What Catholic priests made scientific discoveries that contradicted religious dogmas?

Among Catholics, there are many scientists who have made discoveries that directly contradicted religious dogmas. Moreover, they were not just believers, but also served as priests. The most famous such person is Nicolaus Copernicus, he served as a canon in the diocese of Warmia and became famous for his theory of the heliocentric system of the universe. The Catholic Church subsequently banned his teaching and censored his writings. Another example from the 20th century is the Belgian Georges Lemaitre, who received the rank of abbot and worked at many universities. He became the author of the theory of the expanding universe independently of the Soviet mathematician Fridman, and subsequently his reasoning formed the basis of the Big Bang theory.

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 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. ... >>

13 MP OmniVision OV13850 image sensor for mobile devices 17.11.2013

OmniVision Technologies introduced the OV13850 13MP image sensor. Combining the most advanced manufacturing process and design methods, it achieves best-in-class energy efficiency and image quality in low and high light, according to the manufacturer. The 13850 MP OmniVision OV13 image sensor is designed for smartphones and tablets.

The optical format of the OV13850 is 1/3,06 inches and the resolution is 4224 x 3136 dots. The sensor supports shooting video at a frame rate of 30 fps and the transition at any time from shooting photos to shooting video or vice versa. Shooting in 4K2K at 30 fps with electronic image stabilization is possible. In 1080p, the frame rate increases to 60 fps. If you agree to lower the frequency to 30 fps, you can shoot video with high dynamic range (HDR).

For the external design of the OV13850, a standard size for camera modules of 8,5 x 8,5 x 5 mm was chosen, which, according to the manufacturer, will simplify the transition to the OV13850 from the currently used sensors of lower resolution. Evaluation samples of the sensors are now available.

The manufacturer expects to start serial deliveries in the current quarter.
