Which writer died of pseudonym cancer?

In the 1970s, American publishers found it undesirable for authors to publish more than one book a year. Stephen King, who wanted to publish more, began to write some works under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. In 1984, a bookstore clerk suspected a similarity in the authors' literary styles and discovered a record in the Library of Congress that King was the author of one of Bachman's novels, notifying King's publishers of his find. The writer himself called this seller and offered to write a revealing article, agreeing to an interview. It resulted in a press release announcing the death of Richard Bachman from "pseudonym cancer".

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

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. ... >>

Apple hydrogen battery 17.03.2015

Apple has been granted US Patent #8980491 for a "portable hydrogen fuel cell system" that can run iPhones and iPads for "days and even weeks" on a single charge.

According to the patent, Apple's fuel cell is an external device designed to power portable electronics. It contains a fuel cartridge that "converts fuel to electrical energy", a control unit, an interface for transmitting energy to a mobile device, and a bi-directional communication line for exchanging technical information with the device. The external design of the device is explained by its dimensions.

Apple suggests using liquid hydrogen or its compounds as a fuel: a combination of sodium borohydride, sodium silicate, lithium hydrate, magnesium hydride, lithium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride with water.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts raw materials (fuel) into electric current. The peculiarity of the element is that the fuel on which it operates can be loaded from the outside in portions, as it is consumed. In a hydrogen cell, current is generated during a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen from the air.

"Recently, electronics manufacturers have begun to pay more attention to the development of renewable energy sources, including portable fuel cells. Hydrogen-based fuel cells have a number of advantages. They allow you to get a high energy density per unit volume, which allows portable electronics to operate for days and even weeks without recharging the element," the inventors explained.

At the same time, developers have recognized that developing a fuel cell that is compact enough to be placed directly in the portable electronic device itself is a rather difficult task today. Another challenge is to make such a fuel cell inexpensive.

A similar technology has long been used in the aerospace industry to power spacecraft. In the consumer electronics market, fuel cells have received increased attention due to the growth in power consumption of devices.
