How does a snake charmer make a snake, deaf to the sounds of a pipe, dance?

The spectacled snake from the genus of cobras is absolutely deaf to the sounds of the pipe. From the outside, it may seem that the snake seems to be dancing, moving to the beat of the snake charmer's melody. In fact, it simply follows the movements of the pipe, and also reacts to the vibration that the caster creates by tapping his foot. By the way, nothing threatens the lives of Indian masters of this profession during the performance - all the poison from the cobra's teeth is removed in advance.

Where did the word hard labor come from?

Penal servitude was originally called a vessel with a triple row of oars, which appeared in the 7th century in Venice. From there it came to other countries of the Mediterranean and Europe, and in Russia it ended up under Peter I and was also called a galley. The rowers in hard labor were slaves or criminals, so the word spread to all types of punishments associated with hard work in exile.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Helmet-wearing cyclist takes more risks 13.01.2016

Psychologists from the University of Bath in the UK, Tim Gamble (Tim Gamble) and Ian Walker (Ian Walker) found that a cyclist in a helmet is 30% more likely to risk than without it. Thus, the advantages of this type of protection against injuries are practically leveled, scientists say.

The study involved 80 cyclists. Some of them received special protective helmets, the rest - ordinary caps. For the sake of clarity, the participants were not told the purpose of the experiment, they believed that it tracked the movement of their eyes while riding using special equipment on the headgear.

Using a specially designed scale, the riding strategies of all cyclists were evaluated. And it turned out that those who wore a protective helmet were 30% more likely to take risks and seek new sensations while riding a bicycle. According to psychologists, their study shows that people tend to take more risks when they feel protected by special equipment, which ultimately leads to the fact that the risk of injury remains high.
