Which of the states in the UN has the largest area and which is the smallest?

Of the UN member states, the Russian Federation has the largest territory - 17 thousand square kilometers. Russia is also the largest state in the world by area.

The smallest territory of the UN member states has the Principality of Monaco - 1,95 square kilometers. At the same time, Monaco is not the smallest state in the world in terms of territory: the state-city of Vatican City, which is not a member of the UN, has an even smaller territory. The territory of the Vatican is only 0,44 square kilometers.

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 ... >>

World's largest XNUMXD printed building 18.12.2019

Apis Cor, a XNUMXD construction printing technology company, recently completed what could be described as the world's largest 'printed' building to date. This building, located in Dubai, is the body of an administrative building, it was erected using a single three-dimensional printer, although it is worth recognizing that much of the work was done in the old fashioned way by human builders.

The two-story administrative building has a height of 9,5 meters and a total area of 640 square meters. Its construction was carried out in a completely traditional way, by squeezing a cement mixture through the nozzle of the printer, which layer by layer formed the entire structure of the building. Since the building being erected was quite large in size, the Apis Cor 3D printer was suspended in the air with a crane and could only build one separate room at a time. Because of this, the entire construction process of the building took three weeks.

A fairly large part of the work was done by builders who laid the foundation, installed windows, doors, ceilings and roofs, plus carried out all internal communications. Moreover, people manually filled with concrete those rare places where the nose of a three-dimensional printer could not reach.
