Was Pluto a satellite of Neptune?

Recently (August 2006), demoted from major planets to minor planets, Pluto, more than 5,8 million km away from us, revolves around the Sun in an orbit inclined to the plane of the orbits of all other planets by 17 ° and so elongated that from time to time enters the orbit of its 16 times larger neighbor Neptune. Therefore, some astronomers believe that once Pluto could be its satellite.

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 ... >>

Wheat and peas will grow faster 15.01.2018

Researchers from the English Research Institute in Norwich, the universities of Queensland and Sydney have developed a technology for accelerated crossing of plants. Scientists and engineers have reduced the life span of one generation of plants, from seed to seed, to eight weeks. This breeding rate allows for up to six experimental crops per year; this is three times more than usual.

Why plant growth is important, explains study leader Brande Wulff: "A crowded planet needs large yields and disease and pest resistant crops. The faster we can test new varieties, the faster we can give farmers new, better crops." ".

Plants grown using the accelerated method look just as good as normal plants and produce as many seeds as those grown in the usual time frame. New varieties of agricultural plants bred using accelerated crossbreeding technology will be on the market in 10 years, Wolf said.

In greenhouses for accelerated crossing, light is 22 hours; additional lighting after sunset and even at noon is provided by economical LEDs. Room settings. such as humidity and temperature are monitored at all times by a system of sensors and regulators. To date, the authors of the study, published in Nature Plants, have managed to harvest six crops a year of the following crops: wheat, durum (durum "pasta" wheat), barley, beans and peas.
