What mountains are sacred?

Mount Fuji (Fujiyama) with a height of 3776 m, the highest peak in Japan, is the holy mountain of the Shintoists. There is no other mountain in the world that has been depicted so many times in paintings, postcards, etc.

Mauna Kea in the Hawaiian Islands with a height of 4202 m is a sacred mountain for local residents. If we consider the height of this volcano from the very foot, then it is the highest peak in the world - over 10000 m. However, the foot of Mauna Kea is located below the level of the Pacific Ocean.

Olympus in Greece with a height of 2918 m was the home of the gods for the ancient Greeks. Muses lived on Parnassus (a mountain range in central Greece with a height of 2457 m).

Mount Sinai (the exact place is unknown, is identified with Mount Jabal-Sirbal in Egypt (2637 m)) is sacred to Jews and Christians. They consider this mountain to be the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments from the Lord.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Artificial biological tissue 16.09.2012

A group of researchers from Harvard University announced in the latest issue of the journal Nature Materials that they have succeeded in creating an artificial biological tissue with a three-dimensional network of electrical nanowires embedded in it and fully compatible with it.

“The current methods of interacting our devices with living systems are very limited,” says Charles Lieber, one of the lead authors of the article. “We can measure the activity of cells or tissues with electrodes, but such methods damage these tissues. With this new technology, we get the opportunity to do the same most without harming the biological system."

In fact, Harvard scientists have created an intermediate cyborg environment, a kind of nervous system made of biotissue and electronics, which can register its acidity, chemistry, oxygen content and other important characteristics in a biological environment and form a “response” if necessary.

The work began with two-dimensional structures, after which they moved on to 3D structures. On a polymer substrate, scientists grew a network of electrodes capable of measuring the electrical activity of cells using their microtransistors. Then the substrate was dissolved, and the remaining mass was something like a porous sponge. At the next stage, living tissue cells - nerve cells or heart muscle cells - were seeded into this sponge. In the end, scientists learned how to artificially create a biological tissue that has electronics in it, capable of registering electrical signals from cells located deep inside the tissue, and at the same time not damaging them in any way.

Achieving the Harvard group in the first place can radically change the situation in organ transplantation, allowing them to be grown with electronics already built into them, recording the state, reaction to drugs, etc. The scientists are now planning to do the same with blood vessel tissue.
