How many times larger is the largest US state than the smallest?

The largest US state of Alaska has an area of 1 square kilometers, the smallest - Rhode Island - 593 square kilometers. Thus, the largest US state in terms of territory is 444 times larger than the smallest.

Interestingly, the population of the state of Alaska (626 people) is 932 times less than the population of the state of Rhode Island (1 people) (as of 048).

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why was the great Hercules forced to obey the insignificant Eurystheus?

The culprit of this absurdity was Ata - the eldest daughter of Zeus, whose mother was the goddess of discord Eris. Ata was also a goddess - she personified instant madness, clouding the mind and bringing misfortune to a person (or misfortune itself, caused by clouding of the mind).

While waiting for the birth of Hercules at Alcmene, Zeus, whose mind was darkened by Ata, boasted that the born mortal would rule the noble family of Perseus. Hearing these words, Hera demanded a promise from Zeus that the one who was born in the family of Perseus before dark would become the supreme king. When Zeus gave this unbreakable oath, Hera immediately went to Mycenae and hastened the birth of Nikippa, the wife of King Sthenelus. Then she hurried to Thebes and squatted at the door of Alcmene, with her clothes tied in knots, her legs crossed, and her hands tightly clasped. So she delayed the birth of Hercules until the seven-month-old son of Sthenelus lay down in the cradle.

According to another version, Hera entrusted the task of changing the birth date of Nicippa and Alcmene to her daughter Ilithyia, the goddess of childbirth. One way or another, but the great Hercules, who was born an hour later, turned out to be dependent on the insignificant Eurystheus. Upon learning of this, Zeus went into an indescribable rage. Grabbing Ata, because of which he fell for the trick of Hera, he swore that he would never allow her to Olympus, and then threw her to the ground. Since then, Ata has lived among people, bringing them a lot of grief and disaster.

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 ... >>

Miniature neural networks of the brain are grown 09.07.2019

Researchers from Japan have obtained functional neural networks from cerebral organelles. Although organoids cannot actually "think", these networks can be used as a model for studying brain function and the development of neurological diseases.

Cerebral organoids are artificially grown three-dimensional tissue cultures that resemble the human brain and can mimic its development. To get them, scientists have created a "ball" of pluripotent stem cells that can develop into various tissues of the body. They then placed the cells in a petri dish filled with nutrient material that mimicked the environment needed for brain development. Using organoids, the team successfully visualized synchronized and unsynchronized actions throughout the neural network and in the connections between individual neurons.

The researchers also developed a tool to assess the complex dynamic change in network activity in the detected area. He allowed to track the activity of more than 1000 cells. The new method could help scientists understand the processes by which information is encoded in the brain through the activity of certain cell types, as well as the fundamental mechanisms that underlie mental illness.

As the first author of the study, Jun Takahashi, a professor at Kyoto University, noted, applied research on organoids will find applications in three main areas in the future: drug discovery, modeling neuropsychiatric disorders, and regenerative medicine.
