What poet kept many animals, among which were a bear, a crocodile and an eagle?

Lord Byron was very fond of animals. While studying at Cambridge, he was faced with a ban on keeping dogs in rooms and decided to get a bear cub. Since bears were not mentioned in the ban, the university could do nothing about this fact. Throughout his life, Byron's pets included a fox, a badger, a crocodile, an eagle, a crane, and a heron.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

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 ... >>

Smart Refrigerator LG Smart InstaView 09.01.2017

LG Electronics (LG) has unveiled its Smart InstaView refrigerator running the webOS operating system.

The main feature of the novelty is a giant touch screen with a diagonal of 29 inches, mounted in one of the doors. In addition, there is a Wi-Fi wireless adapter for connecting to the Internet.

Through the screen, you can view recipes, leave notes for family members, make a to-do list and set reminders. Implemented support for Amazon Alexa voice assistant.

Inside the refrigerator is a 2-megapixel camera with ultra wide-angle optics. The image from it can be displayed on the screen, which allows you to "look" inside Smart InstaView without opening the door. In addition, pictures from the camera can be sent to a mobile device.

The novelty is made in accordance with the Door-in-Door concept ("door-in-door"): it provides for an additional door, discreetly built into the main door. This makes it easier to access the most frequently needed products, and also helps to reduce the loss of cold air from the main refrigerator compartment. In addition, Door-in-Door technology helps keep food fresh for much longer by reducing temperature fluctuations.
