Are people able to feel the gaze directed at them?

The English biochemist Rupert Sheldrake received an affirmative answer to this question. He conducted experiments with English, American and German schoolchildren who were blindfolded and then asked to say when other participants in the experiment looked at them. It turned out that some children are able to answer correctly 90 percent of the time.

Sheldrake argues that children are particularly sensitive to the gaze of others. Perhaps they are used to the fact that someone is watching them almost constantly, and they know how to distinguish the moments when they are left without supervision. But the ability to feel someone else's gaze is also inherent in many adults, and in the experiments of an English scientist, some felt a glance directed at them through a window from a distance of 100 meters.

Some people manage to feel being watched through a mirror and even through a television camera.

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 ... >>

space cleaner 30.03.2020

The constantly developing space industry has allowed us not only to get out of the Earth and make plans for the colonization of other planets, but also strongly namokopi on the orbit of the planet. The problem is already becoming catastrophic and needs a solution.

Therefore, the European Space Agency plans to create a space cleaner Clearspace-1. If in the summer it turns out to sign a contract for the development, then already in 2025 he will be able to start and begin his duties.

The Clearspace-1 spacecraft will have to focus on removing large debris from rockets from the orbital path, as well as inoperative satellites (broken or without fuel). This is important, because in the event of a collision (and this happens), objects are crushed into hundreds and thousands of small fragments, which create a real problem (they can break through the MKC skin and are hard to catch).

The Clearspace-1 apparatus is planned to be equipped with special sensors that allow determining the location of the object, and 4 manipulators will help to capture the mucop. It is extremely important to act carefully, because objects in space rotate, and a collision with the cleaner itself may occur.

The EKA has already decided on the first "garbage" goal. She became the Vespa payload adapter. Now it rotates at an altitude of up to 800 km and was used in 201 when launching the Bega rocket.
