Can you eat the same food?

It is impossible to adhere to strict mono-diets for a long time: at the same time, the body does not receive very necessary substances.

How big are the stars?

Due to the extreme remoteness of the stars, no telescope can see a star as a ball of noticeable size. However, the diameter of a star can be roughly estimated based on the relationship between its size, luminosity, and surface temperature.

According to such estimates, the diameter of Aldebaran (alpha Taurus) is 36 times, the diameter of Arcturus (alpha Bootes) is 22 times, and the diameter of Capella (alpha Aurigae) is 16 times the diameter of the Sun. But this is far from the size limit of the giants of the stellar world - the diameter of Betelgeuse (alpha Orion) is 300-400 times larger than the solar one, and the diameters of two identical components of the eclipsing binary star VV Cephei are 1200 times larger.

At the same time, one of the smallest white dwarfs, the star Wolf 457, has a diameter 300 times smaller than the sun, or almost three times smaller than the Earth's. The diameter of the blue star discovered by Leyten in the constellation Cetus (designation LP 768-500) is 10 times smaller than the earth's and is approximately equal to the diameter of the asteroid Ceres.

Thus, the largest star is about a million times larger in diameter than the smallest one. And if we take into account that neutron stars have diameters of the order of 10 kilometers, then the ratio increases to a billion times.

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 ... >>
