Which Moscow monument has 5 spelling errors in the inscription at once?

In 1992, in Moscow, as part of the celebration of the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, a monument was erected to Cyril and Methodius, who are traditionally credited with the creation of the Cyrillic alphabet. The inscription on the pedestal is made in Old Slavonic and reads: "To the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Slavic First Teachers Methodius and Cyril. Grateful Russia." Later, linguists immediately discovered 5 spelling errors, including 2 errors in the word "Russia".

Why is Friday the 13th considered an unlucky day?

This superstition has biblical roots. On Friday, the serpent tempted Eve, forced her to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. On Friday, the Savior, Jesus Christ, was crucified on the cross. The last time 13 people were present at the Last Supper, it was the 13th, Judas, who betrayed the Savior.

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 ... >>

42 V car batteries 22.09.2000

To ensure high efficiency of the car in the future, the engineers of the German company Varta are developing new batteries designed for the on-board network with a voltage of 42 V.

This need arose due to the growing number of devices and units powered by the on-board electrical network. The lead-acid batteries commonly used can hardly cope with such a load, and the standard voltage of the on-board network (12 V) is sometimes insufficient.

The main focus is on lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride systems with increased durability, high capacity and the ability to charge in a forced mode.
