How many times is the temperature of a thermonuclear reaction higher than the temperature of the visible surface of the Sun?

The temperature of the visible surface of the Sun is about 6 thousand degrees Kelvin. In the center of the Sun, where a thermonuclear reaction takes place (the transformation of hydrogen nuclei into helium), the temperature, according to modern concepts, reaches values of about 15 million degrees.

Thus, the temperature of a thermonuclear reaction is approximately 2,5 thousand times higher than the temperature of the visible surface of the Sun.

By what accident did Louis Pasteur discover vaccination?

One of the most important steps in the search for means of combating serious infectious diseases was made by the French microbiologist Louis Pasteur (1822-1895). He discovered that a severe infectious disease can be reduced to a much weaker form by injecting a person with weakened microbes that cause this disease.

Giving credit to Edward Jenner, who discovered vaccination against smallpox, Pasteur also called the way he discovered to prevent infectious diseases by vaccination, although his weakened bacteria had nothing to do with the actual "vaccination" (cowpox). Since then, the term "vaccination" has been used to refer to any inoculation against a disease, and the drug used for this procedure has come to be called a vaccine.

Pasteur made his discovery to a certain extent by accident. Working with the bacteria that cause fowl cholera, he concentrated the bacterial preparations to such an extent that their introduction under the skin, even in negligible amounts, caused the death of chickens within a day. One day, while conducting his experiments, he accidentally used a culture of bacteria from a week ago. This time, the disease in chickens was mild, and they all soon recovered. Pasteur decided that this bacterial culture had gone bad and prepared a new, more virulent one. But the introduction of a new culture did not lead to the death of the birds, which recovered after the introduction of "spoiled" bacteria.

Pasteur realized that infecting chickens with weakened bacteria caused them to develop a protective reaction that could prevent the development of the disease when highly virulent microorganisms entered the body.

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 ... >>

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. ... >>

LED flashlight 17.06.2001

The light of the flashlight is visible from a distance of more than 1,5 km!

Four light-emitting diodes are used as a light source, they are practically unbreakable, withstand a fall from a height of 10 m and have a long service life - up to 100 hours, or, in terms of years, 000 years of intensive use (of course, with recharging the cells).

Laboratory studies have shown that you can read with an electronic flashlight even after four weeks of continuous operation. Flashlight weight - 200 g, length - 17 cm.
