If you have a tray with a perfectly smooth bottom, you can make this an interesting experience. Turn the tray over and place a hard-boiled egg on its bottom. Drive the tray in a circle, speeding up and speeding up the rotation. An egg lying in the middle of the bottom will be carried away by this movement and will begin to rotate around its own axis faster and faster. Little by little it will rise and stop at one end, spinning like a top.

Dancing egg

In order to better succeed in this experiment, the egg must be boiled with cunning. It should not lie in the pan, but stand upright in it. This can be achieved, for example, by putting a wire spiral on the egg, expanding downwards. The fact is that under the shell at the blunt end the egg has an air chamber. When cooking in a vertical position, this chamber will be located exactly along the axis of the egg, so that during the experiment it will be easier to achieve balance.

If you still can't get the egg to dance across the tray, here's a trick to make the experience easier. Lay the tray on the table so that the edge protrudes and can be picked up immediately. Place the egg in the middle, holding it with the thumb of the left hand and the index finger of the right. With a quick movement of your hands, make the egg rotate. Then pick up the tray and keep the egg spinning with gentle pushes.

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. ... >>
