You may have thought that your learned bird lives only in someone else's mind? Nothing happened! Put the magnet away and watch what the goose does. He will, of course, freeze in one place. But try turning it with its beak in the other direction. Look, he's turning back! If you have not yet removed the number ring from the bowl, you will easily notice that the goose will turn exactly in the same direction. Its beak will be looking at the same number as before. And so three times, and five, and ten, and as many times as you like. The beak will continue to point in the same direction, “as if magnetized.”

Let's assume that you and I know that it is indeed magnetized. But where is the second magnet, the pole of which the beak points towards? Did you take this magnet? And yet there is such a magnet. It affects both our goose and any other magnet in the world. This magnet is our planet, our native Earth!

Every magnet is a compass. Give it the opportunity to turn freely - and it will point with one pole to the north. They agreed to call this pole the north pole. And the other pole will point south. It was called the south pole of the magnet.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Isolation experiment to simulate life on Mars 01.09.2015

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced the start of another isolation experiment to simulate flight and life on Mars.

This time, six volunteers - three men and three women - will spend exactly one year away from civilization. They will live and work in a specially equipped module, which is a dome with a diameter of 11 meters and a height of 6 meters. Each of the team members has their own small room with a bed and a desk.

The dome is mounted near the dormant Mauna Loa volcano in the Hawaiian Islands. This area was not chosen by chance: local landscapes vaguely resemble the Martian landscape - there is practically no vegetation around, and large animals bypass this area.

The team included an astrobiologist from France, a physicist from Germany, and a pilot, architect, medical/journalist and soil scientist from the United States. During the isolation experiment, participants will only be able to leave the module in space suits. The diet will be sublimated and canned foods. Communication with the outside world will take place over the Internet with limited access.

It is expected that the experiment will help in the study of medical and psychological problems that the crew of the ship may encounter during the flight and stay on the Red Planet.
