When did the yellow jersey appear in cycling?

Since 1919, on June 20 of this year, the French rider Eugene was the first to touch the finish line. Yellow was chosen for the jersey, as L'Auto, the founding newspaper of the Tour de France, was printed on yellow paper.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What heroine of Russian literature gave the name to the principle that explains the ability of economic systems to adapt?

Leo Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina" begins with the phrase: "All happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Based on this aphorism, the so-called Anna Karenina principle is derived, which is used to describe systems in various sciences. For example, Jared Diamond uses it to explain why so few animals have been domesticated by man - for successful domestication, several factors must coincide, and the absence of one of them makes domestication impossible. Economists use the principle of Anna Karenina when talking about the adaptation of systems to the external environment and their behavior during a crisis: all well-adapted systems have the same features, and all unadapted systems do not cope with adaptation in their own way.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Coffee and baldness 21.08.2007

German dermatologists have shown that if you keep pieces of skin that has lost hair in a caffeine solution, hair follicles are restored and after eight days hair growth increases by 30 - 40%, and the life expectancy of the hair grows by 37%.

Unfortunately, simply drinking coffee will not get rid of baldness. In order for the hair follicles to get as much caffeine as needed for their regeneration, it would be necessary to drink at least 60 cups of coffee a day. But a German cosmetics firm has already launched a caffeine-based hair growth lotion.
