Take a sheet of dry newsprint and place it on the tile. Rub it vigorously with a dry hair brush. The paper will adhere tightly to the tile. Do this experiment in the dark and try, taking one corner of the newspaper, gradually tear off part of the sheet from the tile.

You will hear a crackle, and rather large electrical sparks will begin to jump between the stove and the newspaper.

The experiment works well if the brush and newspaper are dry, rubbing is carried out vigorously, and silk threads or ribbons are tied or glued to the edges of the newspaper so that it is convenient to tear it off and for insulation.

To a highly electrified newspaper, half-separated from the tile, bring the tips of open scissors or fingers. You will see sparks jumping for a considerable distance, several centimeters.

The points of the scissors are crowned with bundles of blue-red threads. There will be a long hiss. Your fingers will feel a slight tingle.

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. ... >>

Wireless TV 23.12.2004

Wireless technologies are increasingly entering our lives.

Wireless TVs are now being added to wireless peripherals and acoustics. Just such a TV was announced by LG.

Apart from the lack of wires, the TV is a regular LCD TV with a diagonal of 15 inches. The package also includes a special docking station, to which all the wires are connected - for example, from a DVD player or any other video signal source. Accordingly, the docking station broadcasts the signal that the TV receives.

The weight of the TV is only 4 kg, so even the fairer sex can carry it from room to room.
