What did Sofya Kovalevskaya sacrifice for the opportunity to do science?

In order to be able to do science, Sofya Kovalevskaya had to enter into a fictitious marriage and leave Russia. At that time, Russian universities simply did not accept women, and in order to emigrate, a girl had to have the consent of her father or husband. Since Sophia's father was categorically against it, she married a young scientist Vladimir Kovalevsky. Although in the end their marriage became actual, and they had a daughter.

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. ... >>

Television and astronomers 11.06.2010

For American astronomers, there was a respite: with the transition of television in the United States to digital broadcasting, radio frequencies in the range of 700-800 megahertz, previously occupied by analog television programs, were temporarily released.

It is on these waves that we can expect the discovery of new galaxies that arose at a time when the Universe was half as young as it is now. In addition, experts hope to find signals from new pulsars, neutron stars, periodically emitting radio waves in the freed range.

To use the opportunities that have opened up, a new radio receiver has already been mounted on a huge radio telescope in Arecibo (Puerto Rico). True, the respite will last only about a year: the released frequencies are sold at auctions to mobile operators and other interested parties.
