Why is a fake called a linden?

Linden wood is homogeneous and soft, which is why it was used in the old days for the manufacture of fake royal and princely seals. An experienced official, however, could distinguish the impression of a wooden surface from a metal one and recognize the "fake" seal. Over time, the words "linden" and "linden" began to be used to refer to any fake.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why didn't the President of the United States congratulate the four-time Olympic champion in any way?

The Olympic Games of 1936 in Berlin were supposed, according to Hitler, to prove to the whole world the superiority of German athletes and the Aryan race as a whole. These plans were broken by the American black athlete Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals in running and jumping. Hitler did not shake hands with him, although this did not concern Owens personally - the Fuhrer, in principle, refused to shake hands with winners from other countries, but after the Olympics he sent memorable letters to all of them with his photograph. But US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt did not encourage the champion in any way - neither by an invitation to the White House, nor even by a telegram.

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. ... >>

Strongest biomaterial discovered 25.02.2015

Scientists from the University of Portsmouth (UK) have found that the teeth of limpets, which are made of a mineral-protein composite, are stronger than most artificial materials.

The teeth of these mollusks consist of fibers of the iron mineral goethite, laid in a certain way in a protein base. In experiments, the researchers found that the tensile strength of teeth reaches five gigapascals, which is similar to the pressure that turns carbon into diamonds in the earth's crust. Such an outstanding result can be explained by the fineness and uniformity of mineral fibers - they are devoid of cracks and defects that weaken the structure.

In order to visualize such strength, scientists proposed to imagine pasta, on which you can hang a load of one and a half tons. The teeth of the limpets were found to be stronger than Kevlar and the web of Darwin's spiders, whose strength is 4,5 gigapascals.
