What is the fastest growing plant?

The fastest growing plant is bamboo (Bambusa). Its growth rate can reach 75 centimeters per day.

Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta), growing in New Guinea, is considered the record holder for the fastest growth among trees. For 1 year and 3 months, he grew by 10,6 meters.

Which fruit was formerly known as the Chinese gooseberry?

The symbol of New Zealand - the kiwi fruit - was brought there from China and was nicknamed the Chinese gooseberry. When New Zealanders began exporting it to the US in the 1950s, the name was unacceptable due to the Cold War and heavy duties on the berries. Then the name "kiwifruit" was coined in honor of another symbol of the country - the kiwi bird. Since kiwifruit has been registered as a trademark, other exporting countries simply call it kiwifruit.

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. ... >>

Cheap way to produce nanoparticles 28.08.2012

The unfortunate experience of students at the University of Central Florida led to an unexpected discovery that the pharmaceutical industry has long been waiting for. PhD students Soroush Shabakhang and Joshua Kaufman have found a way to mass-produce nanoparticles cheaply, which could revolutionize drug manufacturing.

The essence of the discovery is the use of heat to separate thin fibers into identical nanoparticles. Heat simply separates the molten fibers into spherical droplets - like water dripping from a faucet. The discovery was made by chance: scientists have been looking for a way to create ultra-pure glass fiber for optical cables for many years. The students melted and stretched fiberglass in the course of routine ruin experiments, but noticed that instead of a thin, perfect fiberglass cable, microscopic spheres were obtained.

This new non-chemical method allows you to create a large number of identical particles of any size. Thus, for the first time, nanotechnologies can be launched into mass production. In the near future, scientists are going to use the new technology to create nanoparticles capable of delivering drugs. In particular, one of the most promising areas is the creation of particles capable of delivering drugs that kill certain cancer cells.

At the same time, a group of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is developing "blanks" for a new technology - special fibers, from which nanoparticles with desired characteristics will be obtained. It is already known that nanoparticles consisting of several materials, as well as hollow spherical nanoparticles, can be created using a new non-chemical method. In addition, additional materials can be attached to the nanospheres, resulting in the production of particles with a complex internal structure. Such particles can be used in various fields. In medicine, theoretically, they can be used to produce vaccines and "targeted" drugs that attack certain pathogens.
