Comments on the article
Focus Description:
Hold an unlit candle in your hand. Light a match and toss it high up. At the moment when the burning match, falling, will fly past the candle, you must have time to touch it with the candle wick. That will be enough - the candle will light up!
Focus secret:
Contact with a burning match is only necessary to give the impression that you lit the candle in this way. In fact, at the moment of contact between the match and the candle, you just lit the lighter, mounted in the hollow body of the candle, with the flame visible from the outside.

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. ... >>
Random news from the Archive Artificial sperm created
12.03.2016
Biologists from Nanjing University in China have created artificial sperm.
Usually artificial spermatozoa are grown from stem cells, but Chinese scientists have invented a more promising way. In the laboratory, they managed to create spermatids - male germ cells of one of the final stages of formation. They are absolutely functional, but lack a swimming tail and can only fertilize an egg in vitro. With the help of this biomaterial, scientists obtained healthy offspring from several dozen female mice.
The production of artificial sperm required meticulous work from biologists. They took embryonic male mouse cells and exposed them to cytokines ("information" molecules) to develop into sex cells. The cells were then placed in a nutrient medium similar to male testicles and exposed to testosterone.
The resulting material fully complied with the "gold standard" for artificial sperm, defined by a group of reproductive scientists in 2014. Its main criteria are the absence of cellular mutations at each stage of formation, the correct set of chromosomes and the composition of DNA.
As always, the question of the ethics of such experiments remains open. Artificial sperm does not go through all the natural stages of cellular formation and it is not known how children conceived in this way will develop. In addition, spermatids are selected in the testicles - the body determines which of them are best suited for reproduction. This is not possible under laboratory conditions. Be that as it may, experiments to create artificial sperm are being carried out in many countries of the world and give hope to thousands of infertile men.
