Focus Description:

The magician - a fabulous switchman - has a small bag or envelope in his hands. He takes out a red spatula from there - a semaphore, raises it above him, showing it to all spectators, and says:

- Red light! Stop all locomotives! The passage is closed!

He lowers the semaphore - a spatula into an envelope and immediately takes out another, yellow one.

- Attention! By wagons! Citizens seeing off, please vacate the cars!

He lowers this semaphore also into a bag - an envelope and takes out the long-awaited green semaphore, giving a joyful command:

- Go!

And gently blows the whistle. And this semaphore is thrown by the magician into the envelope. He takes out the fourth, and he is ... blue. Amayak! Well, why do we need a blue semaphore? How is this why? The carriages of our magical train are as blue as the clear sky.

- I'll probably keep this little blue traffic light for myself. - With these words I put the semaphore in the pocket of my trousers. And I give the envelope to the audience.

They look in there, but, to their surprise, they do not find anything there.

Focus secret:

In reality, you only have to make one semaphore. And the audience will probably think that you have four traffic lights in the envelope. It should be made of thick cardboard - unbreakable.

Glue multi-colored paper circles on each side - a red circle, yellow, green and blue.

Put your magical traffic light into a bag in advance. When you take it out, show everyone only one side, hiding the lower part in a clenched fist. This should be done very carefully so that the audience does not expose you and guess what our secret is. Putting a red traffic light, discreetly turn it over inside the envelope. Now there is an opportunity to show everyone the yellow traffic light. The train continues on without stopping. We follow the plot: yellow, coup - green, coup, somersault, hop - blue.

The next stop is applause.

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. ... >>

Selenide phonon 15.12.2015

Thermoelectrics are materials that convert heat into electricity. To do this, it is necessary that one side of such a material be significantly warmer than the other, that is, it must conduct heat poorly, and electricity well. Usually these two properties are related: the higher the thermal conductivity, the higher the conductivity, and vice versa. Tin selenide is considered a promising material among thermoelectrics: both properties of it turned out to be disconnected. Why is not clear.

To unravel this mystery, researchers from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy, led by Oliver Delaret, used a supercomputer to build models, and a neutron source from the Oak Ridge reactor - from the pattern of scattering of neutrons passed through the sample, one can follow the vibrations of the crystal lattice. They are the main ones in this matter: it is the quanta of such vibrations - phonons - that transfer heat in a solid, and electrons are scattered on them.

Usually atoms vibrate harmonically - with equal amplitude in each direction from the lattice site. Such harmonic phonons travel without interaction. But if anharmonicity appears - in one direction with each vibration the atom deviates more strongly than in the other, then the phonons begin to interact and get stuck in each other. As it turned out, tin selenide exhibits very strong anharmonicity of vibrations at temperatures below 810°C: the lattice behaves like accordion bellows. Because of this, phonons quickly get stuck and cannot provide temperature equalization.

Thermoelectrics are the most important material of the 60st century: it is believed that with their help it will be possible not only to create silent, economical refrigerators or elements for utilizing the heat of the Sun, but also to collect those XNUMX% of the heat that devices created by man senselessly dissipate in the environment. The instability of the tin selenide lattice suggests which direction should be taken when optimizing such materials.
