What is the name of the most expensive beer in the world?

The most expensive beer was produced in 2000 by the French brewing company Fisher. A third-liter bottle from the first batch cost 80 francs (almost $12).

The beer is brewed with 250-year-old Greenland ice water and is called "63° N/46° W". The name indicates the geographical coordinates of the point where the ancient ice was taken from.

How did forks come about?

The first person to use a crude form of a fork while eating must have lived thousands of years ago. However, the fork we use at dinner is a very recent invention.

As a fork to eat meat, primitive man used a small forked branch. Some reputable scholars believe that the fork appeared at the same time as the arrow, and at first it was used as a toothpick.

The forks familiar to us were originally used only during cooking: they held the meat when it was cut. The first forks were long, with two prongs, they were made of iron, bone, hard wood.

It took quite a long time before forks were used at the table for eating. Even 300 years ago, forks were a rarity in Europe. Indeed, in France, people ate with their hands until the XNUMXth century. We have all heard of the magnificent court of Louis XIV and the feasts in his palace. Did you know that none of these elegant courtiers used forks?

When some people began to eat with forks, others made fun of their excessive finesse. When a rich lady from Venice in the XNUMXth century made herself a small golden fork to order, they wrote about her: “Instead of eating like other people, she has to cut food into small pieces and eat them with a two-pronged fork.”

500 years have passed, but even in the XNUMXth century in Venice, people who used forks were still ridiculed as eccentrics: "In Venice, in addition to a knife and a spoon, every person is served with a fork to hold the meat when you cut it, as they It's considered bad manners to touch meat with your hands."

Since the XNUMXth century, the rules of behavior at the table began to correspond to modern ones. Silver forks spread throughout Italy. And by the end of the XNUMXth century, the fork became simply necessary in the homes of cultured people.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Synthetic molecules destroy allergies 10.11.2012

Scientists have figured out how a synthetic molecule can destroy the complexes that cause allergic reactions. This discovery could lead to a very powerful development of fast-acting drugs to treat a range of acute allergic reactions. The research was carried out by scientists from Stanford University Medical School and the University of Bern, Switzerland.

A new inhibitor disarms IgE antibodies - key players in acute allergies. It separates antibodies from their chemical partners, molecules called FcRs.

"It would be incredibly fortunate if you could quickly turn off IgE antibodies in the midst of an acute allergic reaction," said Dr. Ted Zardecki, professor of structural biology and research team leader. However, it turned out that the inhibitor used by scientists does just that.

A wide variety of allergens, ranging from pollen to peanut butter, can cause an allergy in a matter of seconds by provoking IgE antibodies. The new synthetic inhibitor destroys the complex that binds IgE to FcR - the cells responsible for the reaction. Breaking that connection is the veritable Holy Grail for dealing with allergies.

"If you separate IgE from FcR on the surface of mast cells - immune cells of connective tissues - this will save a person from an allergic reaction," the authors of the study say.

As a result, a protein macromolecule was created, named by the creators of DARPin E2-79. It not only blocks the formation of new IgE-FcR complexes, but also actively decomposes already formed ones. And all this happens in just a few seconds. In addition, the molecule turned out to be small, but effective, which was a big surprise. The fact is that drug developers usually expect large macromolecules. And it seemed to them that E2-79 would turn out to be less powerful than small molecules of inhibitors, and would hardly be able to destroy the complexes. So the fact that the E2-79 worked so well came as a surprise. In addition, small molecules are more suitable for oral administration, as well as cheaper and easier to manufacture than large macromolecules.
