Who solved a difficult math problem by mistaking it for homework?

American mathematician George Dantzig, being a graduate student at the university, one day was late for class and took the equations written on the blackboard for homework. It seemed to him more complicated than usual, but after a few days he was able to complete it. It turned out that he solved two "unsolvable" problems in statistics that many scientists struggled with.

What is Churchill angry at in his most famous photograph?

One of the most famous photographs of Churchill, depicting him sullen and angry, was taken in 1941 after his speech to the Canadian House of Commons. When Churchill was brought into the room, he told the photographer that he had two minutes and lit a cigar. At the request of the photographer to remove the cigar, the prime minister refused. Then the photographer approached Churchill under the pretext of measuring the level of light and pulled the cigar out of his mouth himself, and the Prime Minister's reaction to this impudence was just caught on camera. But then Churchill smiled and allowed another photograph to be taken, although this benevolent photograph is far less known.

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. ... >>

Smart Nanosuit 04.11.2017

Employees of CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences) presented a "smart" nanosuit. With this device, doctors will be able to monitor the patient even when he is far from the hospital.

The project is being led by the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems. The scientists plan to create a nanosuit that can record body temperature and human pressure. Relevant information can be transmitted to stationary and mobile devices.

The Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems is also working on the creation of nanotattoos, which will be patches designed to be injected into the body. Chinese specialists plan to present the corresponding development in the next 2-3 years.
