Why are there so many angry face crabs off the coast of Japan?

Off the coast of Japan, heikegani crabs live, the pattern on the shell of which resembles the face of an angry samurai. According to the popularizer of science Carl Sagan, this species owes its appearance to unintentional artificial selection. Many generations of Japanese fishermen, catching such crabs, released them back into the sea, as they considered them to be reincarnations of samurai who died in battle. By doing this, fishermen increased the chances of heikegani to reproduce and increase their number among other crabs.

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 ... >>

Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 Auto-Lacing Trainers 16.03.2016

Last fall, actor Michael J. Fox received a real auto-lacing shoe from Nike, much like the one his character wore in Back to the Future 2 back in 2015.

At the time, Nike said that this was only the first generation of this technology, the company intends to develop it and conduct tests in various sports, hoping to put the production of such sports shoes on the assembly line in the future.

This week, Nike announced the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 shoe, equipped with this functionality, which no longer looks out of touch with reality. Project lead Tiffany Beers says that once you're wearing the shoes, you can quickly adjust the tightness with two buttons on the sides.

Of course, the work did not stop there, at the moment the famous shoe designer Tinker Hatfield is working on a version of the sneaker that can adapt to the needs of athletes on the fly, changing the strength of the leg girth.

Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 Auto-Lacing Shoe Available in Three Colorways Later in the Year

The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 will go on sale around Christmas this year in three colorways. At first, only members of the Nike+ Club will be able to purchase them.
