Why did the Greeks themselves send lead for bullets during the revolution in one of the battles?

In 1821, the struggle of the Greeks for independence from the Ottoman Empire began. In one of the battles, the Greeks laid siege to the Acropolis. When the Turks began to run out of ammunition, they began to open the columns of the Parthenon, remove the lead fasteners from there and cut them into bullets. Upon learning of this, the Greeks themselves sent a batch of lead to the enemy, just to prevent the destruction of the monument.

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 ... >>

Summit's fastest supercomputer in the world 13.06.2018

Since 2013, the fastest computer in the world has belonged to China, in 2016 the palm passed to Switzerland, and now the United States has taken over.

Summit is located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It is capable of about 200 quadrillion calculations per second, which is a million times faster than your average home computer and twice as fast as the previous record holder in this area. It employs about 37000 processors and occupies the area of two tennis courts.

But the most interesting thing about Summit is the purpose of its creation. The computer is specifically aimed at the functioning of artificial intelligence, it has 28000 GPUs optimized for machine learning algorithms.

With the capabilities that Summit offers, researchers can apply machine learning to problems in astronomy, chemistry, and biology. For example, Summit can analyze images from telescopes to search for objects on demand, or analyze complex DNA to recognize the structure of proteins.

Moreover, the goal of the United States, China and several EU countries is to create a computer capable of performing one quintillion calculations per second, that is, it should be five times more powerful than Summit. In the United States, such hopes are placed on the Aurora computer, which is scheduled to be completed in 2021.
