Focus Description:

For the trick you will need a table knife and a matchbox. Take the matchbox so that one of its narrow side faces is at the bottom.

Slide the knife in from the top side edge as if it were cutting the box from the top to its center, and start moving the knife as the arrow shows. The box shouldn't actually slide through the table knife, but you can do it.

Focus secret:

Table knife - the most common. The tricky device has a matchbox. Firstly, a box filled with matches has a rectangular recess near the narrow upper side face, half the length of the matchbox, and this recess is removed from the sulfur heads of the matches in the box.

Secondly, the matchbox case has a slot where the knife enters. This slot extends from the center of the narrow upper side face to the center of the case.

Focus Tricky Device box

This trick looks especially impressive if it is demonstrated at a fairly fast pace.

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. ... >>

Rotating neutron stars to test and calibrate atomic clocks 06.01.2019

We have repeatedly talked about atomic clocks, which provide high-precision time reading, on the pages of our website. And, of course, many of our readers have repeatedly wondered how the values of the characteristics of these watches were obtained, because in order to measure something with a certain accuracy, a measuring tool with at least an order of magnitude higher accuracy is required. We do not know how other organizations that have atomic clocks at their disposal, but the European Space Agency uses the signals of distant rotating neutron stars and pulsars to synchronize their clocks, the signals emitted by which have sufficiently high stability and accuracy.

This project, called "PulChron", is the development of scientists from the University of Manchester, the British National Physical Laboratory and private company GMV. The system created during this project is already partly used to synchronize the atomic clocks that power the European Galileo satellite navigation system. Moreover, long-term measurements of pulsar signals, combined with measurements of vibrations of vibrating atoms in clocks, make it possible to obtain even more accurate timing than either of the components of the system separately allows.

Physicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell first discovered a pulsar in 1967 when she noticed a radio signal coming from deep space with a period of 1,34 seconds. Note that this signal was received by the antennas of the Interplanetary Scintillation Array telescope of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. At present, it is already known that pulsars are neutron stars, small and very dense remnants of the explosions of massive stars, which rotate at times at great speed and emit a directed beam of radiation that is periodically directed towards the Earth.

Now pulsars, or rather their signals, are used not only to synchronize atomic clocks. They are also tools to search for and measure gravitational waves, dark matter, and other phenomena on a cosmological scale.

The PulChron equipment receives data from five radio telescopes, including the European Pulsar Timing Array, which track 18 pulsars simultaneously. Atomic clocks also generate their own frequency, one period of which is one "tick" of the clock. But relatively simple atomic clocks based on hydrogen atoms excited by a microwave laser can drift (change their frequency) over long periods of time. And in this case, another system with higher stability is required to carry out the correction, for example, the Galileo system clock requires a synchronization and correction procedure every few hours.

The PulChron system is not the first "pulsar" chronometric system; moreover, it still exists in its first, one might say, demo version. But once this system is operational in its final form, it will be used not only to power the satellite navigation system, but also to measure the exact value of the Greenwich meridian time (Coordinated Universal Time, UTC).
