What writer tried to write sentences in which all words begin with different letters?

Writer Sergei Dovlatov in the last ten years of his work deliberately avoided sentences with words starting with one letter. According to him, this rule helped him discipline himself, saving him from verbosity and emptiness. The works of Dovlatov with this principle include "Suitcase", "Reserve", "Branch" and others.

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. ... >>

Processing bioplastic into biosolvent 26.05.2020

A team of scientists from the University of Birmingham has developed a fast and efficient way to convert bioplastic into a biosolvent that can be used in a wide variety of industries, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Bioplastics made from polylactic acid (PLA) are becoming more common in products such as disposable cups, packaging materials and even children's toys. As a rule, once they reach the end of their useful life, they are thrown into a landfill or composted, while the biodegradation process takes several months.

Scientists have proven that a chemical process using a zinc-based catalyst can be used to break down real consumer plastics and produce a green solvent called methyl lactate.

The scientists tested this method on three separate products - a disposable cup, some XNUMXD printer waste, and a children's toy. A cup has been found to be most easily converted to methyl lactate at lower temperatures, but even the bulkier plastic in a child's toy can be converted to a biosolvent, just at higher temperatures.

The chemical process was tested on 300 ml of this solution. The next stages of experimentation will include scaling up the production of the biosolvent so that it can be used in industrial settings.
