When was the Earth's gravitational field weakened?

On April 1, 1976, English astronomer Patrick Moore pranked listeners on BBC radio by announcing that at 9:47 a rare astronomical effect would happen: Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, enter into gravitational interaction with it and slightly weaken the Earth's gravitational field. If the listeners jump at this point, they must experience a strange feeling. Starting at 9:47 a.m., the BBC received hundreds of calls reporting the strange feeling, with one woman even claiming she and her friends were up from their chairs and flying around the room.

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 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. ... >>

New BMW bulbs won't need to be replaced 21.04.2014

The BMW Group is going to equip its vehicles with Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) optics, which have many advantages over the currently common LED elements. The technology being tested by the German automaker is referred to as Organic Light.

Unlike conventional LEDs, which use semiconductor chips in their construction, OLEDs use organic polymers that have the properties of semiconductors. The light is generated in thin semiconductor layers, the total thickness of which is only 40 nm, which is 150 times thinner than a human hair. The thickness of the entire OLED component does not exceed 1,5 mm.

According to BMW, Organic Light technology is characterized by high brightness and low consumption, which will allow it to be used for interior lighting and for outdoor lighting. Initially, OLED lighting is planned to be implemented in the taillights, while LEDs will remain in the turn signals and brake lights. In the future, the automaker hopes to completely switch to organic light, which, according to the developers, will not require replacement during the entire period of operation of the car.

OLED elements can take almost any shape, they do not require the installation of lenses and reflectors, which opens up great opportunities for designers and marks a new approach in automotive design. In addition, OLEDs are lighter in weight, consume less energy and emit less harmful emissions than other light sources used in the automotive market, so OLED components can be widely used in hybrid and electric vehicles.

BMW plans to start serial production of cars with organic light-emitting diodes in the next three years. In the meantime, the German company is preparing to bring to market the first production car with laser headlights. This is a hybrid sports car BMW i8, which is scheduled for release in autumn 2014.

As for OLED technology, other automotive companies are also testing it. In July 2013, it became known about the creation of the world's first three-dimensional automotive optics, which uses organic light emitting diodes. Developed by Philips and Audi. The novelty allows you to create complex "drawings" of lighting and change their transparency.
