Focus Description:

In the hands of a magician, the ball, it turns out, can "ride" on a rope. The performer tilts one end of the rope, then the other, and the ball obediently slides in any direction (Fig. 19).

Fig. 19

After demonstrating this several times, the performer releases one end of the rope, and catches the ball with the other hand.

Focus secret:

Of course, the ball cannot slide on the rope. To do this, you will have to take a thread, which should be slightly shorter than a piece of rope, and attach its ends to the ends of the rope.

When the performer pulls the rope, the thread is pulled at the same time. Between the rope and the thread, stick the thumbs of both hands. In the gap that has arisen between the two guides, the ball can hold and slide.

For this trick, you should take a very light ball, for example, from table tennis. One half of it is painted so that the audience can see the ball sliding along the rope. The thread must be taken strong and always black. With bright stage lighting, the black thread will not be noticeable to the audience at all.

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. ... >>

Mushrooms found to extract gold from the soil 28.05.2019

Today, Australia ranks second in the world in gold mining. However, according to experts' forecasts, the volume of the precious metal mined will decrease in the near future if researchers do not find new deposits.

An interesting approach was proposed by scientists from the State Association of Scientific and Applied Research of Australia (CSIRO). They suggest using ... mushrooms to search for precious metal deposits.

In the course of the new work, experts found that filamentous fungi called Fusarium oxysporum are literally gold-bearing. Scientists have found that if you look at these fluffy mushrooms under a scanning electron microscope, you can see that their threads are "encrusted" with gold nanoparticles.

For research, the team collected colonies of fungi that grow on soils near the Boddington mine in western Australia, where gold and copper are mined.

Geochemical and other analyzes have shown that Fusarium sharpspore collects gold through chemical reactions that involve underground minerals. By producing superoxides, the fungus oxidizes the collected gold and then produces another chemical that causes the dissolved gold to solidify around the filaments.

It is not yet known exactly what role the gold "extracted" by it plays in the life of the fungus. However, experiments have shown that Fusarium sharpspore grows and spreads faster in an environment where this noble metal is present.

According to the team, this discovery could play a key role in the search for new gold deposits.

In the future, experts intend to find out whether the extensive colonies of these fungi are a sign of the presence of gold under the earth's surface.

Fusarium ostrosporovy, by the way, is widespread. Therefore, if the assumption of scientists is confirmed, a new way to search for the precious metal using "mushroom beacons" is likely to help increase gold mining around the world.
