How does a snake manage to swallow a pig?
Unlike many other animals, snakes are not able to chew (or even dismember) food before it is "used", and therefore are forced to swallow their prey whole.
To do this, nature endowed them with the ability to greatly stretch the oral cavity when swallowing large prey. And this ability is provided by the connection of the bones of the facial part of the skull, not according to the "hinged" scheme, as in most animals and humans, but with the help of elastic ligaments.

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 ... >>
Random news from the Archive Solar power plant on a roll
03.02.2005
In one of the works of the now forgotten Soviet science fiction writer Vladimir Nemtsov, a "solar fabric" appeared - a flexible solar battery made of semiconductor filaments that could be folded, cut, cut and sewn together.
Something similar is already produced by the American company "IOP Technologies". These are flexible, rollable solar panels of different power - from 5 to 40 watts, they all give a voltage of 16,5 volts and are designed to charge batteries of various portable electronics - from a mobile phone to a laptop or a small TV.
The most powerful of the batteries weighs about 1700 grams.
