How did cavemen make their tools?

According to scientists, prehistoric people who lived about 300 years ago were cave dwellers. Their main occupation was hunting. Everyone made his own tools and implements. With a stone mallet, he smashed the cobblestones so that they became the right size for hunting. The result was a hammer, one end of which was slightly pointed. It was used for digging, scraping, hewing or cutting. Another widely used tool then was the hand axe. It was on a heavy handle and sharpened on both sides. It was used for various purposes, such as digging up roots, cracking nuts, or slaughtering and skinning animals.

The Neanderthals, who lived 150 to 000 years ago, were also cave dwellers. In addition to the hand axe, the Neanderthal had pointed tools. They were skillfully made of flint and had a sharp end. Some of them were in the shape of a trihedron. Some pointed tools had one end bent like a hook.

During the next period, the Upper Paleolithic (50 - 000 years ago), bladed tools appeared. They were long, sharp tools made from a special kind of flint. They laid the foundation for scrapers, drills and so on. One type of these tools was widely used: needles with an eye made of bone were used for sewing together animal skins.

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 ... >>

Monitor Iiyama ProLite X3291HS 14.12.2015

Iiyama has expanded its family of monitors with the ProLite X3291HS model, which has a diagonal of 31,5 inches: sales of new items will start in the near future.

The novelty is made on the AH-IPS matrix. The resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels, which corresponds to the Full HD format. Response time - 5 ms.

The panel has a brightness of 250 cd / m2, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 (dynamic contrast ratio reaches 12:000). The horizontal and vertical viewing angles are 000 degrees.

Blue Light Reducer technology reduces blue light intensity. This reduces the load on the visual apparatus and reduces eye fatigue. In addition, the panel boasts no flicker.

To connect signal sources, an analog D-Sub connector, digital DVI and HDMI interfaces are provided. There are 3-watt stereo speakers. Dimensions are 737,5 x 240 x 523,5 mm, weight - 7 kg.

It will be possible to buy a novelty at an estimated price of $ 320.
