Which episode of Peppa Pig is banned in Australia?

In episode 47 of the animated series Peppa Pig, the heroes find a spider in the shell, and Peppa is scared of him until he comes to the conclusion that he can be friends. The series was banned in Australia because it was considered a bad idea to urge children not to be afraid of spiders on a continent famous for its many dangerous venomous species.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

What famous English-language literary dystopia contains many words of Russian origin?

In the dystopia A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess put into the mouths of teenage characters a jargon he invented called Nadsat. Most of the words nadsata were of Russian origin - for example, droog (friend), litso (face), viddy (see). The word Nadsat itself is formed from the ending of Russian numerals from 11 to 19, its meaning is the same as that of the word teenager ("teen-ager"). The translators of the novel into Russian faced the difficulty of how to adequately convey this slang. In one version of the translation, such words were replaced by English words written in Cyrillic (men, face, etc.). In another version, the jargon words were left in their original form in Latin letters.

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 ... >>

How a laser cuts flesh 21.12.2007

Scientists from the USA have found out that the laser cuts living tissue in different ways. A laser scalpel in the hands of a surgeon is no longer exotic. However, physicists still do not fully understand how it works.

Scientists from Vanderbilt University (USA), headed by Associate Professor Shane Hutson, tried to bring clarity. Having accepted that since the human body mostly consists of water, they conducted experiments on this substance, and then proceeded to look for differences in the interaction of a laser beam with biological tissues.

As it turned out, the infrared laser actually burns the substance, destroying its constituent molecules. At the same time, it fuses tissues, clogging blood vessels, so this laser is used during operations associated with large bleeding.

Pulsed lasers in the visible and ultraviolet ranges work quite differently: they excite not molecules, but individual electrons. Those generate real charge avalanches, forming plasma microclouds. Exploding, these clouds move apart the tissue molecules, damaging them to a lesser extent. It is no coincidence that such lasers are used during delicate operations on the eye or brain.

A special molecule, NADH, is responsible for the transfer of electrons in the cell. It easily absorbs photons in the near ultraviolet, and the electrons released as a result initiate the formation of a plasma cloud. But living tissues differ in their NADH content. For example, the cornea of the eye does not have this substance, so it behaves like a water gel under a laser scalpel.
