyo exclaimed: "We will not allow some ventriloquist to cheat us!"

In Russia, the owner of the "talking mechanical beast" was sentenced to a large fine and three months in prison.

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 ... >>

A giant hole has appeared in the ice of Antarctica 09.10.2017

A giant hole appeared in the ice of Antarctica. Scientists say that the size of the polynya reaches 80 kilometers and call it remarkable.

This is a huge polynya, in which pieces of ice are sometimes found. A similar phenomenon was observed in the Weddell Sea in the 70s, but it was not possible to study it in detail.

Such formations can influence climate change on the planet, however, they cannot draw final conclusions in the form of a small study of the object.

Scientists believe that when the sea ice begins to melt, a serious temperature contrast appears between the ocean and the atmosphere. It can start convection, then cold water sinks to the bottom, and warm water, in turn, rises to the surface of the ocean and continues to destroy the ice.
