What kind of elaborate murder in a James Bond film is unnatural?

In the movie Goldfinger, James Bond finds his girlfriend Jill Masterson dead after being covered in gold paint. At the time the film was made, it was indeed a misconception that covering the whole person in paint would result in death by stopping breathing through the skin. The actress was painted gold, but the skin under the thong was left intact, since, again, this is the way to avoid asphyxia that was used by the dancers who painted the body. In fact, a person receives the absolute majority of oxygen through the nose and mouth, so the paint on the body cannot in any way cause suffocation. The danger may lie in the toxins contained in it, or in the fact that the paint will clog the pores and thereby cause the body to overheat.

Which language does not have the concepts of left and right?

We are accustomed to navigate in space and give directions using the words "left", "right", "forward" and "back", which is called egocentric coordinates. However, there are languages, such as the language of the Australian Aboriginal Guugu Yimitir, in which directions are indicated only by geographical coordinates - both in open areas and indoors. So, a native speaker of this language can ask for more space in the car, saying: "Move a little to the east." The Guugu Yimithirs know exactly where the cardinal directions are at any given moment and on an unconscious level. They develop this skill from infancy - the brain learns to notice natural factors and carefully memorize movements and turns, so that at the right time a person can effortlessly say the right direction.

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 ... >>

Escalator for drops 11.10.2008

Canadian physicists from the University of Toronto have created a flexible microcircuit that allows you to move the smallest droplets of liquid placed on it in the right direction, even against gravity.

The thinnest copper strips - electrodes - are deposited on the polymer substrate. Applying voltage to them alternately, it is possible to move droplets of up to 8 microliters along a vertical "wall" and up to 50 microliters along a horizontal plane and up not too steep slopes.

The invention is useful in microlaboratories for the analysis of ultra-low doses of any liquids.
