Which basketball player, unwittingly, predicted the year of his death?

In 1974, basketball player Pete Maravich said in an interview: "I don't want to play in the NBA for 10 years and die of a heart attack at 40." And so it happened: in 1980, 10 years after the start of his NBA career, Maravich ended it due to an injury. And in 1988, when Pete was exactly 40 years old, he died of a heart attack during an amateur game in the gym with friends.

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. ... >>

Improved window insulation 21.12.2022

Physicists from the Polish Academy of Sciences have developed a method of thermal insulation coating for windows - stopping infrared radiation. Their idea allows to reduce the scale of heat loss through windows in winter. Savings on heating can reach several tens of percent, the developers of the solution calculated.

Windows are often the weakest link in a building's thermal insulation. Even 10-50 percent of energy is lost because of them from heating apartments, - says Bartomie Witkowski, professor at the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

How to make glass thin, transparent, strong, inexpensive - and save energy? The Polish team's method is to apply a permanent infrared filter to the glass. Professor Witkowska's team has developed a recipe for just such coatings, consisting of nano-doped zinc oxide. Window manufacturers can apply such infrared filters directly to the glass surface. But you can also make a transparent film that would be glued to the glass of finished windows.

“Up to four times less heat will escape through our coated glass than through the same uncoated glass,” said Bartomy Witkowski. "Filter glass doesn't change color - it's still transparent to the human eye.

A halogen bulb heats up a piece of black material, but the path between the bulb and the material is fast: once coated, once uncoated. - When using uncoated glass, the material heated up to 43 degrees in ten seconds, and when the glass with our coating interfered, in a minute the temperature did not exceed 30 degrees. There are already infrared filters on the market that improve the thermal insulation properties of windows. They are even used in some cars. These solutions are effective, but expensive - unprofitable in the production of windows in apartments.

Thermal insulation films for home windows are also on the market. There are two good solutions on the market that really contribute to savings. However, their disadvantage is their inconstancy and the fact that they cannot be applied to finished windows. They must be applied to the inside of the windows under controlled conditions - the access of oxygen rapidly destroys them. The thermal insulation properties of these competing films also disappear after a few years of use.

As part of the study, the research team tried to find a solution that is as effective and inexpensive to produce as commercially available films, but much more durable - does not degrade in air and can be used in finished windows.
