Why don't spiders get into their web?

"Would you like to come visit me?" the spider asked the fly. The cunning spider is very smart, isn't it? He knows she will get confused and he will have a wonderful dinner.

But if the sticky web is a fly trap, why can't the spider itself get there? The answer will surprise you. It turns out it can. A spider just as easily finds itself in its web, like a fly.

The reason that this does not happen is that the spider is at home. He knows the web like the back of his hand. When a spider spins its web, it makes several "safe" strands that don't stick when touched.

There are many types of fibers that the spider produces. Sticky ones are used to catch prey. But there are also non-sticky ones that form strong web crossbars. The spider knows which ones are sticky and easily avoids the dangerous ones. Helps him in this delightful sense of touch.

What is a placebo and why is it used?

Borrowed from Latin, the word "placebo", meaning "please", entered medical practice about 200 years ago. This word is called dosage forms containing neutral substances.

Placebo is used to study the role of suggestion in the therapeutic effect of drugs, and also as a control in the study of the effectiveness of new drugs.

The placebo effect is explained by suggestion: by acting on the psyche, you can bring a person to death or save him from illness. A person can recover simply by drinking a glass of pure water, if he is sure that a miraculous medicine is dissolved in it.

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 ... >>

HD tablet for creative people from Wacom 07.03.2013

Wacom technologies are used in many modern mobile tablets equipped with a pressure-sensitive electronic pen, but so far the company itself has not tried to enter the booming market for such devices, preferring to release more familiar graphics tablets.

But everything can change - a well-known manufacturer of manipulators for digital artists and designers on the official Facebook page said that it is going to enter the mobile tablet market by releasing a device equipped with a professional pen, multi-touch capabilities and an HD display this summer.

No other details such as the operating system used by the device, processor or other details are reported, but if the tablet gets the capabilities of the Cintiq line of devices, then in professional circles and among fans of digital creativity, such a tablet can become quite popular.
