Do sleepwalkers sleepwalk on full moon nights?

No. There is no connection between lunatics and the phases of our satellite. These people walk without waking up, and in this state they show unusual abilities: they translate from unfamiliar languages and walk on rooftops. In this state, they cannot be suddenly awakened: a seizure may occur.

Who published a book that encrypted itself after the first reading?

Cyberpunk founder William Gibson, in collaboration with artist Dennis Ashbaugh and publisher Kevin Begos Jr., released the concept work "Agrippa (Book of the Dead)" in 1992. It consisted of an art album, which included a floppy disk with a poem dedicated to human memory and the gradual blurring of the fragments stored in it. The peculiarity was that the poem could be read only once, since at the first reading the program on the floppy disk encrypted the text. Likewise, the album's drawings and lettering were printed with photosensitive ink, which began to fade when exposed to light.

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 ... >>

A new method for printing films from organic transistors 08.10.2020

Japanese scientists have developed a new way to create surfaces from thin-film organic transistors, which will allow them to be produced on an industrial scale. Fast and low-power transistors can serve as the emergence of completely new technologies for creating liquid crystal screens of various devices.

Over the past ten years, virtually all types of liquid crystal displays in phones and computers have used thin film transistors as a control element. These inorganic transistors consume very little power, but they also have some limitations that scientists at the University of Tokyo are trying to overcome.

The idea of organic thin-film transistors is not new, but researchers have proposed a new way to print transistor-based organic conductive films that will allow them to be produced on an industrial scale. Efficient printing was achieved by applying thin-film transistors to a special lyophobic - repulsive liquid - surface.

Similar to soap bubbles retaining their shape by reducing the surface tension of the liquid, during the printing process, thin liquid layers will form on the lyophobic surface, forming solid semiconductor films. In the course of numerous experiments, scientists have found that using a special U-shaped pattern when printing a film is most effective for its uniform growth.
