What was the first human invention to break the sound barrier?

The characteristic click after a whip is due to the fact that its tip moves at supersonic speed. A similar effect occurs when an airplane flies at a speed greater than the speed of sound: from the shock wave created by it, the observer can hear a loud sound, similar to an explosion. However, it is the whip that can be recognized as the first human invention to break the sound barrier.

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 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.

Tanker on a leash at the kite 02.08.2003

Hamburg businessman Stefan Wrage proposes to use a kite for navigation.

A hundred years ago, in 1903, a French athlete crossed the English Channel in a boat pulled by a kite, and these days the kite can be high-tech. The enemy intends to make an inflatable kite the size of a football field, filled with helium.

At an altitude of 500 meters, with a suitable wind, it will develop a thrust of up to 30 tons, which will make it possible to pull a tanker, container ship or liner on a strong synthetic rope. The kite will be controlled by a computer.

Such a kite will cost about one million euros, but due to fuel savings, it will save up to 14 thousand euros daily. The system should be ready by 2005.
