Where is more caffeine - in a cup of tea or in a cup of coffee?

In a cup of coffee.

The dry tea leaf contains a higher percentage of caffeine by weight than the coffee bean. However, the average cup of coffee contains three times more caffeine than the same amount of tea, because more beans are used to make coffee.

The amount of caffeine in tea and coffee depends on a number of factors. The higher the water temperature, the more caffeine is drawn from the leaves and beans. Espresso, for example, is made with high-pressure steam, and a drop of this divine drink contains more caffeine than a drop of brewed coffee. The caffeine content is also affected by the time during which water is in contact with tea leaves or coffee beans. The longer the contact, the higher the percentage of caffeine.

In addition, the variety of coffee and tea, the area where they were grown, how long the coffee beans were roasted and how the tea leaf is cut play an important role.

The darker the coffee roast, the less caffeine it contains. In the case of tea, the concentration of caffeine in the bud and upper leaf of the bush is higher than in the large lower leaf.

Paradoxically, an average 30 ml shot of espresso contains about the same amount of caffeine as a 150 ml cup of Brooke Bond tea. So from a portion of cappuccino or latte "caffeine hit" will be no stronger than from a mug of tea. On the other hand, a cup of instant coffee contains only half the amount of caffeine found in the same amount of Americano.

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 ... >>

Screen time re-evaluation 27.05.2021

By screen time, we mean the time we spent burying our noses in a tablet, smartphone, laptop or TV. It would be more correct to say "the time that a person spent in front of the screen", but this is too inconvenient and long, so we'll just leave the screen time. It is believed that the more we sit in gadgets, the worse for the brain.

But there's one problem with these studies, which has to do with how screen time is measured. You can track it by the device itself, by the time the smartphone, tablet is active, etc. Or you can ask the person how much time he thinks he spends with his gadget. The second way to collect data is easier, but how does the subjective assessment of screen time correspond to reality?

Researchers at Stellenbosch University have examined the validity of numerous findings about teenagers with gadgets, social media depression, and the like. If we don't have good data on screen time, then we can't really judge how much social media use is associated with depression and loneliness, or how computer games are associated with antisocial behavior.
