What is the symbol in the center?

The letter "B" or the number 13?

Read the inscription

What is wrong with her?

And here?

Stroop effect. Font color and word meaning conflict

Try to name COLOUR each word, not the word itself.

Illusion President

Who is in the photo?

Former President Bill Clinton and his Vice President Al Gore, right? Wrong! There's only one Clinton with a different hair color.

What is written here?

Coca Cola? Are you sure?

Is the girl dressed?

Yes, and she hangs up a towel with dolphins.

What's in the picture?

What is above a woman's head? When scientists showed a similar sketch to people in East Africa, almost everyone said she was holding a box, or metal can, on her head. In a culture not accustomed to corners, the family is seen sitting under a tree. Westerners, by contrast, are accustomed to corners and box-like shapes in architecture. They are more likely to house the family indoors and interpret the rectangle above the woman's head as a window through which shrubbery can be seen.

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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive Boiled water is more harmful than filtered water 02.02.2020 Scientists from Zurich reported that boiled water can in some cases be more dangerous than filtered water. As a rule, heat treatment allows you to effectively get rid of pathogens and destroy microorganisms. At the same time, experts note that when boiling, chlorine precipitates and reacts with other chemicals. The result can be the formation of toxic compounds leading to the appearance of ailments. All viruses, heavy metals and other compounds do not disappear after boiling. The accumulated sediment eventually enters the human body. At high concentrations of pollutants, malaise and malfunction of various organs may occur. Constant consumption of boiled water causes the removal of various beneficial minerals from the body. It is not necessary to carry out heat treatment more than once; scale should not form in the kettle. No need to mix raw and boiled water for a new heating step. The liquid must first be cleaned of harmful elements. This is easily achieved by conventional filtering.
