Which of the modern monarchical dynasties is the oldest?

In 660 BC, Jimmu, a native of the Japanese island of Kyushu, who called the goddess of the Sun his foremother, conquered the country of Yamato, took the title of Son of Heaven and founded a dynasty that has ruled Japan to this day.

Japanese emperors are the oldest of the modern monarchical dynasties. Akihito, who ascended the throne in 1989, is the 131st emperor of this dynasty.

Eight of Akihito's predecessors on the Japanese throne were women.

Which plant has the largest flowers?

The plant with the largest flowers is the Arnold's Rafflesia (Rafflesia arnoldii) found on the island of Sumatra. The flower of this plant in bud looks like a head of cabbage, and when opened it reaches 1 meter in diameter and can weigh up to 7 kilograms.

Rafflesia Arnold flowers emit a strong putrid smell and are pollinated by flies. Most surprisingly, this foul-smelling tropical giant is a close relative of the humble fragrant violet.

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 ... >>

Samsung fuel cells for players 23.02.2006

Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), a division of the company, has announced the development of a fuel cell for portable media players (PMPs).

The presented prototype allowed the MP3 player with a consumption of 1,5 W to work for four hours. You can recharge the battery with a replaceable fuel cartridge containing methanol. The company has invested $3,9 million in the development of the technology.

Prospective studies started in 2004. When creating a fuel cell, scientists used nanocomposite membranes applied by printing electronic circuits to flexible materials for auxiliary components and a silent process for supplying fuel (methanol).

Samsung plans to commercialize the technology in 2007 or 2008. Soon, together with SAIT, Samsung will introduce another type of PMP fuel cell. The innovation will allow the players to work up to 10 hours without changing the cartridge. SAIT specialists have also developed a fuel cell for PDAs. A 1,3W methanol power supply will give a small computer the "power" to run for up to eight hours. The fuel cells have a capacity of about 200 Wh per litre.

According to the Japanese Research Institute, the global market for fuel cells will be $124 million this year, by 2010 it will grow to $724 million, and in 2015 fuel cells will become a traditional power source - the market will increase to $2,49 billion.
