Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Universal molecule against all types of colds 21.05.2018

A cold is always a great inconvenience for a person. Even in the most "lightweight" version of it. Sometimes it can cause severe complications in people with chronic diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The common cold is caused by a family of viruses with hundreds of variants - no immune system can handle them all, and there is no universal vaccine against all variants. In addition, viruses evolve rapidly, which means that they can quickly become resistant to drugs. That's why most cold medicines only treat the symptoms of the infection - such as a runny nose, sore throat and fever - instead of fighting the virus itself.

But the solution is probably found. The new IMP-1088 molecule, developed by scientists at Imperial College London, targets N-myristoyltransferase, NMT, a protein found in human cells. All strains of the virus need this same human protein to make new copies of themselves. Also, the cold virus uses it to create a capsid - a geometric shell that envelops the virus's RNA genome and protects it from "enemies".

The molecule also infects other viruses associated with the common cold virus, such as polio (which causes spinal paralysis) and foot-and-mouth disease. The molecule targets the human protein rather than the virus itself, making the emergence of resistant viruses unlikely.

Previous attempts have been made to create drugs that target human cells rather than viruses, but many of them were too toxic and had side effects. Scientists have shown that the new molecule completely blocks several strains of the virus without affecting human cells. Further research is needed to make sure it is not toxic to the human body.
